Powering the System On/Off
Although the printer and controller may be powered on and off manually, the recommended procedure is 
to allow the Power Saver feature to manage the machine power. 
Using the Power Saver Feature
The Power Saver feature automatically reduces the power consumption when no print data are received 
within a preset period. The Power Saver feature has two modes, [Low Power mode] and [Sleep mode].
The machine enters the [Low Power mode] after a preset period elapses. The machine transitions to the 
[Sleep mode] from the [Low Power mode] if the machine remains idle for an additional period.
Note 
Refer to the section on Timers to learn how to customize the Power Saver mode settings.
Low Power Mode
In this mode, the power to the control panel and the fuser is reduced. As the machine enters the [Low 
Power mode], the touch screen shuts down and the  button on the control panel illuminates. 
Sleep Mode
In this mode, the power is reduced more than in the [Low Power mode]. During the transition from the Low 
Power mode to the Sleep mode, the touch screen will remain dark and the  button will 
remain illuminated. 
Entering the Power Saver Mode
The Power Saver Mode may be entered either automatically or manually.
Automatic Method: The machine will enter the [Low Power mode] after a preset period elapses. The 
machine will enter the [Sleep mode] from the [Low Power mode] if the machine remains idle for an 
additional, preset period.
Manual Method: Press the  button on the control panel. The button will illuminate, the 
machine will enter the [Low Power mode], and the touch screen’s backlight will extinguish.
