Entering Sleep Mode

The sleep mode function reduces the amount of power consumption by temporarily disabling some internal operations of the machine. If no operations will be performed on the machine for a while, such as during a lunch break, you can save power simply by pressing  on the operation panel. You can also use the <Auto Sleep Time> setting to automatically put the machine into sleep mode if it remains idle for a specified period of time.
