Energy Consumption in the Sleep Mode

You can set the amount of energy that the machine consumes when it is in the Sleep mode.

Press

(Settings/Registration).

Press [Preferences] → [Timer/Energy Settings] → [Sleep Mode Energy Use].

Specify the following setting → press [OK].

Details of each item are shown below:

[Low]:	Energy consumption in the Sleep mode is low, but it takes longer to recover from the Sleep mode.
[High]:	Energy consumption in the Sleep mode is high, but it takes less time to recover from the Sleep mode.

NOTE
If Sleep Mode Energy Use is set to 'Low', it may take more than 10 seconds for the touch panel to appear after pressing (Energy Saver).

IMPORTANT
If the machine is connected to a computer using a USB cable, depending on the timing for entering the sleep mode, the machine may be unable to receive data correctly. Reactivate the machine from the sleep mode, then execute the job again.

NOTE

If the energy consumption level is set to 'Low', communication failure may occur, depending on the network utility software you are using. To avoid this, press

(Energy Saver) to cancel the Sleep mode before using the machine.

The energy consumption level is 'High' even when set to 'Low', depending on the status and type of installed MEAP applications.

If there are less than 10 minutes remaining before a Delayed Send job is to be sent, the energy consumption level is 'High' even when set to 'Low'.

If you are using a management application to view or manage the settings and status of the machine via the network, the energy consumption level is 'High' even when set to 'Low'.

In the following cases, the energy consumption level in the Sleep mode is 'High' even when the energy consumption level is set to 'Low'.

A job is being processed (including a forwarding, report, and receive jobs, and sending a forwarding done notice).

Any of the following settings are set from the Settings/Registration screen:

[Preferences]
[Network]	[AppleTalk Settings]	<Use AppleTalk> is set to 'On'.
[Network]	[IEEE 802.1X Settings]	<Use IEEE 802.1X> is set to 'On'.
[Function Settings]
[Send]		<Specify Print Time> in [Communication Management Report] is set to 'On'.*1 The <POP Interval> setting in [E-Mail/I-Fax Settings] is set to 10 minutes or less (except when the POP interval is set to '0').
[Fax Settings]		<Specify Print Time> in [Fax Activity Report] is set to 'On'.*1
[Receive/Forward]	[Set Fax/I-Fax Inbox]	A time limit for receiving fax/I-fax documents in memory is set.*1

*1 If there are more than 10 minutes remaining before the specified time, the machine consumes the same amount of energy as when the energy consumption level is set to 'Low'.
