Entering Sleep Mode

The sleep mode function reduces the amount of power consumed by the machine by disabling power flow to the operation panel. 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 length of time.

When You Want to Set the Auto Sleep Timer
The factory default setting for the amount of time that elapses before the machine enters auto sleep mode is 3 minutes (the user setting range is 3 to 240 minutes). We recommend using the factory default settings to save the most power. If you want to change the amount of time that elapses before the machine enters auto sleep mode, follow the procedure below.
<Menu>  <Timer Settings>  <Auto Sleep Time>  Set the amount of time that elapses before the machine automatically enters sleep mode  <Apply>
