Changing the Auto Sleep Time Value

Auto Sleep Time is a function that automatically puts the machine into the sleep mode if it remains idle for a specified length of time. We recommend using the factory default settings (<Timer Settings>) to reduce power usage. If you want to change the amount of time that elapses before the machine enters the auto sleep mode, perform the procedure below.

Exiting Sleep Mode

or any other key on the operation panel to exit the sleep mode.


On the touch panel model, you can also tap the display to exit sleep mode. If an external telephone is connected, the machine exits sleep mode when you take the receiver off the hook.
