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.

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.
<Menu> ()  <Timer Settings>  <Auto Sleep Time>  Set the amount of time that elapses before the machine automatically enters sleep mode  <Apply> ()
Exiting Sleep Mode
You can press  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 or the optional handset is connected, the machine exits sleep mode when you take the receiver off the hook.
