<Auto Sleep Time>

(Settings/Registration)

You can set the time until the machine automatically enters the Sleep mode if no operations are performed.


It is recommended that the default value is used for this setting.

<Sleep Mode Energy Use>

(Settings/Registration)

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


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. The energy consumption level may be the same as when <High> is set even when <Low> is set, depending on the status of the machine.


When performing wireless communication while <Sleep Mode Energy Use> is set to <Low>, and <Wireless LAN Settings> or <Use Bluetooth> is enabled, <Compensate for Network Comm.> changes to <On>. 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 the Energy Saver key to cancel the Sleep mode before using the machine.

If you set both the <Auto Sleep Time> and <Auto Sleep Weekly Timer>, the <Auto Sleep Time> setting is given priority.

<Energy Saver/Sleep Mode Exit Time Settings>

(Settings/Registration)

You can set the time that the machine automatically exits the Sleep mode each day of the week.

<Mode After Energy Saver Key Pressed>

(Settings/Registration)

You can select the mode which is activated after the Energy Saver key is pressed. In <Energy Saver Mode>, the machine consumes more power than in <Sleep Mode>, but operations can be resumed more quickly.


Setting <Mode After Energy Saver Key Pressed> in <Energy Saver Mode> is required to set energy saver mode.


After deactivating the Energy Saver mode, the machine's recovery time may vary, depending on the energy saving level setting and the surrounding environment (i.e., temperature, humidity, etc.).

<Change Energy Saver Mode>

(Settings/Registration)

When the machine is not used for a prolonged period of time, you can set the machine to enter the Energy Saver mode by pressing

(Energy Saver) on the control panel. The Energy Saver mode conserves energy by lowering the temperature of the fixing unit. To reactivate the machine, press

(Energy Saver) again.


After deactivating the Energy Saver mode, the machine's recovery time may vary, depending on the energy saving level setting and the surrounding environment (i.e., temperature, humidity, etc.). A tone sounds when the machine is turned ON, or when the machine is turned OFF if you set <Energy Saver/Sleep Tone> in <Other Volume Settings> to <On>.

<Silent Mode Time>

(Settings/Registration)

This machine enters the Silent mode after a specified time period has elapsed following a print job, or a key operation is performed. You can specify the time period until the machine automatically enters the Silent mode.


If <0> is selected, the Silent mode is not set.

<Sleep Mode Eco Exit>

(Settings/Registration)

When you cancel sleep mode and start the operation, you can activate necessary functions sequentially. The control panel is activated first, followed by other functions activated in response to the user's operations. You can save energy and lower noise by not activating unnecessary functions.

<Use Motion Sensor>

(Settings/Registration)

When the motion sensor detects a person near the machine, the machine exits the Sleep mode automatically. You can adjust the accuracy for detecting people by changing the sensor sensitivity.

The following four sensitivity settings are available for <Sensor Sensitivity>. When a user stays in the detection area longer than a certain period of time, the machine exits the Sleep mode.

Sensitivity Setting	Sensitivity Level
Low	With this sensitivity level, the machine does not recover even if someone passes by slowly.
Standard	With this sensitivity level, the machine does not recover even if someone passes by at a regular speed.
Slightly High	With this sensitivity level, the recovery speed is prioritized more than the "Standard" level.
High	With this sensitivity level, the recovery speed is given top priority.


<Low>, <Medium>, and <High> may be displayed for the <Sensor Sensitivity> setting, depending on the model of the machine you are using. (The default value is <Medium>.) In this case, note the following. If you set <Sensor Sensitivity> to <Low>, the machine will not easily recover from the Sleep mode, even if someone walks in front of it slowly. If you set <High>, the machine will easily recover from the Sleep mode, even if someone walks in front of it quickly. If the room temperature is high or the body temperature of the user is low, the machine will have trouble detecting the user. In this case, set <Sensor Sensitivity> to <High>. If the temperature around the machine changes, the sensor will become sensitive and easily recover from the Sleep mode. In this case, set <Sensor Sensitivity> to <Low>. Depending on the sensitivity setting, the machine may recover from the Sleep mode even when not in use. If you are disturbed by the operation sounds made when this happens, you can reduce the noise level by setting <Sleep Mode Eco Exit> to <On>. If you feel that something is wrong with the motion sensor, change the sensitivity setting in <Sensor Sensitivity> or turn the motion sensor <Off>.

<Low>, <Medium>, and <High> may be displayed for the <Sensor Sensitivity> setting, depending on the model of the machine you are using. (The default value is <Medium>.) In this case, note the following.

If you set <Sensor Sensitivity> to <Low>, the machine will not easily recover from the Sleep mode, even if someone walks in front of it slowly. If you set <High>, the machine will easily recover from the Sleep mode, even if someone walks in front of it quickly.

If the room temperature is high or the body temperature of the user is low, the machine will have trouble detecting the user. In this case, set <Sensor Sensitivity> to <High>.

If the temperature around the machine changes, the sensor will become sensitive and easily recover from the Sleep mode. In this case, set <Sensor Sensitivity> to <Low>.

Depending on the sensitivity setting, the machine may recover from the Sleep mode even when not in use. If you are disturbed by the operation sounds made when this happens, you can reduce the noise level by setting <Sleep Mode Eco Exit> to <On>.

If you feel that something is wrong with the motion sensor, change the sensitivity setting in <Sensor Sensitivity> or turn the motion sensor <Off>.
