Entering Sleep Mode

The sleep mode function reduces the amount of power consumed by the machine by disabling power flow to the control 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 control 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.
