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/Energy 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> 
<Preferences> <Timer/Energy Settings> <Auto Sleep Time> Set the amount of time that elapses before the machine automatically enters sleep mode <Apply> (
