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.
Press if the machine will not be used for a long period of time, such as overnight
Put the machine into Sleep mode as a safety precaution.
When in sleep mode
When the machine enters sleep mode,  lights up yellow green.
Situations in which the machine does not enter sleep mode
The machine will not enter sleep mode in the following situations:
When the machine is in operation
When the Data indicator is lit up or blinking
When the machine is performing an operation such as adjustment or cleaning
When a paper jam occurs
When the receiver of the external telephone is off the hook
When the machine is set such that the fax incoming ring will not sound
When the menu screen is displayed
When a job is waiting to be scanned to a USB memory device or to a computer
When an error message is displayed on the screen (There are some exceptions. The machine sometimes enters sleep mode when an error message is displayed.)
When the machine is communicating with an LDAP server, etc.
When the SSID/network key screen for Direct Connection is displayed
When settings are being imported or exported
If the situation preventing the machine from entering sleep mode continues, the machine performs automatic adjustment (automatic calibration) to maintain print quality. Calibration uses toner and may therefore result in a decrease in the lifetime of the toner cartridges.
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>  
Changing the Sleep Mode Setting to the Specified Time
You can configure a setting so that the machine is placed into the sleep mode at the specified time. You can also configure a setting so that the sleep mode is released at the specified time.
<Menu> <Preferences> <Timer/Energy Settings> Select <Auto Sleep Daily Timer> or <Sleep Mode Exit Time Settings> Select <On> in <Set This Function>, and enter the time <Apply>  
Exiting Sleep Mode
You can press  or any other key on the operation panel to exit the sleep mode.
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.
