You can conserve power efficiently when the machine is not being used by using the following modes.

• Even if the main power switch is turned OFF, a small amount of energy is consumed if the power plug is left inserted into the power outlet. If you do not want any energy consumed, remove the power plug from the power outlet.

• The touch panel display turns OFF when the machine enters one of the energy saving modes.

• The machine can continue to receive I-fax or fax documents, and process or print data sent from computers even if it is in one of the energy saving modes described below.

• Energy Saver Mode

The Energy Saver mode conserves energy by lowering the temperature of the fixing unit 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. To reactivate the machine, press (Energy Saver) again. You can also press the control panel power switch to reactivate the machine.

• The Energy Saver mode's energy conservation level can be set to '-10%', '-25%', '-50%', or 'None'. The default setting is '-10 %'. See "Change Energy Saver Mode.")

• Auto Sleep Mode

You can set the machine to enter the Sleep mode whenever you desire, by pressing the control panel power switch, or specify to have the machine enter the Sleep mode at a preset time. To reactivate the machine, press the control panel power switch again.

• The machine may not enter the Sleep mode completely depending on certain conditions. (For more information, see "Energy Consumption in the Sleep Mode.")

• The Auto Sleep mode enables you to conserve more energy than the Low-Power mode.

• Press the control panel power switch to enter the sleep mode when you are not using the machine for a prolonged period of time, for example, at night.

• If a Macintosh, which has been shut down, is connected to the machine via a USB cable, when you turn the machine ON, the Macintosh may also turn ON. In this case, disconnect the Macintosh from the machine. (You may also be able to solve this problem by using a USB hub between the machine and the Macintosh).

• If Sleep Mode Energy Use is set to 'Low', it may take more than 10 seconds for the touch panel to be displayed after pressing the control panel power switch.

• The time it takes for the machine to automatically enter the Sleep mode can be set from 5 minutes to 4 hours. The default setting is '15' minutes. (See "Auto Sleep Time.")

• Weekly Timer

The machine automatically enters the Sleep mode at the specified time and day of the week set with the weekly timer. To reactivate the machine, press the control panel power switch.

• The Weekly Timer settings can be set from Sunday to Saturday and 00:00 to 23:59. (See "Weekly Timer Settings.")

• Low-Power Mode

The Low-Power mode conserves energy by turning OFF the control panel, and reducing the power consumption of the fixing unit when the machine is idle for a certain period of time (after the last print job or key operation is performed). (Energy Saver) maintains a steady green light while the machine is in the Low-Power mode. To reactivate the machine, press (Energy Saver).

• The Low-Power mode conserves more energy than the Energy Saver mode when the Energy Saver mode is set to '-10%', '25%', or 'None'.

• The time it takes for the machine to automatically enter the Low-Power mode can be set from 5 minutes to 4 hours. The default setting is '1' hour. (See "Low Power Mode Time.")
