<Timer/Energy Settings>

This section describes the timer settings and energy settings.

<Adjust Time>

You can adjust the time in minutes.


Even if you change the time from 23:59 to 00:00, the date will not be changed.

Date/Time Settings

Setting the current date and time is very important. For instructions on how to configure the setting, see Setting the Date/Time.

<Time Format>

You can set whether to display the time in 24-hour notation or 12-hour notation.

<Quick Startup Settings for Main Power>

If you set this function to <On>, you can reduce the time it takes until you can perform operations on the screen and scan originals after the power is turned ON.


When this function is enabled Standby power is consumed even when the power is turned OFF A tone sounds when turning the power ON/OFF. (However, the machine may not be able to start up quickly and the tone may not sound, depending on the status of the machine.)

<Auto Reset Time>

You can specify the time period in which you are logged out and the touch panel display returns to the default setting automatically.

<Restrict Auto Reset Time>

If you set this function to <On>, general users become unable to set <Auto Reset Time> and <Function After Auto Reset>.

<Function After Auto Reset>

You can set whether the default screen set for <Default Screen after Startup/Restoration> in <Preferences> or the immediately previous screen is displayed at startup after the Auto Reset initiates.


If you select <Initial Function>, the screen set in <Default Screen after Startup/Restoration> is displayed when the Auto Reset initiates. If you select <Selected Function>, the Basic Features screen for the function you were using is displayed again.

<Auto Sleep Time>

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>

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.

<Auto Sleep Weekly Timer>

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


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

<Time Settings for Auto Adjust Gradation>

You can automatically perform the automatic gradation adjustment at a set time every day.

<Sleep Mode Exit Time Settings>

You can set the time for recovering from the Sleep mode.

<Sleep Mode Eco Exit>

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>

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.


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>.

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>.
