Each Energy Save settings in System Settings is not applied when Custom/Eco mode is
used.
This mode turns off the power to the operation panel and the fusing unit, and makes
the machine wait in the lowest power consumption state.
Auto Power Shut-Off mode will activate when the set duration of time elapses in waiting
status without executing a job.
Compared to preheat mode, the power-saving rate is considerably higher but the wakeup
time is longer.
The power indicator blinks in yellow when the machine is in Auto Power Shut-Off mode.
This mode is cleared when print data is being received or when the [Power] button
is pressed while it is blinking.
A message appears 15 seconds before Auto Power Shut-Off Mode is entered.
To close the message and continue normal operation, tap the [Continue] button.
The message appears again 15 seconds before the end of the extension of normal operation
time.
If no action is taken within 15 seconds after the message appears, the machine enters
auto power shut-off mode.
This mode lowers the temperature of the fusing unit and makes the machine wait in
low power consumption state.
Preheat mode will activate when the set duration of time elapses in waiting status
without executing a job.
Compared to Auto Power Shut-Off Mode, the amount of energy saved is less and the wakeup
time is shorter.
The touch panel goes off.
The power indicator lights in blue when the machine is in preheat mode.
The touch panel is cleared when it is tapped or the [Home Screen] button is pressed.
A message appears 15 seconds before Preheat Mode is entered.
To close the message and continue normal operation, tap the [Continue] button.
If no action is taken within 15 seconds after the message appears, the machine enters
preheat mode.
Printing data in Auto Power Shut-Off Timer turns on the power and then the machine
returns to Auto Power Shut-Off Timer at a set time after completing the print job.
The transition time of auto power shutoff for jobs other than remote jobs is set.
This can be set in "Settings (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Energy
Save] → [Eco Setting] → [Auto Power Shut-Off Timer] → [Other Job].
The Auto Power Shut-Off Timer is fixed. Select [Fix transition time.], and set the
transition time.
When this setting is enabled, the [Change transition time by time of day.] option
is disabled.
This function controls the transition to Auto Power Shut-Off mode optimally for each
time period by analyzing the use of the machine based on job logs obtained during
a 4-week period.
When this setting is enabled, the [Fix transition time.] option is disabled.

This function controls the power optimally for each time period by analyzing the use
of machine based on job logs obtained during a certain time period.
Manual
You can set a pattern for each time band.
The machine already has the 3-pattern template. The Energy Save pattern can be added
to the "Original Eco Patterns 1 to 4".
Three-pattern template
Template | Pattern | Description of mode |
---|---|---|
Template 1 |
All Day "Energy Save Priority2" |
The machine runs in the "Mode4 (Energy Saving Priority2)" all the time. |
Template 2 |
8:00-18:00 "Energy Save Priority1" |
The machine runs in "Mode3 (Energy Saving Priority1)" between 8:00 and 18:00, and in "Mode4 (Energy Saving Priority2)" at other times. |
Template 3 |
8:00-18:00 "Job Start Priority1" |
The machine runs in "Mode1 (Job Start Priority1)" between 8:00 and 18:00, and in "Mode4 (Energy Saving Priority2)" at other times. |
Low Power: The machine switches to the power saving mode, but it takes some time to
recover.
Fast Wake Up: Compared with Low Power, the power value rises by a certain degree,
but it results in faster recovery.
Non-print jobs are performed with the fusing unit turned off.
Set "Eco Fusing Setting" to, and select a mode or screen in which to enable Eco Fusing Setting.
The following modes and screens can be set.
This function analyzes machine usage and controls entry into auto power shutoff mode
based on frequency of use. If you want to manage machine power by using an energy
