These functions help save power consumption by managing operations of sections prone to high power consumption. The machine provides two power-saving modes.
AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF TIMER If no operations are taking place, 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.
Although the power-saving rate is higher, the wakeup time is longer.
PREHEAT MODE This mode lowers the temperature of the fusing unit and makes the machine wait in low power consumption state.
Compared to Auto Power Shut-Off Timer, the power-saving rate is lower, but the wakeup time is shorter.
In addition to these two modes, using the following functions in conjunction helps reduce even more power consumption.
Function Description
