Energy Save

Eco Setting

The machine's power consumption can be reduced by Eco Mode setting. Although each function setting can be changed separately, the machine has the "Custom" and "Eco Mode" to allow simultaneous changing of settings.

Eco Recommendation Function Display

You can display eco-recommended functions such as two-sided printing and N-Up during copying, document filing print, and direct print.
Setting values applied by each mode is as follows.

Energy Save	Custom Mode	Eco Mode
Preheat Mode Setting	1 minutes	1 minutes
Turn off Panel Display during pre-heat mode	On	On
Auto Power Shut-Off Timer Remote Job	Earliest	Earliest
Auto Power Shut-Off Timer Other Job	Fix transition time.: 11min. (for Europe) 1min. (Except for Europe)	Fix transition time.: 1min.
Sleep Mode Power Level	Low Power	Low Power
Eco Scan Setting	On	On (All Modes Except Copy)

Factory default settings:: Disable

Each Energy Save settings in System Settings is not applied when Custom/Eco mode is used.

Display a Message to Delay the Time of Entry into Preheat Mode / Auto Power Shut-Off Mode

Set whether a message is displayed 15 seconds before Preheat Mode or Auto Power Shut-Off Mode is entered.

Factory default settings:: Disable

Mode Setting

This function allows you to set the Eco function at once. There are "Custom Mode" and "Eco Mode".

Item	Description
Custom Mode	Allows easy machine operation with reduced power consumption.
Eco Mode	Minimizes the machine's power consumption.

Preheat Mode Setting

The time until the preheating mode works is 1 to 60 minutes in 1-minute units.
Preheat Mode will activate when the set duration of time elapses after printing ends and no further operations are performed. This function reduces your power costs, and at the same time helps conserve natural resources and reduce pollution.
Select the time that best suits the needs of your workplace.
The panel display can be turned Off in the Preheat mode.

Factory default settings:: 1 minutes

Preheat mode cannot be disabled.

Turn off Panel Display during pre-heat mode

Set whether the lights on the operation panel turn off in preheat mode.

Factory default settings:: Enable

Auto Power Shut-Off Timer

Sets the time to transition to Auto Power Shut-Off mode.
This can be set for "Remote Job" and "Other Job".

Remote Job

Select "Earliest" or enter a set time.

Factory default settings:: Earliest

Other Job

Fix transition time.

The Auto Power-Off transition time is fixed.
When this setting is enabled, the [Change transition time by time of day.] option is disabled.

Factory default settings:: Enable, Auto Power Shut-Off Timer:1 minutes

In Europe, this setting is not available and auto power shut-off is always enabled.

Change transition time by time of day.

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.

Factory default settings:: Disable

The image transfer control settings are not changed.
This does not link to the Power On/Off Scheduling. If both of them are enabled, the Power On/Off Scheduling settings precede.
Pages are counted for each paper size separately.
When the power supply of the machine was off, there was no job during this time.

Transition to Energy Saving and Auto Power Shut-Off modes

Pattern	Transition time	Average outputs per hour*
Mode1 (Job Start Priority1)	After 1 hour	700 or more
Mode2 (Job Start Priority2)	After 30 minutes	150 to 699
Mode3 (Energy Save Priority1)	After 5 minutes	40 to 149
Mode4 (Energy Save Priority2)	After the minimum time period	0 to 39

Auto
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.

If the machine does not have the 4-week job log information, the machine enters the template2 (Mode3 (Energy Saving Priority1) between 8:00 and 18:00 hours). Then after that, it enters Mode4 (Energy Saving Priority2).

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.

Sleep Mode Power Level

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.

Factory default settings:: Low Power

Eco Scan Setting

This setting keeps the fusing unit off when you perform an operation that does not involve printing, such as sending a scanned document.
Set "Eco Scan Setting" to , and select a mode or screen in which to enable Eco Scan Setting. The following modes and screens can be set.

Home Screen

Copy

Image Send

Document Filing

System Settings
