Entering Sleep Mode
The sleep mode function reduces the amount of power consumed by the machine by disabling power flow to the
operation panel. If no operations will be performed on the machine for a while, such as during a lunch break, you can

Changing the Auto Sleep Time value
Auto Sleep Time is a function that automatically puts the machine into the sleep mode if it remains idle for a
specified length of time. We recommend using the factory default settings (
Settings>(P. 473) ) to reduce power usage. If you want to change the amount of time that elapses before the
machine enters the auto sleep mode, perform the procedure below.
