Energy Consumption in the Sleep Mode

You can set the amount of energy that the machine consumes when it is in the Sleep mode.


Remark
  • The machine may not enter the Sleep mode completely, depending on the status and type of installed MEAP applications (e.g., there still may be applications running in the background consuming power).
  • If there are less than 10 minutes remaining before a Delayed Send job is to be sent, the machine will not enter the Sleep mode completely.
  • If you are using a management application (such as NetSpot Console) to view or manage the settings and status of the machine via the network, the machine may not enter the Sleep mode completely.
  • The machine will not enter the Sleep mode completely when it is connected to a computer via a USB cable.
  • When memory media or a USB keyboard is connected to the USB port, the machine may not enter the Sleep mode completely.
  • The machine may not enter the Sleep mode completely in the following cases:
  • If <Ethernet Type> in [Ethernet Driver Settings] in [Network Settings] (from the Additional Functions screen) is set to '1000 Base-T'
  • If the IPSec Board is installed and <Use IPSec> in [IPSec Settings] in [TCP/IP Settings] (from the Additional Functions screen) is set to 'On'
  • If the Wireless LAN Board is installed
  • In some cases, the energy consumption level in the Sleep mode is 'High' even when the energy consumption level is set to 'Low' when:
  • A job is being processed (including a forwarding job, report job, receive job, and sending a forwarding done notice).
  • Any of the following settings are set from the Additional Functions screen:
