Entering and Resuming from Power Saving Mode
The scanner enters power saving mode when it is left on without being used for a certain period of time.
Power saving mode keeps the power consumption low when the scanner has not been used for a certain period of time.
Power saving mode has two types of settings.
Power Save
If the scanner is left powered on for 15 minutes (factory default setting) or longer without being used, it automatically enters power saving mode.
When the scanner enters power saving mode, the LCD or Function Number Display and button on the scanner operate as follows.
For fi-8190/fi-8290/fi-8170/fi-8270
The LCD switches off. The [Scan/Enter] button flashes in green.
For fi-8150/fi-8250/fi-8150U/fi-8250U
The Function Number Display switches off. The [Scan/Stop] button flashes in green.
To resume from power saving mode, perform one of the following:
Load a document in the ADF paper chute (feeder).
Press any button on the scanner (except the [Power] button).
Scan a document with the image scanning application.
Auto Shutdown
The scanner is turned off automatically if it is left on without being used for a certain period of time (4 hours for the factory default setting).
To turn the power back on after the power is turned off automatically, press the [Power] button. For details, refer to How to Turn the Power ON.
If there is a document that remains on the paper path, the scanner may not enter power saving mode. Remove the documents by referring to When a Paper Jam Occurs.
Depending on the image scanning application being used, the scanner might not turn off even if the [Power off after a certain period of time] check box is selected.
If the scanner is automatically turned off while you are using the image scanning application, exit the application, and then turn the scanner back on.
