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.
If the scanner is left powered on for 10 minutes (factory default setting) or longer without being used, it automatically enters power saving mode.
Even after the scanner enters power saving mode, the power indicator remains on.
To resume from power saving mode, perform one of the following:
Load a document in the ADF paper chute (feeder).
Press the scan/stop button on the operator panel.
Scan a document with the image scanning application.
If the scanner is not operated for a certain period of time, it turns off automatically to reduce power consumption while the scanner is in standby.
To disable this function, clear the [Power off after a certain period of time] check box in [Device Setting] of the Software Operation Panel. For details, refer to Waiting Time for the Scanner to Enter Power Saving Mode [Power saving].
To turn the scanner back on after it has turned off automatically, press the power button on the operator panel. For details, refer to How to Turn the Power ON.
The scanner may not enter power saving mode if there was a document remaining on the paper path. For details about how to remove a document, refer 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.
The waiting time for entering power saving mode can be changed in the Software Operation Panel.
For details, refer to Waiting Time for the Scanner to Enter Power Saving Mode [Power saving].
