sleep mode if no operation has been performed  on the machine for a preset period of time. The 
factory default setting time is one minutes (1 to 120 minutes).
Copiers and printers are generally in a standby mo de more than they are in actual operation, so 
power consumption in the standby mode occupi es a large part of overall consumption. 
Automatically putting the machine in a resting state reduces unnecessary power consumption in the 
standby mode, resulting in a lower electricity bill.
