The Objective of the International Energy
Star Program
To protect the global environment and conserve energy sources, the International Energy
Star Program encourages the following product features. Oki Data confirms this printer
satisfies the requirements for this program.
Low Power Mode Feature
This product has a power-saving feature, which switches the machine to low power mode
automatically if the machine is on and not operated for a certain period of time. In this mode

1.3 Power Saver Modes
This printer is equipped with a low power mode and a sleep mode to reduce power
consumption when it is left idle.
When no print data is received for 5 minutes, the printer will enter the low power mode.
When no data is received for a further 10 minutes (a total of 15 minutes lapse (default
settings) since the last received data), it will enter sleep mode. You can specify whether the
printer goes into low power mode or sleep mode. The time ranges to specify for the pr inter
to go into low power mode or sleep mode are 5 to 60 minutes respectively. Consumption of
power during the sleep mode is 10 W or less and the time required to exit from the sleep
mode to a print-ready status is about 10 seconds.
Note
• You can also enable either the low power mode or sleep mode.
• Both low power mode and sleep mode cannot be disabled at the same time.
• For details on low power/sleep mode and the procedure to change the settings, refer to “Example:
Changing the Low Power/Sleep Mode Settings” (P.55).
• The sleep mode setting has precedence when both the low power mode and sleep mode are enabled.
For example, when the sleep mode and low power mode time have been set to 15 minutes and 45
minutes respectively, the printer will go into sleep mode after no data has been received for 15 minutes.
It will continue to remain in sleep mode and will not go into low power mode after a further 30 minutes.
