Turning On/Off the Power

This section explains how to turn on/off the printer.

Turning On the Power

1. Make sure the power cord is firmly plugged into the wall outlet.
2. Push the main power switch.
The power indicator turns on.
• After you switch the main power on, a screen may appear to indicate that the printer is initializing. Do not switch the power off during this process. Initialization takes about three minutes.

Turning Off the Power

• When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord. Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not press and hold the main power switch when turning off the printer. Doing so shuts down the printer forcefully and may damage the hard disk causing a malfunction of the printer.
• Before unplugging the power cord plug, turn off the power switch and make sure the power switch indicator turns off. Not doing so may result in damage to the hard disk or memory, leading to a malfunction.
• Do not turn off the power while the printer is in operation.

The main power is turned off automatically when the shutdown process is complete.
If the shutdown process is not complete within the period of time displayed on the screen, contact your service representative.

Saving Energy

This printer has the following energy saving functions:
Sleep mode
If the printer remains inactive for a specified period after entering Fusing Unit Off mode, it enters Sleep mode to further reduce the power consumption. The printer also enters Sleep mode when:
• The printer waits before entering Sleep mode is set in [Sleep Mode Timer]
• It is the day and time specified in [Weekly Timer]
When the printer is in Sleep mode, only the [Energy Saver] key and the [Check Status] key are usable. (for SP C342DN)
The printer can print jobs from computers.
You can change the amount of time that the printer waits before switching to Sleep mode.
For details about setting [Sleep Mode Timer] and [Weekly Timer], see:
• "System (SP C340DN)", Operating Instructions.
• "Timer Settings (SP C342DN)", Operating Instructions.
To exit Sleep mode, do one of the following:
• Press one of the keys on the control panel (for SP C340DN)
• Press the [Energy Saver] key or [Check Status] key (for SP C342DN)
• Start print jobs
ECO Night Sensor
ECO Night Sensor can detect darkness and automatically turn off this product's power.
27
1. Getting Started
If ECO Night Sensor is enabled and detects darkness in a room after the lights are turned off, the sensor automatically turns the power off and reduces the power consumption of this product to 1W or less.
The default settings of ECO Night Sensor are enabled.
To change the settings, see:
• "System (SP C340DN)", Operating Instructions.
• "Administrator Tools (SP C342DN)", Operating Instructions.
• The ECO Night Sensor function's factory default is [Auto Power Off Only]. If the printer is located in an environment where the ambient light level is low (such as in a hallway or a location with motion sensor lighting), it is advisable that you either keep this function disabled or adjust its sensitivity.
• You can configure the printer to automatically turn its power on when it detects an increase in the ambient light level. The printer may also react to daylight and turn its power on. If the printer is located in an environment where it is exposed to direct sunlight, it is advisable that you do not change the factory default configuration and only enable [Auto Power Off Only].
