2.11.4 Automatic Power OFF
The user can automatically turn off the power to the MCR if a given period of time elapses. The
MCR power is basically turned on when MCROpen function is carried out, and turned off when
MCRClose function is carried out. However, MCRSetAutoPowerOff function turns the MCR
power to off after elapse of a given time period even if MCRClose function is not carried out
(The MCR cannot be used while the power is off). To resume the MCR power again from the
Automatic Power OFF condition and activate the MCR, use MCRResume function.
