ENERGY SAVE FUNCTIONS
This product has the following two energy save functions that conform to the Energy Star guidelines to help conserve
natural resources and reduce environmental pollution.
Preheat Mode (Low power mode)
Preheat mode automatically lowers the temperature of the fusing unit and thereby reduces power consumption if the
machine remains in the standby state for the interval of time set in "Preheat Mode Setting" in the system settings
(administrator).
This keeps the fusing unit at a lower temperature and reduces power consumption while the machine is on standby.
The machine automatically wakes up and returns to normal operation when a print job is received, a key is pressed on
the operation panel, or an original is placed.
Auto power shut-off mode (Sleep mode)
Auto power shut-off mode automatically shuts off power to the display and the fusing unit if the machine remains in the
standby state for the interval of time set in "Auto Power Shut-Off Timer" in the system settings (administrator). This
mode provides the lowest level of power consumption. Considerably more power is saved than in preheat mode,
however, the wakeup time is longer. This mode can be disabled in the system settings (administrator).
The machine automatically wakes up and resumes normal operation when a print job is received or when the blinking
[POWER SAVE] key
(
)
is pressed.
[POWER SAVE] KEY
Press the [POWER SAVE] key
(
)
to put the machine in auto power shut-off mode or wake it up from auto power
shut-off mode. The [POWER SAVE] key
(
)
has an indicator that indicates whether or not the machine is in auto power
shut-off mode.
When the [POWER SAVE]
key (
) indicator is off in the
standby state
The machine is ready to be used.
If the [POWER SAVE] key (
) is pressed when the indicator is off, the indicator will blink
and the machine will enter auto power shut-off mode after a brief interval.
When the [POWER SAVE]
key (
) indicator is blinking
The machine is in auto power shut-off mode.
If the [POWER SAVE] key (
) is pressed when the indicator is blinking, the indicator will
turn off and the machine will return to the ready state after a brief interval.
