Low Power Mode

Auto Sleep

We have determined as a participating company in the International Energy Star Program that
this product is compliant with the standards laid out in the International Energy Star Program.

About the International Energy Star Program

International Energy Star Program has as its basic goals the promotion of efficient energy use
and the reduction of the environmental pollution that accompanies energy consumption by
promoting the manufacture and sale of products that fulfill program standards.

International Energy Star Program standards require that multifunction machines come
equipped with a low power Mode where printer and fax functions remain in a waiting state but
energy consumption is still reduced after a certain amount of time elapses since the machine
was last used, as well as a sleep mode where printer and fax functions remain in a waiting state
but power consumption is still reduced to a minimum when there is no activity with the machine
within a set amount of time. This product is equipped with the following features as a result of its
compliance with International Energy Star Program standards.

The machine automatically enters low power mode when 5 minutes have passed since the
machine was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before low power Mode
is activated may be lengthened. See Low Power Mode for more information.

The machine automatically enters sleep mode when 30 minutes have passed since the machine
entered low power mode. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before sleep mode is
activated may be lengthened. For more information see Auto Sleep.

Paper Recycling

The Energy Star Program encourages the use of environmentally friendly recycled paper. Your
sales or service representative can provide information about recommended media types.

3 Preparations

Loading Paper

Paper can either be loaded into the cassette or set on the MP tray. For details on the media types
that can be used, refer to the Advanced Operation Guide.

Notes • After taking new paper out of its packaging, be

sure to fan through them a few times to separate
the sheets before loading the paper into a
cassette or setting it on the MP tray.

• If you are using paper that has been folded or is
curled at all, straighten it out before loading the
paper into a cassette or setting it on the MP tray.
Failure to do so may result in a paper jam.

• If you will not be using the machine for a
prolonged period of time, remove all paper from
the cassette(s) and seal in its original packaging in order to protect it against moisture.

Important • If you ever use paper that has already been copied or printed onto, be sure not to use paper

that still has staples or clips attached to it. Doing so may result in lowered copying or printing
quality or even damage to the machine.

Loading Paper Into a Cassette

Standard paper (60 to 90 g/m²), thick paper (90 to 105 g/m²), recycled paper, or color paper can be
loaded into each cassette. Up to 250 sheets of standard paper (80 g/m²) can be loaded into each
cassette at one time.

The sizes of paper that can be loaded into the cassettes are: A4, A5R, ISO B5, JIS B5, Folio, 16K,

1/2 × 14" (Legal), 8 1/2 × 11" (Letter), Executive, and 8 1/2 × 13" (Oficio II).

Notes • Always adjust the paper stopper and paper width

guides before loading paper into the cassette.
Failure to do so may result in skewed paper feed
and/or a paper jam.

• Make sure that the paper is set securely against
the paper stopper and the paper width guides. If
there is any gap between the paper and the
stopper or guides, readjust the paper stopper
and/or the paper width guides, as appropriate.

• Make sure to face the side to be printed
downward.

• Be sure to load paper so that it is not folded or curled, etc.

• Do not load more paper than indicated by the lines located on the width guides.

up or transport the machine.

Expansion Memory

It is possible to increase the memory in your machine.
Adding memory will increase the number of originals
that can be scanned at one time. An additional 64 MB,
128 MB, or 256 MB is effective when copying from
originals with photos, due to their normally low
compression ratio.

5-4

To expand memory up to 320 MB, remove the 32 MB
DIMM that is installed at the factory and install a 256
MB DIMM.

Note The expansion memory should be installed only by your dealer. We shall not be liable for any

damages caused by improper installation of expansion memory.
