Power Saver Mode
<Log In/Out> button
The machine is equipped with the Power Saver mode that reduces the power consumption
by saving the electricity to the machine when no copy or print data is received for a specified
time.

When you press the <Power Saver> button or do not use the machine for a specified period
of time, the machine
When time exceeds the time specified in the Low Power mode, the machine then enters the

Low Power Mode
The Low Power mode reduces the power to the control panel and the fusing unit.
Note• While the machine is in the Low Power mode, the power supply to the fusing unit is also reduced.
Sleep Mode
The Sleep mode reduces the power to the machine even more than the Low Power mode.
It takes longer time than the Low Power mode to deactivate the Sleep mode and enable to
use the machine.
Changing the Interval for Entering Power Saver Mode

2 Paper and Other Media
Print Media Guidelines
Print media is paper, labels, envelopes, and coated paper among others. Your machine
provides high-quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print
media for your machine helps avoid printing troubles.
This section describes selecting print media, caring for print media, and loading the print
media in the paper trays.
Paper
For the best print quality in color, use 75 gsm xerographic, grain long paper. For the best
print quality in black and white, use 90 gsm xerographic, grain long paper. It is recommended
that you try a sample first before buying large quantities of any print media.
When loading paper, identify the recommended print side on the paper package, and load
the paper ac

The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. It is recommended
that you follow these guidelines when evaluating new paper stock.

Weight

60 gsm may not feed properl

Curl

is exposed to high temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped, even in the paper tray, can
contribute to paper curling prior to printing and cause feeding problems regardless of
humidity. When printing on curled paper, straighten the paper and then insert it into the
Tray 5.
Smoothness
The degree of paper smoothness directly affects print quality. If the paper is too rough, the
toner does not fuse to the paper properly, result
smooth, it can cause paper feeding problems. Smoothness between 150 and 250 Sheffield
points produces the best print quality.

Selecting Preprinted Media and Letterhead
When selecting preprinted media and letterhead paper for the machine.

• Use only media and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing
process.
• Select paper that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
• Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

Transparencies
You can load up to 75 sheets of transparencies in the Tray 1 or 5 for a single print job. It is
recommended that you try a sample first before buying large quantities of any print media.

Print Media Guidelines
• Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Do not use regular
transparencies. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 205°C without
melting, discoloring, offsetting or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.
• B
efore loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
• Non-white transparencies are not supported with the machine.
Selecting Transparencies
The machine can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print
quality and durability depend on the transparency used. It is recommended that you try a
sample first before buying large quantities of any print media.
The paper type setting for the Tray 5 should be set to [Transparency] to help prevent jams.
(See "Changing

compatible with laser printers that reach temperatures
transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring,
offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
Note• For the Tray 1, setting paper size is not required. The Tray 1 detects the paper size automatically. For
Envelopes
Depending on the choice of envelopes, it is possible to expect variable levels of light
wrinkling. It is recommended that you try a sample first before buying large quantities of any
print media. See "Loading Paper" (P.41) for instructions on loading an envelope.

100% cotton content must not exceed 90 gsm weight.
• Use only freshly unpacked, undamaged envelopes.
• Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205°C
without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the
envelopes
you are considering, check with the envelope supplier.
• Adjust the guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
• To load envelope in the Tray 5, insert the envelopes with the flaps closed and the shortedge of the envelopes facing into
the machine. The print side must be facing down.
• See "Loading an Envelope in Tray 5 (Bypass Tray)" (P.46) for instructions on loading an
envelope.
• Use one envelope size during a print job.

If you set paper source on the [Paper/Output] tab to [Paper Tray] in the PCL print
screen when printing, the machine automatically selects the paper tray according to the size
and orientation of the document to be printed. This is called the Automatic Tray Selection.
When copying, selecting [Auto Select] for [Paper Supply] enables automatic tray selection.
If the machine detects two or more corresponding trays for
the automatic tray selection, the
machine selects the tray with the highest priority specified in [Paper Type Priority] among
the trays set under [Paper Type]. Trays whose [Paper Type Priority] setting is set to [Auto
Paper Off] are ignored in automatic tray selection. Also, if the [Paper Type Priority] settings
are identical, the tray priority is determined by [Paper Tray Priority].
Note• Some trays may not be selected in automatic tray selection depending on the setting of that tray for
[Auto Paper Select]. For more information, refer to "Change Settings" (P.135).
• Tray 5 cannot be selected in automatic tray selection.
• When the paper runs out during copying or printing, select a tray
orientation, and the machine continues copying or printing (Auto Tray Switching feature). The
machine cannot switch to a tray containing a paper type for which [Paper Type Priority] is set to [Auto
