Energy Saving Control Function

To reduce energy consumption while in a waiting state, the device comes equipped with an energy saving control function for switching to a Sleep Mode where power consumption is automatically reduced to a minimum after a certain amount of time elapses since the device was last used. For details, refer to Energy Saver Function on page 2-21.

Sleep

The device automatically enters Sleep when 1 minute has passed since the device was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before Sleep is activated may be lengthened. For more information, refer to Sleep Timer (Sleep timer timeout time) section.

There are two sleep modes: Quick Recovery and Energy Saver. The default setting is Energy Saver mode.

Quick Recovery Mode

The recovery from the sleep mode is faster than when using Energy Saver Mode. The machine automatically recovers and prints when a job is detected.

Energy Saver Mode

Makes it possible to reduce energy consumption even further than with Quick Recovery Mode.

Power Off Timer

If the printer is not used while in sleep mode, the power automatically turns off. The Power Off Timer is used to set the time until the power turns off. The factory setting for the time until the power turns off is 1 hour.

Duplex Printing

This printer includes duplex printing as a standard function. For example, by printing two single-sided originals onto a single sheet of paper as a duplex printing, it is possible to lower the amount of paper used.

Printing in duplex mode reduces paper consumption and contributes to the conservation of forest resources. Duplex mode also reduces the amount of paper that must be purchased, and thereby reduces cost. It is recommended that machines capable of duplex printing be set to use duplex mode by default.

Resource Saving - Paper

For the preservation and sustainable use of forest resources, it is recommended that recycled as well as virgin paper certified under environmental stewardship initiatives or carrying recognised ecolabels, which meet EN 12281:2002*1 or an equivalent quality standard, be used.

This machine also supports printing on 64 g/m2 paper. Using such paper containing less raw materials can lead to further saving of forest resources.

*1: EN12281:2002 "Printing and business paper - Requirements for copy paper for dry toner imaging processes"

Your sales or service representative can provide information about recommended paper types.

Environmental benefits of "Power Management"

To reduce power consumption when idle, this machine is equipped with a power management function that automatically activates energy-saving mode when the machine is idle for a certain period of time. Although it takes the machine a slight amount of time to return to READY mode when in energy-saving mode, a significant reduction in energy consumption is possible.

It is recommended that the machine be used with the activation time for energy-saving mode set to the default setting.

Environment

The service environmental conditions are as follows:

• Temperature: 50 to 90.5 °F (10 to 32.5 °C)

• Humidity: 15 to 80 %

However, adverse environmental conditions may affect the image quality. Avoid the following locations when selecting a site for the machine.

• Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to direct sunlight.

• Avoid locations with vibrations.

• Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.

• Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.

• Avoid poorly ventilated locations.

If the floor is delicate against casters, when this machine is moved after installation, the floor material may be damaged.

During printing, some ozone is released, but the amount does not cause any ill effect to one’s health. If, however, the machine is used over a long period of time in a poorly ventilated room or when printing an extremely large number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant. To maintain the appropriate environment for print work, it is suggested that the room be properly ventilated.

Cautions when Handling Consumables

Do not attempt to incinerate parts which contain toner. Dangerous sparks may cause burns.

Keep parts which contain toner out of the reach of children.

If toner happens to spill from parts which contain toner, avoid inhalation and ingestion, as well as contact with your eyes and skin.

• If you do happen to inhale toner, move to a place with fresh air and gargle thoroughly with a large amount of water. If coughing develops, contact a physician.

• If you do happen to ingest toner, rinse your mouth out with water and drink 1 or 2 cups of water to dilute the contents of your stomach. If necessary, contact a physician.

• If you do happen to get toner in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water. If there is any remaining tenderness, contact a physician.

• If toner does happen to get on your skin, wash with soap and water.

Do not attempt to force open or destroy parts which contain toner.

Other precautions

Preparation before Use

Energy Saver Function

Sleep

When the set time (factory setting is 1 minute) elapses after the printer is last used, the printer automatically enters sleep mode. The message display backlight and lights turn off to minimize power consumption. This status is referred to as Sleep.

There are two sleep modes: Quick Recovery and Energy Saver. The default setting is Energy Saver mode.

Quick Recovery Mode

The recovery from the sleep mode is faster than when using Energy Saver mode.

The message display goes off when sleep mode is entered and the Ready indicator flashes.

The machine recovers quickly when [OK] is pressed. The machine also automatically recovers and prints when a job is detected.

If print data is received during Sleep, the print job is performed while the message display remains unlit.

To use the printer, press [OK]. The printer will be ready to use within 15 seconds (FS-2100D/FS-2100DN/FS-4100DN), 20 seconds (FS-4200DN), or 25 seconds (FS-4300DN).

Note that ambient environmental conditions, such as ventilation, may cause the machine to respond more slowly.

For more information about configuring settings, refer to Sleep Timer (Sleep timer timeout time) on page 4-90.

Energy Saver Mode

This mode reduces power consumption even more than quick recovery mode, and allows Sleep mode to be set separately for each function.

IMPORTANT Cautions when setting the Energy Saver mode

• The data stored on the RAM disc is deleted when the machine goes into Energy Saver mode.

• The machine will not recover from sleep mode if printing data is received from a computer via a USB cable. (FS-2100D will recover.)

• An ID card is not recognized when in Energy Saver mode.

To use the printer, press [OK]. The time required for the printer to wake up from sleep mode and resume normal operation will be longer than for quick recovery mode.

For more information on Energy Saver settings, refer to Sleep Level Set. (Sleep level setting) on page 4-88.

Power Off Timer

IMPORTANT You can set the power off rule and power off timer. For details, refer to Power Off Rule (Power Off Rule setting) on page 4-90 and Power Off Timer (Power off timer settings) on page 4-91.

In case of not using the printer for an extended period of time

CAUTION If this printer will be left unused for an extended period (e.g. overnight), turn it off at the power

switch. If the printer will not be used for an even longer period of time (e.g. vacation), remove the power plug from the outlet as a safety precaution.

CAUTION Remove paper from the cassettes and seal it in the paper storage bag to protect it from humidity.

down and the paper is not folded, curled, or damaged.

IMPORTANT Do not load paper above the load limits located on the paper width guide.

Before loading the paper, be sure that it is not curled or folded. Paper that is curled or folded may cause paper jams.

Ensure that the loaded paper does not exceed the load limit (see the illustration on the left).

Set the stack of paper so that it is under the clips (see the illustration on the left).

The paper length and width guides must be adjusted to the paper size. Loading the paper without adjusting these guides may cause skewed feeding and paper jams.

Be sure that the paper length and width guides rest securely against the paper. If there is a gap, readjust the guides to fit the paper.

in as far as it will go.

Note If the machine will not be used for a prolonged period,

protect all paper from humidity by removing it from the cassettes and sealing it in the paper storage bag.
