Power Save Mode and Sleep Mode

Two-phase power conservation enables you to
save on power consumed by the printer.

 Power Save Mode

When your printer is not used for a certain
period of time, it automatically enters the power
save mode to reduce the power consumption.

You can enter the power save mode manually
by pressing the <POWER SAVE> button on the
operator panel.

The <POWER SAVE> button lights up green
while in this mode.

Memo

● By factory default, the time interval before entering the
power save mode is set to 1 minute. For how to change
the time that elapses before the printer enters the power
save mode, refer to “Setting the Time that Elapses Before

Entering the Power Save Mode” P.76.

 When the Printer is Not Used for a

Long Time

When the printer is not used for a long time due
to consecutive holidays or when on vacation, or
when changing or attaching parts in repair or
maintenance, unplug the AC cord.

Memo

● The printer will not be functionally impaired even if left
unplugged for a long time (more than 4 weeks).

 Sleep Mode

Your printer goes from the power save mode to
the sleep mode after a set period of time.

In the sleep mode, the status of your printer is
almost the same as when it is turned off.

The <POWER SAVE> button blinks while in the
sleep mode.

Note

● The printer does not enter the sleep mode if an error
occurs.

Memo

● By factory default, the time interval before entering the
sleep mode is set to 15 minutes. For how to change the
time that elapses before the printer enters the sleep
mode, refer to “Setting the Time that Elapses Before

Entering the Sleep Mode” P.77.

Reference

● For more detailed information on sleep mode, please refer
to the User’s Manual (Advanced).

 Restoring a Printer from the

Installing a Printer Driver
(for Windows)

To complete the network connection with a
Windows computer, rst set IP addresses for the
printer, and then install a printer driver on the
computer.

If there is no DHCP server or BOOTP server on

the network, you need to manually congure the

IP address on the computer or printer.

If your network administrator or internet service

provider species an unique IP address for the

computer and your printer, you need to set the
IP addresses manually.

Note

● You need to complete the network setting of the computer
before this procedure.

2

● To complete this procedure, you must be logged in as an
administrator.

● When setting an IP address manually, ask the network
administrator or your internet service provider which
IP address to use. If the IP address is set wrong, the
network may go down or Internet access may be disabled.

Memo

● If conguring a small network consisting of only your
printer and a computer, set IP addresses as shown below
(according to RFC1918).

For the computer

IP address : 192.168.0.1 - 254

Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0

Default gateway : not used

Installing a Printer Driver
(For Mac OS X)

To complete the network connection with a Mac
operating system, install a printer driver on the
computer and set your printer as a network
printer.

Select the protocol for your network connection
from the following:

● EtherTalk

● Bonjour (Rendezvous for Mac OS X 10.3)

Note

● EtherTalk is not supported in Mac OS X 10.6.

● Disable the anti-virus software before starting this
procedure.

 Using EtherTalk (For Mac OS X

10.5)

When connecting to the network with EtherTalk,
it is necessary to enable EtherTalk and disable
the sleep mode on the printer. After doing that,
install the driver on the computer.

First, enable EtherTalk and disable the

sleep mode on the printer.

1 Ensure that your printer and the

computer are turned on and connected.

● Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or
other deformations. They should also be of the

rectangular ap type, with glue that remains

intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing
used in this type of printer. Window envelopes are
not suitable.

● Labels should also be of the type recommended
for use in copiers and laser printers, in which the
base carrier page is entirely covered by labels.
Other types of label stock may damage the printer
due to the labels peeling off during the printing
process.

CAUTION

Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink
must not offset when exposed to the high fuser
temperatures used in the printing process.

Storing Paper

Store paper under the following conditions to
maintain quality.

● Inside a cabinet or other dry and dark place

● On a at surface

Supported Paper

● Temperature: 20°C

● Humidity: 50% RH (relative humidity)

Do not store in the following locations.

● Directly on the oor

● In direct sunlight

● Near the inside of an exterior wall

● On an uneven surface

● Where static electricity may be generated

● In places that are excessively hot or where
temperature rapidly changes

● Near a copier, air conditioner, heater, or duct

Note

● Do not unwrap the paper until you are ready to use the
paper.

● Do not leave paper unwrapped for a long period. Doing
so may result in paper handling and print quality issues.

● Depending on a media you use, usage conditions and a
storing conditions, a decrease in paper quality or curling
of the paper may occur.
