ENERGY STAR Program
As an ENERGY STAR Partner, we have determined that this machine model meets the ENERGY STAR Guidelines for energy efficiency.
The ENERGY STAR Guidelines intend to establish an international energy-saving system for developing and introducing energy-efficient office equipment to deal with environmental issues, such as global warming.
When a product meets the ENERGY STAR Guidelines for energy efficiency, the Partner shall place the ENERGY STAR logo onto the machine model.
This product was designed to reduce the environmental impact associated with office
equipment by means of energy-saving features, such as Low-power mode.
• Low Power mode
This product automatically lowers its power consumption 15 minutes after
the last copy or print job has finished. Printing is still possible in Low-power
mode, but if you wish to make copies press the {
Energy Saver
For how to change the default interval that the machine waits before entering
Low-power mode, see “Low Power Shift Time” in the “System Settings”.
} key first.
• Sleep Mode
If the printer features are installed, this product automatically lowers its power consumption even further 120 minutues after the last copy or print job has
finished. Printing is still possible in Sleep mode, but if you wish to make copies press the operation switch first.
For how to change the default interval that the machine waits before entering
Sleep mode, see “Auto Off mode” in the “System Settings”.
• Auto Off mode
If the printer feature is not installed, this product automatically turns itself off
90 minutes after the last copy or print job has finished. If you wish to make
copies when the machine is in Auto Off mode, press the operation switch.
For how to change the default interval that the machine waits before entering
Auto Off mode, see “Auto Off Timer” in the “System Settings”.
• Duplex Priority
To conserve paper resources, the Duplex function (1-Sided → 2-Sided) is se-
lected preferentially when you turn on the operation switch or the main power switch, press the {
Energy Saver
} key, or when the machine resets itself
automatically.
For how to turn Duplex Priority mode on or off, see “Duplex Mode Priority”
in the “Copy Reference”.

3. Installing the Printer Driver
and Software
All of the procedures in this manual assume that you are familiar with general
Windows procedures and practices. If you are not, see the documentation that
comes with Windows for more information.
Auto Run
You can install the printer driver by using Auto Run.
Auto Run is available for the following operating systems:
• Windows 95/98
• Windows 2000
• Windows NT 4.0
If your system is a Macintosh, see information about installing the printer driver.
Before starting this installation, close all documents and applications. In a network environment, confirm that users who are logged on are disconnected.
Be sure to do this when it will create the least interference with other users.
❒
After installing a printer driver, you must restart the computer.
Limitation
❒
If your system is Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0, installing a printer driver by Auto Run requires permission of Administrators. When you install a
printer driver by Auto Run, log on using an account that has Administrators
permission.
Reference
For more information about the software and utilities included on the CDROM, see P.7 “Software and Utilities Included on the CD-ROM”.
Note
❒
Auto Run might not automatically work with certain OS settings. In this case,
manually run "INSTTOOL.EXE" on the root to install printer driver.
❒
If you want to cancel Auto Run, insert the CD-ROM while pressing the
