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”

Paralle l cable requirement s
Connect the machine to the host computer using a parallel port. This machine
does not provide the parallel cable to connect the machine to the host computer.
The machine's parallel interface is a standard bi-directional interface. It requires
a standard 36-pin parallel cable compliant with IEEE 1284 and a parallel port
available on the host computer.
Note
❒
2
Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 3 meters (10 feet).
Connecting the Machine
