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 120 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”.

Using the Sample Print

Use this function to print only one printing of a multiple print job. The other printings are saved in the ma­chine. The saved job can be printed from the machine's operation panel. You can also delete the saved job, change quantity of sets and move to "Document Server" function.
Note
If the application has a collate op­tion, confirm that it is not selected before sending a print job. By de­fault, sample print jobs are auto­matically collated by the printer driver. If the collate option is se­lected from the application print dialog box, more copy printings than intended may be printed.
You can identify the file you want to print by the User IDs and the time when the job was stored.
