Turning On/Off the Power

Turning On/Off the Power

This section explains how to turn on/off the printer.

Turing On the Power

1.Make sure the power cord is firmly plugged into the wall outlet.

2.Push the main power switch.

DSJ031

The power indicator turns on.

After you switch the main power on, a screen may appear to indicate that the printer is initializing. Do not switch the power off during this process. Initialization takes about three minutes.

Turning Off the Power

When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord. Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.

Do not press and hold the main power switch when turning off the printer. Doing so shuts down the printer forcefully and may damage the hard disk and the SDRAM module, causing a malfunction of the printer.

Before unplugging the power cord plug, turn off the power switch and make sure the power switch indicator turns off. Not doing so may result in damage to the hard disk or memory, leading to a malfunction.

17

1. Getting Started

• Do not turn off the power while the printer is in operation.

1. Push the main power switch.

DSJ031

The main power is turned off automatically when the shutdown process is complete.

If the shutdown process is not complete within the period of time displayed on the screen, contact your service representative.

Saving Energy

This printer has the following energy saving functions:

Fusing Unit Off Mode

If you do not use the printer for a certain period after an operation, the display will turn off and the printer goes into Fusing Unit Off mode. The printer uses less electricity in Fusing Unit Off mode.

When the printer is in Fusing Unit Off mode, the display is on but the fusing unit heater is off to save energy. In this mode, you can change the printer settings on the control panel. However, the printer must exit this mode to print.

You can change the amount of time that the printer waits before switching to Fusing Unit Off mode under [Fusing Unit Off Mode Timer]. For details, see:

• "System", Operating Instructions.

To exit Fusing Unit Off mode, do one of the following:

Start print jobs

Display the [Maintenance] screen on the control panel

Operate the control panel when [Exit Fusing Unit Off Mode] is set to [On Operating Control Panel]

Start print jobs

Sleep mode

If the printer remains inactive for a specified period after entering Fusing Unit Off mode, it enters Sleep mode to further reduce the power consumption. The printer also enters Sleep mode when:

18

Turning On/Off the Power

The printer waits before entering Sleep mode is set in [Sleep Mode Timer]

It is the day and time specified in [Weekly Timer]

The printer can print jobs from computers.

You can change the amount of time that the printer waits before switching to Sleep mode. For details about setting [Sleep Mode Timer] and [Weekly Timer], see:

• "System", Operating Instructions.

To exit Sleep mode, do one of the following:

Press one of the keys on the control panel

Start print jobs

ECO Night Sensor

ECO Night Sensor can detect darkness and automatically turn off this product's power.

If ECO Night Sensor is enabled and detects darkness in a room after the lights are turned off, the sensor automatically turns the power off and reduces the power consumption of this product to 1W or less.

The default settings of ECO Night Sensor are enabled. To change the settings, see:

"System", Operating Instructions.

The ECO Night Sensor function's factory default is [Auto Power Off Only]. If the printer is located in an environment where the ambient light level is low (such as in a hallway or a location with motion sensor lighting), it is advisable that you either keep this function disabled or adjust its sensitivity.

You can configure the printer to automatically turn its power on when it detects an increase in the ambient light level. The printer may also react to daylight and turn its power on. If the printer is located in an environment where it is exposed to direct sunlight, it is advisable that you do not change the factory default configuration and only enable [Auto Power Off Only].

The energy saving functions will not activate when:

Communicating with external devices

The hard disk is active

A warning message is displayed

The service call message is displayed

Paper is jammed

The printer's covers are opened

Toner is being replenished

Configuring the printer

To perform the operations from Web Image Monitor, TCP/IP is required. After the printer is configured to use TCP/IP, operations from Web Image Monitor become available.

Recommended Web browser

Windows:

Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher Firefox 10 and 15 or higher Google Chrome 19 or higher

Mac OS:

Safari 3.0 or higher

Firefox 10 and 15 or higher Google Chrome 19 or higher

Web Image Monitor supports screen reader software. We recommend JAWS 7.0 or a later version.

Display and operation problems may occur if you do not enable JavaScript and cookies, or if you are using a non-recommended Web browser.

If you are using a proxy server, change the Web browser settings. Contact your administrator for information about the settings.

We recommend using Web Image Monitor in the same network.

22

Using Web Image Monitor

If the printer is firewall-protected, it cannot be accessed from computers outside the firewall.

If the printer under DHCP is used, the IP address may be changed automatically by the DHCP server settings. Enable DDNS setting on the printer, and then connect using the printer's host name.

Alternatively, set a static IP address to the DHCP server.

If the HTTP port is disabled, a connection to the printer using the printer's URL cannot be established. SSL settings must be enabled on this printer. For details, contact your network administrator.

If Firefox is used, fonts and colors may be different, or tables may not appear properly configured.

When using a host name under Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008/2008 R2/2012/2012 R2 with IPv6 protocol, perform host name resolution using an external DNS server. The host file cannot be used.

To use JAWS 7.0 under Web Image Monitor, you must be running Windows and Internet Explorer 6.0 or a later version.

If you are using Internet Explorer 8.0 or higher, downloading will be slower than with other browsers. To download faster with Internet Explorer 8.0 or higher, open the browser's [Internet Options] menu and register the printer's URL as a trusted site, and then disable SmartScreen filter for trusted sites. For details about these settings, see the Internet Explorer Help files.

You can access Web Image Monitor more quickly by registering the printer's URL as a bookmark. Note that the URL you register must be the URL of the top page, which is the page that appears before login. If you register the URL of a page that appears after login, Web Image Monitor will not open properly from the bookmark.

If user authentication is activated, you must enter your login user name and password to use Web Image Monitor. For Details, see page 23 "Displaying the top page".

When you configure settings using Web Image Monitor, do not log in from the control panel. The settings you have configured using Web Image Monitor may become invalid.

Displaying the top page

There are two modes available with Web Image Monitor: guest mode and administrator mode. Displayed items may differ depending on the printer type.

Guest mode

This mode requires no login to enter.

In the guest mode, the printer status, settings, and print job status can be viewed, but the printer settings cannot be changed.

Administrator mode

This mode requires an administrator login to enter.

In the administrator mode, you can configure various printer settings.

23

1. Getting Started
