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.
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

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.

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.

usable. (for SP 4520DN)
The printer can print jobs from computers.

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. (for SP 4510DN)
• "Administrator Tools", Operating Instructions. (for SP 4520DN)
• 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].
