Reduces toner consumption by approximately 10%.

Power save modes (page 25)

The copier has two power save modes of operation: preheat mode and auto power shut-off
mode.

●

4

Special functions

●

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

Preheat mode

When the copier enters the preheat mode, the power save ( ) indicator will light up and
other indicators will remain on or off as before. In this condition, the fuser in the copier is
maintained at a lower heat level, thereby saving power. To copy from the preheat mode,
make desired copier selections and press the print ( ) key using the normal copying
procedure.

Auto power shut-off mode

When the copier enters the auto power shut-off mode, the power save ( ) indicator will
light up and other indicators will go out. The auto power shut-off mode saves more power
than the preheat mode but requires a longer time before starting copying. To copy from the
auto power shut-off mode, press the print ( ) key. Then make desired copier selections
and press the print ( ) key using the normal copying procedure.

Auto clear (page 25)

The copier returns to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the last copy is made.

This chapter describes misfeed removal and troubleshooting.

COPIER TROUBLE?

MISFEED REMOVAL

When the misfeed ( ) indicator blinks or blinks in the display, the copier will stop because
of a misfeed.
If a misfeed occurs when using the SPF, a number may appear in the display after a minus
sign. This indicates the number of the originals that must be returned to the document feeder
tray after a misfeed. Return the required number of originals. Then this number will disappear
when copying is resumed or the clear ( ) key is pressed.
When the SPF misfeeds an original sheet, the copier will stop and the SPF misfeed ( ) indicator
will blink, while the misfeed ( ) indicator will remain off. For a misfeed of originals in the SPF,
see “E Misfeed in the SPF” on page 37.

Open the side cover while pressing the side cover open button.

1

Check the misfeed location. Remove the misfed paper following the instructions for

2

each location in the illustration below.
If blinks in the display, proceed to “A Misfeed in the paper feed area”. (p. 34)

If the misfed paper is seen from
this side, proceed to “C Misfeed
in the transport area”. (p. 35)
