TIMER SETTINGS

The programs of this category are used to set the timers for some functions. These programs can be selected by pressing the “TIMER SETTINGS” key and then selecting the desired program key.

Sleep Mode Setting

The sleep mode is a function to turn off the power to the fusing unit automatically once a programmed length of time has elapsed without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or power is turned on. This function lowers the user’s electricity bill, reduces waste of natural resources, and cuts down on environmental pollution. The programmed time is set to 60 minutes for this function on completion of shipment from the factory. The default time can be changed optionally within the prescribed range of time. We suggest you set the most appropriate time according to your usage pattern. Use this program to set the time interval. The interval can be set in 1 minute increments between 10 and 240 minutes. When the “SLEEP MODE SETTING” key is pressed, the following display will appear.

PRINTER KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS

The following programs can be selected only if an optional power supply kit and an optional printer controller have been installed. Select “PRINTER” after entering the key operator code number. Then select the desired program.

Enable Bypass-Tray Size Detection

This program is used to enable or disable paper size detection of the bypass tray in the print mode. This setting does not affect the paper size detection in the copy mode.

●

When the check mark is on, automatic size detection is enabled for the bypass tray and the tray is included as an alternative for auto tray switching for the print mode.

●

When the check mark is off, the bypass is not included as an alternative for automatic tray switching and the paper in the bypass tray is always defined as special paper.

To enable paper size detection of the bypass tray in the print mode, press the “ENABLE BYPASS-TRAY SIZE DETECTION” box to display a check mark. To disable paper size detection, press the checked box again to clear the check mark.

NOTE:

If images larger than the paper in the bypass tray are printed, the toner image outside the paper area will be wasted and will tend to dirty some machine parts. After disabling the size detection, be careful to print images that are the same size or smaller than the paper used.

Enable Bypass-Tray Type Detection

This program is used to ensure that the paper type selected for copying and printing are the same.

●

When the check mark is on, the paper types selected for copying and printing will be compared. These must be the same for automatic paper feeding to function.

●

When the check mark is off, the settings for copier and printer can be different and will not be compared. When the settings are different, a selection from the printer driver will override any selection made at the copier. When printing with the check mark off, make sure to select the correct paper type. Selecting a wrong paper type might cause a misfeed or other malfunction.

To enable paper type detection of the paper tray, press the check box of “ENABLE BYPASS- TRAY TYPE DETECTION” to display a check mark. To disable it, press the checked box again to clear the check mark.
