The key operator code is initially set to "00000" at the factory.

PURPOSE OF THE KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS

The key operator programs are used by the key operator (administrator of the machine) to customize certain features of the machine to better meet the needs of users. This guide explains key operator programs that are common to all functions of the multifunction system (copy function, fax function, printer function, and network scanner function), as well as programs that are specific to the copy function, printer function, and network scanner function. Programs that are specific to the fax function are explained in the following manual:

• Fax function ............."AR-FX7 Operation manual" (Chapter 8)

In order to access the key operator programs, the key operator code must be entered.

PROGRAMMING A KEY OPERATOR CODE

The key operator code is a 5-digit number that must be entered in order to access the key operator programs. The key operator (administrator of the machine) should change the default key operator code that was set at the factory to a new 5-digit number. Be sure to remember the new key operator code, as it must be entered each time the key operator programs are subsequently used. (Only one key operator code can be programmed.) To change the key operator code, see "USING THE KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS" on the following page.

The key operator code is initially set to "00000" at the factory.

"ENERGY SAVE" provides the following four programs to reduce your power costs. From an environmental perspective, this also helps conserve natural resources and reduce pollution.

● AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF

● AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF TIMER

● PREHEAT MODE SETTING

● TONER SAVE MODE

AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF

If the machine is not used for the amount of time set in "AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF TIMER", AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF will activate and switch the machine to a standby state that conserves the maximum amount of energy. This program can be used to prevent AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF from operating. When this is done, the "AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF TIMER" setting is disabled. Use this program when circumstances require that AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF be disabled. This program is initially enabled (factory default setting).

PREHEAT MODE SETTING

If the printer is not used for the length of time set with this program after printing is finished, it will enter preheat mode. This function reduces your power costs, and at the same time helps conserve natural resources and reduce pollution. Select the most suitable setting to match your pattern of use of the printer. The time can be set to as long as 240 minutes in increments of one minute. (Preheat mode cannot be disabled.) The factory default setting is "15" (min.).

TONER SAVE MODE

The toner save mode will reduce toner consumption by approximately 10% in the automatic, text, and text/photo exposure modes. Copies will be lighter but still adequate for general use. Selection of this mode has no effect on the photo and super photo modes. This program is initially disabled (factory default setting).

Caution

shut-off feature, we suggest that you first try lengthening the time set in "AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF TIMER" In most cases a suitable timer setting will allow work to proceed with minimal delay and still enable you to enjoy the benefits of power conservation.

AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF TIMER

This program is used to set the amount of time after which "AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF" activates when the machine is not used. This function allows you to reduce power costs, and at the same time helps conserve natural resources and reduce pollution. The time can be set to as long as 240 minutes in increments of one minute. The factory default setting is "60" (min.).

Rather than disabling the auto power

Note

• Select a suitable time according to your pattern of use of the machine.

• If "AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF" is disabled, the time setting is also disabled.
