TURNING ON THE POWER

This section describes how to turn on/off the machine's power and how to restart the machine.

Operate two power switches: the main power switch inside the front cover, located in the lower left corner, and the [Power] button on the operation panel.

When a finisher (large stacker) or saddle stitch finisher (large stacker) is installed on the MX-5050N/MX-5070N/MX-6050N/ MX-6070N, open the front cover on the finisher (large stacker), or the front upper cover on the saddle stitch finisher (large stacker), before opening the front cover of the machine.

Turning on the power

•Turn the main power switch to the " " position.

•When the main power indicator lights in green, press the [Power] button.

Turning off the power

Turn off the power by pressing the [Power] button, then turn the main power switch to the "" position.

Restart the machine

Turn off the power by pressing the [Power] button and then press it again to turn on the power.

Main power indicator [Power] button

The main power switch

•When turning off the main power switch, press the [Power] button on the operation panel and then turn the main power

switch to the " " position.

In a sudden case of main power outage, turn the power for the machine back on and then turn it off in the correct order. If the machine is left for a long time with the main power having been turned off prior to the [Power] button being turned off, abnormal noises, degraded image quality or other problems may result.

•Turn off both the [Power] button and the main power switch and unplug the power cord if you suspect a machine failure, if there is a bad thunderstorm nearby, or when you are moving the machine.

•When using the fax or Internet fax function, always keep the main power switch in the " " position.

• In order for some settings to take effect, the machine must be restarted. In some states of the machine, restarting with the [Power] button may not make the settings take effect. In this case, turn off the main power switch and then turn it on again.

ECO FUNCTIONS OF THE MACHINE

These functions help save power consumption by managing operations of sections prone to high power consumption. The machine provides two power-saving modes.

Function	Description	Page
AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF	If no operations take place, this mode will turn off the power to the operation	1-27
MODE	panel and the fusing unit, and makes the machine wait in the lowest power
	consumption state.
	Although the power-saving rate is higher, the wakeup time is longer.
PREHEAT MODE	This mode lowers the temperature of the fusing unit and makes the machine	1-28
	wait in low power consumption state.
	Compared to Auto Power Shut-Off Timer, the power-saving rate is lower, but
	the wakeup time is shorter.

In addition to these two modes, using the following functions in conjunction helps reduce even more power consumption.

Function	Description	Page
ECO RECOMMENDATION	Shows recommended copy/print settings for copy, document filing reprint,	1-28
FUNCTION DISPLAY	and direct print.
AS SOON AS THE REMOTE JOB	The machine returns from Auto Power Shut-Off and enters Auto Power	1-29
IS FINISHED, ENTER AUTO	Shut-Off mode as soon as printing is completed.
POWER SHUT OFF MODE
ECO SCAN	The machine is operated with the fusing unit turned off for non-printing	1-29
	operations (that do not use the fusing unit) such as fax and image
	transmission.
POWER ON/OFF SCHEDULE	Use this function to set the times for turning the power on and off to reduce	1-30
SETTING	power consumption.

AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF MODE

This mode turns off the power to the operation panel and the fusing unit, and makes the machine wait in the lowest power consumption state.

Auto Power Shut-Off Timer will activate when the set duration of time elapses in waiting status without executing a job. Compared to preheat mode, the power-saving rate is considerably higher but the wakeup time is longer.

The [Power Save] button blinks when the machine is in Auto Power Shut-Off Timer.

Auto Power Shut-Off Timer is also activated by pressing the [Power Save] button while the [Power Save] button is not lit. This mode is cleared when print data is being received, fax data is being output, or when the [Power Save] button is pressed while it is blinking.
