A job that appears in the completed jobs screen as a key can be touched followed by the [Call] key to reprint or resend the job. This is the same [Call] key that appears when the [Detail] key is touched.

TURNING THE POWER ON AND OFF

The machine has two power switches. The main power switch is at the lower left after the front cover (lower) is opened. The other power switch is the [POWER] key ( ) on the operation panel at the top right.

• Before switching off the main power switch, make sure that the DATA indicator for printing and the DATA and LINE indicators for image send are not lit or blinking on the operation panel. Switching off the main power switch or removing the power cord from the outlet while any of the indicators are lit or blinking may damage the hard drive and cause data to be lost.

• Switch off both the [POWER] key ( ) 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 "on" position.

ENERGY SAVE FUNCTIONS

This product has the following two energy save functions that conform to the Energy Star guidelines to help conserve natural resources and reduce environmental pollution.

Preheat Mode (Low power mode)

Preheat mode automatically lowers the temperature of the fusing unit and thereby reduces power consumption if the machine remains in the standby state for the interval of time set in "Preheat Mode Setting" in the system settings (administrator). This keeps the fusing unit at a lower temperature and reduces power consumption while the machine is on standby. The machine automatically wakes up and returns to normal operation when a print job is received, a key is pressed on the operation panel, or an original is placed.

Auto power shut-off mode (Sleep mode)

Auto power shut-off mode automatically shuts off power to the display and the fusing unit if the machine remains in the standby state for the interval of time set in "Auto Power Shut-Off Timer" in the system settings (administrator). This mode provides the lowest level of power consumption. Considerably more power is saved than in preheat mode, however, the wakeup time is longer. This mode can be disabled in the system settings (administrator). The machine automatically wakes up and resumes normal operation when a print job is received or when the blinking [POWER SAVE] key

() is pressed.

[POWER SAVE] KEY

Press the [POWER SAVE] key () to put the machine in auto power shut-off mode or wake it up from auto power shut-off mode. The [POWER SAVE] key shut-off mode.

USER AUTHENTICATION

User authentication restricts the use of the machine to users that have been registered. The functions that each user is allowed to use can be specified, allowing the machine to be customized to meet the needs of your workplace. When the administrator of the machine has enabled user authentication, each user must log in to use the machine. The are different types of user authentication, and each type has a different login method. For more information, see the explanations of the login methods.

• AUTHENTICATION BY USER NUMBER (see below)

• AUTHENTICATION BY LOGIN NAME / PASSWORD (page 20)

AUTHENTICATION BY USER NUMBER

The following procedure is used to log in using a user number received from the administrator of the machine.

User Authentication

When controlled by user number

Enter your user number (5 to 8 digits) with the numeric keys.

Each entered digit will be displayed as " ".

Admin Login

User Authentication

Admin Login

Touch the [OK] key.

After the entered user number is authenticated, the user count screen will appear briefly.

Usage status: used/remaining pages Black-white : 87,654,321/12,345,678 Full color : 87,654,321/12,345,678 2-color : 87,654,321/12,345,678 Single color: 87,654,321/12,345,678

When page limits have been set in "Pages Limit Group List" in the system settings (administrator), the number of pages remaining will appear. (The remaining number of pages that the user can use in each mode (copy, scan, etc.) appears.) The amount of time that this screen appears can be changed using "Message Time Setting" in the system settings (administrator).

When the user number is an 8-digit number, this step is not necessary. (Login takes place automatically after the user number is entered.)

When you have finished using the machine and are ready to log out, press the [LOGOUT] key ( ).

LOGOUT

• However, note that the [LOGOUT] key ( ) cannot be used to log out when a fax number is being entered in fax mode, as the key is used for fax number entry.

• If a preset duration of time elapses after the machine is last used, the Auto Clear function will activate. When Auto Clear activates, logout takes place automatically. However, when PC Scan mode is used, logout does not take place when the [LOGOUT] key ( ) is pressed and Auto Clear does not operate. Change to a different mode on the machine and then log out.

If an incorrect user number is entered 3 times in a row...

If "A Warning when Login Fails" is enabled in the system settings (administrator), the machine will lock for 5 minutes if an incorrect user number is entered 3 times in a row. Verify the user number that you should use with the administrator of the machine.

The administrator can clear the locked state. This is done from [User Control] and then [Default Settings] in the Web page menu.

AUTHENTICATION BY LOGIN NAME / PASSWORD

The following procedure is used to log in using a login name and password received from the administrator of the machine or the administrator of the LDAP server.

THE MEANING OF "R" IN PAPER SIZES

Some original and paper sizes can be placed in either the vertical or the horizontal orientation. To differentiate between vertical and horizontal orientations, paper sizes in the horizontal orientation will be followed by an "R" (for example, 8-1/2" x 11"R, A4R). Sizes that can be placed only in the horizontal orientation (12" x 18", 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 13", A3W, A3, B4) do not include the "R" in their size indication.
