POWER ON AND OFF

The power switch is located on the left side of the machine.

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

POWER ON

Turn the power switch to the "ON" position.

POWER OFF

Make sure that the machine is not in operation and then turn the power switch to the "OFF" position.

Note

While the machine is warming up, the message "Warming Up" will appear in the message display.

• The machine reverts to the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CA] key is pressed, or when no keys are pressed for the preset "Auto clear" time following the end of a copy job. When the machine reverts to the initial settings, all settings and functions selected to that point are cancelled. The "Auto clear" time can be changed in the system settings. (p.179)

• The machine is initially set to automatically enter power save mode if not used for copying or printing, for a preset period of time. This setting can be changed in the system settings. (p.180)

• Before using fax mode, read the following sections and then turn on the power. "TO USE THIS PRODUCT CORRECTLY AS A FACSIMILE" (p.79) "POINTS TO CHECK AND PROGRAM AFTER INSTALLATION" (p.80)

If the power switch is turned off while the machine is in operation, a misfeed may occur and the job that was in progress will be cancelled.

POWER SAVE MODES

The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby reducing the cost of operation. In addition, these modes conserve natural resources and help reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are "Preheat mode" and "Auto power shut-off mode".

Preheat mode

This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if the duration of time set in the system settings elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. In preheat mode the display turns off. Normal operation automatically resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, or a print job or fax is received.

Auto power shut-off mode

This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode if the duration of time set in the system settings elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. During auto power shut-off, only the [ENERGY SAVE] indicator ( ) blinks. To restore the machine to normal operation, press the [ENERGY SAVE] key ( ). Normal operation also resumes automatically when a print job or fax is received or scanning is begun from a computer. While auto power shut-off is in effect, pressing a key other than the [ENERGY SAVE] key ( ) will have no effect.

Note

The preheat activation time and the "Auto power shut-off timer" can be changed using system settings.

DEFAULT SETTINGS

The machine is set at the factory to return all settings to the default settings one minute after a copy job is finished (auto clear function) or when the [CA] key is pressed. When the settings return to the default settings, any functions that were selected are cancelled. The auto clear time can be changed in the system settings. In the default state the display shown below appears. The default state of

the display may vary depending on settings in the system settings.
