Product Overview

Powering the System On/Off

Although the printer and controller may be powered on and off manually, the recommended procedure is to allow the Power Saver feature to manage the machine power.

Using the Power Saver Feature

The Power Saver feature automatically reduces the power consumption when no print data are received within a preset period. The Power Saver feature has two modes, [Low Power mode] and [Sleep mode].

The machine enters the [Low Power mode] after a preset period elapses. The machine transitions to the [Sleep mode] from the [Low Power mode] if the machine remains idle for an additional period.

Note

Refer to the section on Timers to learn how to customize the Power Saver mode settings.

Low Power Mode

In this mode, the power to the control panel and the fuser is reduced. As the machine enters the [Low Power mode], the touch screen shuts down and the <Power Saver> button on the control panel illuminates.

Sleep Mode

In this mode, the power is reduced more than in the [Low Power mode]. During the transition from the Low Power mode to the Sleep mode, the touch screen will remain dark and the <Power Saver> button will remain illuminated.

Entering the Power Saver Mode

The Power Saver Mode may be entered either automatically or manually.

Automatic Method: The machine will enter the [Low Power mode] after a preset period elapses. The machine will enter the [Sleep mode] from the [Low Power mode] if the machine remains idle for an additional, preset period.

Manual Method: Press the <Power Saver> button on the control panel. The button will illuminate, the

machine will enter the [Low Power mode], and the touch screen’s backlight will extinguish.

Handling and Storing Media

Handling Media

Do not use media that have been folded, creased, or heavily curled, because media jams may result.

Storing Media

The optimum environment in which to store paper media is a humidity of 40 to 45 %. Keep the following in mind when storing paper media:

• Moisture is not good for media. For storage, wrap the media in wrapping paper and store it in a comparatively dry place. Tracing paper, especially, should be put in a plastic or moisture-proof bag that contains desiccant.

• When the machine is not used for a long period of time, remove the media and store it appropriately.

Loading Media

Loading Roll Media

WARNING: Be careful not to pinch your fingers when you set the roll media in the media drawer.

Load the roll media in the Roll 1 drawer or the optional Roll 2 drawer.

When changing the media type, size, or weight, make sure to change the media settings before starting copying. For information about the set up procedure, refer to the section on Media Settings.
