The Objective of the International Energy Star Program
To protect the global environment and conserve energy sources, the International Energy
Star Program encourages the following product features. Fuji Xerox confirms DocuPrint
C2535 A satisfies the requirements for this program.
Power Saver Mode Feature
This product has a power-saving feature, which switches the machine to the power saver
mode automatically if the machine is on and not operated for a certain period of time. In this
mode the machine stops power to the fuser and saves the power consumption. The default
power saver mode 1 start time is set at 3 minutes.
You can set the power saver mode 1 start time between 1 and 60 minutes in 1 minute
intervals. For details on how to set the time, refer to “System Settings” (P. 52).
Note
• The power saver mode 2 feature in this machine saves further power consumption than the power saver
mode 1.

1.3 Power Saver Modes
This printer is equipped with the power saver mode 1 and the power saver mode 2 to reduce
power consumption when it is left idle.
When no print data is received for 3 minutes, the printer will enter the power saver mode 1.
When no data is received for a further 5 minutes (a total of 8 minutes lapse (default) since
the last receiving data), it will enter the power saver mode 2 by default.
The data stored in the RAM disk is erased when the printer is switched off. The time ranges
to specify for the printer to go into the power saver mode 1 or the power saver mode 2 are
1 to 60 minutes or 5 to 120 minutes, respectively. Consumption of power during the power
saver mode 2 is 7 W or less and the time required to exit from the power saver mode 2 to
a print-ready status is about 42 seconds.
Note
• You can specify for the printer not to go into power saver mode 2.
• For details on the power saver mode and the procedure to change the settings, refer to “Basic
Operations (Example: Changing the Power Saver Timer)” (P. 46).

2.3 Printing on Custom Size Paper/Long Paper

print driver.
Custom size paper can be loaded in the bypass tray. The paper sizes that can be selected
on this printer are as follows:
For bypass tray
Paper feed direction
Long edge:
139.7 to 900.0 mm
Short edge:
88.9 to 215.9 mm
Note
• The way to print using the PS print driver, refer to the online help for the PS print driver.
• The way to load custom size paper in the bypass tray is the same as the one to load standard size
paper. For details, refer to “Loading Paper in the Bypass Tray” (P. 41).
• When [Bypass Mode] is set to [Panel Specified], you need to set the paper type and size settings for the
tray on the control panel in advance. For details, refer to “3.3 Setting Paper Types and Sizes” (P. 43).
• To print on paper over 356 mm in length, it has to be fed one sheet at a time and supported by hand.
Also, at least 256 MB of memory are required.
Setting Custom Paper Sizes
Before printing, set the custom size on the print driver.
Important
• When setting the paper size on the print driver and control panel, be sure to specify the same size as the
actual paper used. Setting the wrong size for printing will cause the machine failure. This is especially
true if you configure a bigger size when using a narrow width paper.
On the PCL print driver, set the custom size in the [Custom Paper Size] dialog box. This
section explains the procedure using Windows XP as an example.
Note
• For Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP/Windows Server 2003, only users with administrator’s
rights can change the settings. Users without the rights of administrator can only check the contents.
• When configuring the [Custom Paper Size] dialog box in Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP/
Windows Server 2003, settings of other printers on the computer will also be affected as the form data
base of the computer is used by a local printer. For a shared printer on the network, settings of other
shared printers on the same network in another computer will also be affected as the form data base on
the server with existing print queue is used. When setting on Windows 98/Windows Me, settings of other
printers on the computer will not be affected as the settings are for paper sizes defined by each printer
icon. For shared printers on the network, settings of other shared printers on the same network but in
another computer will not be affected as the settings are for paper sizes defined by each printer icon.

About Secure Print
Secure Print is a feature that allows you to assign a password to a print job from the
computer, send it to the printer for temporarily storing, and start printing the data from the
control panel. You can also store the print data in the printer without attaching a password.
By storing frequent-used data in the printer, you can print the data out by just operating on
this printer, and without sending them from the computer again and again.
