Power save modes

The unit has two power save modes of operation: preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.

Preheat mode

When the unit enters the preheat mode, the power save ( ) indicator will light up and other indicators will remain on or off as before. In this condition, the fuser in the unit is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby saving power.

Auto power shut-off mode

When the unit enters the auto power shut-off mode, the power save ( ) indicator will light up and other indicators will go out.

Then make desired copier selections and press the start () key using the normal copying procedure.

Auto clear

mode.
