DESCRIPTION OF SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

This chapter describes the special functions of this copier. Use these functions as needed.

Toner save mode (page 26)

Reduces toner consumption by approximately 10%.

Power save modes (page 27)

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

●Preheat mode

When the copier 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 copier is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby saving power. To copy from the preheat mode,

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

●Auto power shut-off mode

When the copier enters the auto power shut-off mode, the power save ( ) indicator will light up and other indicators will go out. The auto power shut-off mode saves more power than the preheat mode but requires a longer time before starting copying. To copy from the

auto power shut-off mode, press the print (		) key. Then make desired copier selections
and press the print (	) key using the normal copying procedure.

Auto clear (page 27)

The copier returns to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the last copy is made. This preset amount of time (auto clear time) can be changed.
