Saving Energy
To print a fax message your fax machine uses a heating roller to fuse the image to the paper. This roller must already be hot when the paper passes under it. To maintain a temperature high enough to permit proper fusing, electricity is consumed. This facsimile is equipped with various energy saving modes to reduce the consumption of electricity while the machine is waiting for a fax message.
Letting the heating roller cool to room temperature will reduce the amount of electricity the fax machine consumes. However, the fax machine will not print incoming messages right away, it will store them in memory and print them out after the roller warms up.
Letting the heating roller cool halfway reduces the amount of electricity the fax machine consumes, but not as much as letting it cool to room temperature. On the other hand, since warming up takes only a short time, incoming fax messages can be printed right away.
If your fax machine enters saving energy mode, SAVING ENERGY appears on the display.
The saving energy mode is related to the Night Timer. Refer to the section titled "Night Timer".
How to start the saving energy mode
Your machine will enter the saving energy mode when machine is not used for 5 minutes.
If you want to change the five minute period to one or three minutes, or if you do not want your machine to enter the saving energy mode automatically, please contact your service representative.
How to exit the saving energy mode
Your machine exits from the energy saving mode.
❐When a fax is received. (If the night timer is on, the message will printed out after the night timer ends.)
