GENERAL INFORMATION
POWER SAVE MODES
The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption
thereby reduce the cost of operation. In addition, these modes conserve
natural resources and help reduce environmental pollution. The two power
save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.
●User programs
The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been
preset at the factory to 90 sec. for preheat mode and 30 min. for auto power
shut-off mode. These times can be changed using user programs. It is
suggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage of
the copier. (See page 32.)
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. The preheat level is, however, high enough to allow the copier
to come to a ready condition or begin copying within 10 seconds after any key
input or copier operation such as paper tray operation is performed.
Auto power shut-off mode
If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will automatically turn
off the power once a programmed length of time has elapsed without any
copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or the power is first turned
on. The power switch will automatically be turned to the “OFF” position.
To turn the power back on, simply turn the power switch to the “ON”
position.
