About the scan head

The scan head lamp remains on constantly when the machine is in the ready condition (when the ready indicator is illuminated).

The machine adjusts the scan head lamp periodically to maintain copying quality. At this time, the scan head moves automatically. This is normal and does not indicate machine trouble.

Power off

1

Make sure that the machine is not in operation and then turn the power

switch to the "OFF" position.

If the power switch is turned off while the machine is in operation, a misfeed may occur and the job that was in progress will be canceled.

In cases where the machine will not be used for a long time, turn off the power switch and remove the power cord from the outlet.

Check the following to make sure the machine is not in operation:

•The ready indicator is lit. (Initial state)

•The power save indicator is lit. (preheat mode or auto shut-off mode)

Power save modes

The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and 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.

Preheat mode

This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if the set duration of time elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. The power save indicator lights up and the display shows a message indicating that the machine is in preheat mode, however, the keys on the operation panel can be used. Normal operation automatically resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, a print job is received.

Auto power shut-off mode

This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode if the set duration of time elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. The power save indicator lights up, the display shows a message indicating that the machine is in auto power shut-off mode. To resume normal

operation, press the [START] key ( ). Normal operation also resumes automatically when a print job is received or scanning is begun from a computer. While in auto power

shut-off mode, no keys (except the [START] key ()) can be used.

The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time can be

Note changed with "PREHEAT MODE" and "AUTO SHUT-OFF TIME" in the user programs. It is suggested that you set times that are appropriate for your usage of the machine. (p.64)
