POWER ON AND OFF

Power save modes

The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and thereby reduce the cost of operation and to conserve natural resources to help reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are preheat mode and sleep mode.

★KEY OPERATOR

The preheat activation time and the sleep activation time have been preset at the factory to 15 min. for preheat mode and 60 min. for sleep mode. These times can be changed as described in the key operator’s guide. It is suggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage of the copier.

Sleep mode

If the sleep mode is enabled, the copier will enter the mode 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. When the copier enters the sleep mode, the display on the touch panel will disappear. In this condition, power is not supplied to the fuser in the copier. To exit from the sleep mode, press the COPY key.

★ KEY OPERATOR See page 25 of the KEY OPERATOR’S GUIDE for setting the sleep mode timer. See page 30 of the KEY OPERATOR’S GUIDE for enabling or disabling the sleep mode.

Preheat mode

The copier will enter the mode once the set time has elapsed without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or power is turned on.

When the copier enters the preheat mode, the message “PREHEAT MODE. PLACE ORIGINALS.” will appear.

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 approximately 30 seconds after any key input is made.

To copy from the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and press a START key using the normal copying procedure.

★KEY OPERATOR See page 26 of the KEY OPERATOR’S GUIDE for information on setting the preheat mode.
