POWER ON AND OFF

The power switch is located on the left side of the machine.

POWER ON

Turn the power switch to the "ON" position

It will take about 45 seconds for the machine to warm up. While the machine is warming up,

the POWER SAVE

indicator will blink. (The POWER SAVE indicator will go off when the machine is ready to copy.)

However, you can make desired settings and press the [START] key ( ) during warm-up. Copying will start after warm-up.

POWER OFF

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.

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

The START indicator is lit. (Initial state)

The POWER SAVE indicator is lit. ("Preheat mode" or "Auto power shut-off" mode)

• "Auto clear" is initially set to return the copy settings to the initial settings when the [CLEAR ALL] key ( ) is

Note pressed, and after one minute elapses after a copy job is finished. When "Auto clear" operates, all previous settings are cleared. The setting for "Auto clear" can be changed in the user programs. (p.44)

The machine is initially set to automatically enter power save mode if not used for copying, printing, or scanning for a preset period of time. This setting can be changed in the user programs. (p.44)

Power Save Modes

The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby reducing 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, 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, or scanning is begun from a computer.

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. All lights except the POWER SAVE indicator and ON LINE indicator go off. 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.

Note The preheat activation time and the "Auto power shut-off timer" can be changed using user programs. It is suggested that you set times that are appropriate for your usage of the machine. (p.44)

Initial settings

The machine assumes the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CLEAR ALL] key ( ) is pressed, and approximately one minute after the last copy is made in any mode.

Copy ratio: 100%, Exposure: Automatic

Copy quantity: 0, All special copier modes: Off

Auto paper selection: On, Paper feed station: The tray selected in the "Default tray setting" in the user programs.(p.46)
