BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

INITIAL SETTINGS

The machine reverts to the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CLEAR ALL] key ( ) is pressed, or the preset "auto clear time" elapses after the last copy is made in any mode. When the machine reverts to the initial settings, all settings and functions selected to that point are cancelled. The auto clear time can be changed in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operator’s guide".)

The initial settings that appear in the display are shown below.

Functions and settings are explained based on the above screen as applicable.

Copy ratio: 100%, Exposure: Automatic, Copy quantity: 0, Automatic two-sided: One side to One side,

Auto paper selection: On,

Paper tray: Upper paper tray (at power on, the previously selected paper tray will again be selected.)

The initial settings can be changed in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operator’s guide".)

Note For the initial settings (initial screen) of printer, fax, and scanner modes, see the operation manuals of those modes.

POWER SAVE MODES

The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and thereby reduce the cost of operation. These modes help conserve natural resources and reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are "Preheat mode" and "Auto power shut-off mode".

The time settings for each mode can be changed in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operator’s guide".)

Preheat mode

When the set time elapses, the temperature of the fusing unit is automatically lowered to reduce power consumption while on standby. The factory default setting is 15 minutes. To return to normal operation, touch any key on the operation panel. To make a copy when the machine is in this mode, simply select the desired copy selections and then press the [START] key ( ).

Auto power shut-off mode

When the set time elapses, the power to the fusing unit automatically turns off to reduce power consumption (This is based on the guidelines of the International Energy Star Program.). The factory default setting is 60 minutes. When the machine enters this mode, the touch panel screen turns off and only the [START] key ( ) blinks. To return to normal operation, press the [START] key ( ). To copy after warm-up starts, make desired copy selections and press the [START] key ( ).
