System Menu Parameters

This section explains about parameters that can be set on the System menu.

Auto Continue

Sets the printer to ignore an error with paper size or type and continue printing. The printing stops temporarily when an error is detected, and restarts automatically after about ten seconds using the settings made on the control panel.

However, even if you set to [On] and certain errors occur, the current job may be canceled, and the printer automatically performs the next queued job.

Default: [Off]

Blank Pg. Print

Sets the printer to print blank pages.

When cover sheet printing is enabled from the printer driver, cover sheets are inserted even if you select [Off].

Default: [On]

Energy Saver 1

Sets the printer to enter Energy Saver mode 1 if the printer has been idle for about 30 seconds. It takes less time to recover from Energy Saver mode 1 than from power-off state or Energy Saver mode 2, but power consumption is higher in Energy Saver mode 1 than in Energy Saver mode 2.

Default: [Off]

Off
On (30 seconds)

Energy Saver 2

Sets the printer to enter Energy Saver mode 2 after the period of time specified for this setting is passed. The printer consumes less power in Energy Saver mode 2 than in Energy Saver mode 1, but it takes longer to recover from Energy Saver mode 2 than from Energy Saver mode 1.

Default: [On] (10.1 minutes)

On (1 to 240 minutes, in 1 minute increments)
Off

Restore Default

Resets the printer settings to their factory-set defaults.

BW Prt Priority

Sets the printer to suppress the consumption of color toner when printing black-and-white pages.

Also, the amount of color toner consumed during warm-up time for maintenance will also be lowered.

Default: [Off]
