Turning On and Off the Power

To turn the machine on and off, press the main power switch on the right of the machine.

Important

  • When you are using the fax function on the machine, do not turn the power off under normal operation. If the power is turned off, data stored in the fax memory will be lost in about one hour after the machine is turned off. If you have to turn the power off or unplug the power cord for some reason, make sure 100% is shown as available memory on the screen for the fax function.

Energy Saving Mode

When the machine is not operated for a specified period of time, the machine enters the "Energy Saver Mode" automatically. "Energy Save mode" has two modes, "Fusing Unit Off mode" and "Sleep mode", and the machine enters the Fusing Unit Off mode first. In the factory default, the machine is configured to use both modes.

Fusing Unit Off Mode

Because the heater of the fusing unit is turned off but the screen of the control panel is still displayed, the power consumption decreases, but you can start operation promptly. If you do not operate the machine for a specified period of time, the machine emits a clicking sound and enters Fusing Unit Off mode.

  • You can specify whether to enable the Fusing Unit Off mode and the time to wait before the machine enters Fusing Unit Off mode under [Fusing Unit Off Mode (Energy Saving) On/Off].

  • In this mode, you can scan documents, send faxes, receive faxes into memory, change the machine settings on the control panel, and perform other operations that do not require printing.

Sleep Mode

In this mode, the display of the control panel turns off and the main power indicator blinks slowly. Power consumption is minimized. When you do not operate the machine for a specified period of time or press [Energy Save] (), the machine enters Sleep mode.

  • You can specify the amount of time that the machine waits before entering Sleep mode under [Sleep Mode Timer].

  • The machine recovers from Sleep mode when you perform one of the following:

Note

  • The energy saving functions are disabled when an error occurs or while an operation is in progress.

  • When the machine recovers from Sleep mode using the human detection sensor, the main power indicator turns on. Even if Sleep mode is canceled, the operation screen is not displayed until you touch the touch panel.
