Turning On and Off the Power
To turn the machine on and off, press the main power switch on the right of the machine.
Turning On the Main Power
When you push the main power switch, wait at least 10 seconds after it is confirmed that the main power indicator has lit up or gone out.
Make sure the power cord is firmly plugged into the wall outlet.
Push the main power switch.
The power indicator turns on.
After you switch the main power on, a screen may appear to indicate that the printer is initializing.
When the power is turned on, the screen may show that the machine is performing an auto restart. Do not turn off the main power while the machine is processing. It takes about five minutes until the machine restarts.
Turning Off the Main Power
Do not turn off the power while the machine is in operation. To turn the power off, confirm that the operation is finished.
Do not hold down the main power switch while turning off the main power. Doing so forcibly turns off the machine’s power and may damage the hard disk or memory and cause malfunctions.
Do not press the main power switch soon after pressing the main power switch on the machine. When you turn the power on or off, wait at least 10 seconds after confirming that the main power indicator on the control panel has turned on or off.
Push the main power switch.
The main power is turned off automatically when the shutdown process is complete. If the shutdown process is not complete within the period of time displayed on the screen, contact your service representative.
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, "Low Power mode" and "Sleep mode". In the factory default, the machine is configured to use "Sleep mode".
Low Power Mode
If the printer is not used for a certain period of time, it enters Low Power mode.
In Low Power mode, the printer consumes less electricity than in the standby mode by turning off the display and lowering the temperature of the fusing unit heater. If the printer receives a job, it increases the temperature of the fusing unit and perform printing, but the display remains off.
You can configure the period of time the printer waits before it enters Low Power mode in [Low Power Mode Timer].
To exit Low Power mode, do one of the following:
Start print jobs
Press any key on the control panel
Load paper in the bypass tray
Open any cover
Open any paper tray
Sleep Mode
The printer enters Sleep mode when:
The printer waits before entering Sleep mode is set in [Sleep Mode Timer]
It is the day and time specified in [Weekly Timer]
Power consumption is minimized.
The printer can print jobs from computers.
You can change the amount of time that the printer waits before switching to Sleep mode.
Under [Weekly Timer], you can specify the times and the days of the week that the machine enters Sleep mode.
Only the administrator can specify [Weekly Timer] when administrator authentication is enabled.
To exit Sleep mode, press one of the keys on the control panel.
The energy saving functions are disabled when an error occurs or while an operation is in progress.
