In Fax Standby mode, letting the heating roller cool to room temperature will re-
duce the amount of electricity the fax machine consumes. However, the fax ma-
chine will not print incoming messages right away, it will store them in memory
and print them out after the roller warms up.
In Energy Saving Standby mode, letting the heating roller cool halfway reduces
the amount of electricity the fax machine consumes, but not as much as letting it
cool to room temperature. On the other hand, since warming up takes only a
short time, incoming fax messages can be printed right away.
When the machine is shipped, Energy Saving Standby is selected on by default.
Note
When the machine is in Energy Saving mode, the display goes blank.
You can still send fax messages while the machine is in Energy Saving mode.

with the Power Saving Timer"
When you load paper in Energy Saving mode, no error will be displayed even
if the cassette is not pushed right in. After loading paper, press the Energy
Saver key and check that "READY" is shown on the display.
The Manual Receive indicator goes out in Energy Saving mode even if Man-
ual Receive is turned on.
Even though the operation panel display goes out in Energy Saving mode, in-
dicators that flash or light during communication or reception still work.
When the Receive File indicator lights, exit Energy Saving mode and take ap-
propriate action.
