Energy Saver Modes - Ricoh FAX4430NF Operating Instructions & Basic Features

Energy Saver Modes

Energy Saver mode enables you to avoid using unnecessary power and econo-
mize on electricity. Although we recommend you use this mode from the view-
point of environmental consciousness, you can also turn it off.
When you install this machine for the first time, Energy Saver mode is turned on
by default.
Two types of Energy Saver mode are available:
• Fax Standby: Use when you receive faxes regularly.
• Energy Saver Standby: Use when you want to economize on power consump-
tion.
Choose the one that best suits your circumstances.
Even though the control panel display isn't on in Energy Saver mode, indicators
that blink or light during communication or reception still work. When the Re-
ceive File indicator lights, exit Energy Saver mode and take the appropriate ac-
tion.
