Energy Saving Control Function

To reduce energy consumption while in a waiting state, the device comes equipped with an energy saving control
function for switching to Sleep as well as Power Off Mode where power consumption is automatically reduced to a
minimum after a certain amount of time elapses since the device was last used.
Sleep
The device automatically enters Sleep when 1 minute has passed since the copy function was last used. The amount of
time of no activity that must pass before Sleep is activated may be lengthened. When printing in Sleep mode, the device
returns to Sleep mode after it has finished printing. For more information see

Power Off Mode

The device automatically turns its power off when 1 hour has passed since the device was last used. The amount of time
of no activity that must pass before Power Off Mode is activated may be lengthened by changing the Power Off Timer
setting. For more information see

Automatic 2-Sided Copy Function

This device includes 2-sided copying as an optional function. For example, by copying two 1-sided originals onto a
single sheet of paper as a 2-sided copy, it is possible to lower the amount of paper used. For more information refer to
Duplex on page 5-13.
Printing in duplex mode reduces paper consumption and contributes to the conservation of forest resources. Duplex
mode also reduces the amount of paper that must be purchased, and thereby reduces cost. It is recommended that
machines capable of duplex printing be set to use duplex mode by default.

Resource Saving - Paper

For the preservation and sustainable use of forest resources, it is recommended that recycled as well as virgin paper
certified under environmental stewardship initiatives or carrying recognised ecolabels, which meet EN 12281:2002
an equivalent quality standard, be used.
This machine also supports printing on 64 g/m² paper. Using such paper containing less raw materials can lead to
further saving of forest resources.

Your sales or service representative can provide information about recommended paper types.

Environmental benefits of "Power Management"

To reduce power consumption when idle, this machine is equipped with a power management function that
automatically activates energy-saving mode when the machine is idle for a certain period of time.
Although it takes the machine a slight amount of time to return to READY mode when in energy-saving mode, a
significant reduction in energy consumption is possible. It is recommended that the machine be used with the activation
time for energy-saving mode set to the default setting.
