Energy Saving Control Function

The device comes equipped with a Low Power Mode where energy consumption is reduced after a certain amount of
time elapses since the device was last used, as well as a Sleep where printer and fax functions remain in a waiting state
but power consumption is still reduced to a minimum when there is no activity with the device within a set amount of
time.
Low Power Mode
The device automatically enters Low Power Mode when 3 minutes have passed since the device was last used. The
amount of time of no activity that must pass before Low Power Mode is activated may be lengthened.
Low Power Mode (page 2-26)
Sleep
The device automatically enters Sleep when 20 minutes (models for Europe), or 30 minutes (models except for Europe)
have passed since the device was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before Sleep is activated
may be lengthened.
Sleep (page 2-26)
Auto Power Off (models for Europe)
The device automatically turns its power off after the preset time has passed since the device was last used, when the
device is not connected to any computers.

Automatic 2-Sided Print Function

This device includes 2-sided printing as a standard function. For example, by printing two 1-sided originals onto a single
sheet of paper as a 2-sided print, it is possible to lower the amount of paper used.
Duplex (page 6-27)
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/m
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.
