ENERGY SAVER MODES
2.11.5 NIGHT MODE
This function is for the copier/fax configuration. There are two types of night mode:
Night Stand-by mode and Night mode. The difference between night stand-by
mode and night mode is the machine's condition when the machine enters auto off
mode.
Entering night stand-by and night modes
The machine enters the night stand-by mode and night modes when one of the
following occur:
• The auto off timer runs out
• The operation switch is pressed to turn the power off
If the machine is in one or more of the following conditions, the machine enters
night stand-by mode. If not, the machine enters night mode.
• Error or SC condition
• An optional G4 unit is installed
• An optional fax HDD is installed
• Image data is stored in the memory
• During memory Tx or polling Rx
• The handset is off hook
• An original is in the ADF
• The ADF is open
What happens in night stand-by and night modes
When the machine enters either of these modes, the fusing lamp and operation
switch turn off, and only the main power LED is lit.
Night stand-by mode
The system +5V is still supplied to all components. When the machine detects a
ringing signal, the +24V supply is activated and the machine automatically prints
the incoming message.
Night mode
The system +5V supply also turned off. However, +5VE (+5V for energy saver
mode) is still activated. When the machine detects a ringing signal, or off-hook
signal, the machine goes back to night stand-by mode and the system +5V and
+24V supplies are activated. Then the machine receives the incoming message
and prints it.
