CHAPTER 4 BASIC OPERATION

4. Energy saver (preheat) function

This function turns the machine off to save energy by pressing
the [Energy Saver] (preheat) key, while leaving the main switch
turned ON.
When this function is activated, the Energy Saver (preheat) indi-
cator is the only indicator lit on the operation panel.
To resume copying after the energy saver (preheat) function has
been activated, press the [Energy Saver] key again. It will take
the copier about 30 seconds to return to a copy-ready state.

cally in this copier if no operation is performed for a predeter-
mined period of time. (See "Auto preheat time" on page 6-17.)

This function automatically turns the main switch OFF ( ) if no
copying operation is performed for a certain period (15 to 240
minutes). To make copies again, set the main switch to the ON
( I ) position.
•
Auto shut-off function
The auto shut-off function is a power saving feature which auto-
matically turns the main switch OFF ( ) when a certain time
elapses with out copying being performed.
Copiers are generally in the standby mode more than operation
mode, and power consumption in the standby mode accounts for
a large part of overall consumption. Having the copier turn OFF
( ) automatically reduces unnecessary power consumption in
the standby mode or at night if the copier is left on. The result is a
lower electricity bill.
NOTE
• To change the time remaining until the auto shut off function
operates, see "Auto shut-off time" on page 6-17. To cancel the
auto shut-off function, see "Auto shut-off ON/OFF" on page 6-
22.
• If the optional printer board or printer/scanner kit is installed in
your copier, the copier will enter the energy-saving preheat mode
whenever the auto shut-off function engages. In this state, when
the copier detects data for a print job, it will automatically re-
cover to a print-ready state and printout of the corresponding
information will begin.
• If the optional fax kit is installed in your copier, the copier will be
automatically turned OFF ( ) whenever the auto shut-off func-
tion engages. In this state, when the copier receives an incom-
ing fax, it will automatically recover to a print-ready state and
printout of the corresponding information will begin.
