Energy save
"Energy save" provides the following the programs to
help reduce your power costs. From an environmental
perspective, these programs also help conserve
natural resources and reduce pollution.
G Toner save in B/W printer mode
G Toner save in B/W copy mode
G Auto power shut-off timer
G Auto power shut-off
G Preheat mode setting
Toner save in B/W printer mode
Printing in the toner save mode will reduce black toner
consumption. If toner save is set, black solid areas will
be printed as halftone. (This setting is effective only for
printing without use of the printer driver. If the printer
driver is used, the printer driver setting will override the
setting of this program.)
Print data
Toner save in B/W copy mode
This program is used to save toner in copy mode. This
program functions the same way as toner save in B/W
printer mode.
Auto power shut-off timer
When a programmed length of time has elapsed
without any operation after printing is complete, the
printer will enter the auto power shut-off mode to save
the maximum amount of energy.
The time until auto power shut-off occurs can be set in
1 minute increments up to 240 minutes.
NOTES
G We suggest you set the most appropriate time
according to your usage pattern.
G If you use the program "Auto power shut-off"
(described below) to disable the auto power
shut-off mode, the time set with this program will
be ignored.
Auto power shut-off
When a programmed length of time has elapsed
without any operation after printing is complete, the
printer enters the auto power shut-off mode to save the
maximum amount of energy. If it becomes impractical
to use the shut-off feature, this program can be used to
disable the feature. If disabled, the auto power shut-off
time setting (described above) will be ignored.
Example of
print in the
toner save
mode
NOTE
Rather than disabling the auto power shut-off
mode, we suggest that you first try lengthening the
time setting of the auto power shut-off timer. In
most cases a suitable timer setting will allow work
to proceed with minimal delay and still enable you
to enjoy the benefits of power conservation.
Preheat mode setting
The printer will enter the preheat mode after a
programmed length of time has elapsed without any
operation after printing is complete. We suggest you
set the most appropriate time according to your usage
pattern.
The time until the unit enters the preheat mode can be
set in 1 minute increments up to 240 minutes. Note that
this function cannot be disabled.
