    MT-C4 Training ENERGY SAVING Slide 69 This section describes the latest situation concerning energy saver modes. It applies to other recent models, and not only MT-C4.
  • Page 70 MT-C4 Training QSU (Quick Start-up) Technology QSU reduces the operating temperature, because of these improvements in fusing unit technology Reduced thickness of the hot roller Low melting-point toner This also means that the warm-up time and recovery time from energy saver modes are also reduced.
  • Page 71 MT-C4 Training Instruct the users to use Energy Saving Features Energy Saver mode Customers should use energy saver modes properly, to save energy and improve the environment. Duplexing Duplexing reduces the amount of paper used. This means that less energy overall is used for paper production, which improves the environment.
