Values vary according to options installed and settings of the User Parameters.
In Fax Standby mode, letting the heating roller cool to room temperature will re-
duce the amount of electricity the fax machine consumes. However, the fax ma-
chine will not print incoming messages right away, it will store them in memory
and print them out after the roller warms up.
In Energy Saving Standby mode, letting the heating roller cool halfway reduces
the amount of electricity the fax machine consumes, but not as much as letting it
cool to room temperature. On the other hand, since warming up takes only a
short time, incoming fax messages can be printed right away.
When the machine is shipped, Energy Saving Standby is selected on by default.
Note
❒

ual Receive is turned on.

propriate action.
