DESCRIPTION OF SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
Toner save mode (page 26)
Reduces toner consumption by approximately 10%.
Power save modes (page 27)
The unit has two power save modes of operation: preheat mode and auto power
shut-off mode.
Preheat mode
When the unit enters the preheat mode, the power save ( ) indicator will light up
and other indicators will remain on or off as before. In this condition, the fuser in
the unit is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby saving power. To copy from
the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and press the start (
) key
using the normal copying procedure.
Auto power shut-off mode
When the unit enters the auto power shut-off mode, the power save ( ) indicator
will light up and other indicators will go out. The auto power shut-off mode saves
more power than the preheat mode but requires a longer time before starting
copying. To copy from the auto power shut-off mode, press the start (
) key.
Then make desired copier selections and press the start ( ) key using the
normal copying procedure.
