[11] USER PROGRAM

use conditions.

1. Functions that can be set with user

programs

Toner save mode

Reduces toner consumption by approximately 10%.

Power save modes

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 (

) indi-

cator 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 except the

ONLINE indicator 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 selec-

tions and press the start (

) key using the normal copying proce-

dure.
