Off mode The Off mode automatically turns most of the power to the copier off if no operation has been performed on the copier for a pre-set period of time (between 15 and 240 minutes). "-" will be shown on the copy quantity/magnification display, but everything else on the operation panel will go out. The factory default setting is for 30 minutes. It is possible to engage the Off mode manually. Press down on the Reset/Power key for at least 3 seconds. The Off mode will engage immediately. Section 4 BASIC OPERATION More about the Off mode The Off mode is a power-saving feature which automatically turns most of the power to the copier off when a certain time elapses without any operation being performed. Copiers are generally in a standby mode more than they are in actual operation, so power consumption during this standby period occupies a large part of overall consumption. Having the copier enter the Off mode automatically after a certain amount of time reduces unnecessary power consumption during the standby period or at night if the copier happens to be left on accidentally. The result is a lower electricity bill. NOTES • It is possible to set the amount of time before the Off mode engages. (See "Off Mode Time" on page 6-4.) • It is also possible to disable the Off mode. (See "Off Mode ON/OFF" on page 6-4.) NOTE When the Off mode is engaged, all power to the copier, except that to the operation panel, is turned off. When the power switch is turned OFF ({), all power to the copier, including to the operation panel, is turned off. To enable copying again, press any one of the keys on the operation panel. 4-7
