Fax Operation (Names of Parts / Preparations / Features and Functions of this Fax) Automatically Engaging the Energy Saving Mode (Auto sleep function) Any time there is no operation of or activity with this fax (no keys are pressed, no documents are set, nothing is printed out, etc.) for a designated period of time, the Auto sleep function will engage for energy saving purposes and the fixing section heater and fan inside the machine will shut down. The amount of time most copy or fax machines spend waiting for some operation to begin is generally greater than the time actually spent on copying or fax communication. Thus, the energy consumed during that time is a great percentage of the overall energy used by the machine. Shutting down the fixing section heater and fan enables energy and cost reductions by minimizing unnecessary energy consumption while the machine is in this waiting state. Notes • It is possible to change the amount of time that will elapse before the Auto sleep function is to engage (factory default: 1 minute). It is recommended that this be set to a longer period of time if the machine is used frequently during the day, and to a shorter time if there are normally long periods between use. (Refer to the Operation Guide for your machine.) • When the Auto sleep function engages, only the Main power switch will remain lit and everything else on the operation panel will go out. Fax reception is possible even in this state, but in order to send a fax you will need to press the Power key. 1-15
