5022-xxx Energy Conserve Affects the values that appear in the Power Saver menu item in the Setup Menu. This menu item only appears when the printer model does not support Automatic Power Saver or has deactivated Automatic Power Saver. The menu item only affects the values that are displayed in the Power Saver menu item. Select Off (default) to cause Power Saver to only display Disabled. If Disabled is selected in Power Saver, the printer deactivates the Power Saver feature. Select On to cause Disabled to not appear on the operator panel for Power Saver. Event Log Lets the system support person print a limited set of the information contained in the Diagnostics mode version of the printed Event Log. For a sample of a printout, see "Event Log" on page 3-18. The limited Configuration log and the full Diagnostics log printed versions show the same operator panel messages when they print and follow the same layout guidelines. To print the event log: 1. Select EVENT LOG from the Config Menu. 2. Select Print Log. 3. Press Select to begin printing the log. Auto Align Adj Controls whether the printer executes the automatic alignment calibration after an initiating event occurs. Toner Patch Sensing (TPS) is a diagnostic mechanism that automatically adjusts the printer toner density and alignment settings. When TPS executes, the printer generates toner patches on the transfer belt. It then uses these to calculate the appropriate amount of adjustment, if necessary. When an event initiates a TPS operation, the printer performs a toner density calibration, an alignment calibration, or both of the calibrations. Selections are On (default) and Off. Auto Color Adj Sets the suggested number of pages which the printer should print between consecutive calibrations. Selections are Off and the values between 100 and 1000 in increments of 50. The default is 500 pages. If the printer exceeds the set value while printing a job, it completes the current job and any other jobs received while printing the current job before it initiates a calibration. The printer does not cancel or suspend an active job in order to perform a calibration. If a user is in any of the menus, including the Configuration Menu and the Diagnostics mode, an automatic color adjust calibration does not occur. Diagnostic aids 3-23

Diagnostic aids
3-23
5022-xxx
Energy Conserve
Affects the values that appear in the Power Saver menu item in the Setup Menu. This menu item only appears
when the printer model does not support Automatic Power Saver or has deactivated Automatic Power Saver.
The menu item only affects the values that are displayed in the Power Saver menu item.
Select Off (default) to cause Power Saver to only display Disabled. If Disabled is selected in Power Saver, the
printer deactivates the Power Saver feature. Select On to cause Disabled to not appear on the operator panel for
Power Saver.
Event Log
Lets the system support person print a limited set of the information contained in the Diagnostics mode version
of the printed Event Log. For a sample of a printout, see
“Event Log” on page 3-18
. The limited Configuration
log and the full Diagnostics log printed versions show the same operator panel messages when they print and
follow the same layout guidelines.
To print the event log:
1.
Select
EVENT LOG
from the Config Menu.
2.
Select
Print Log
.
3.
Press
Select
to begin printing the log.
Auto Align Adj
Controls whether the printer executes the automatic alignment calibration after an initiating event occurs. Toner
Patch Sensing (TPS) is a diagnostic mechanism that automatically adjusts the printer toner density and
alignment settings.
When TPS executes, the printer generates toner patches on the transfer belt. It then uses these to calculate the
appropriate amount of adjustment, if necessary.
When an event initiates a TPS operation, the printer performs a toner density calibration, an alignment
calibration, or both of the calibrations.
Selections are On (default) and Off.
Auto Color Adj
Sets the suggested number of pages which the printer should print between consecutive calibrations.
Selections are Off and the values between 100 and 1000 in increments of 50. The default is 500 pages.
If the printer exceeds the set value while printing a job, it completes the current job and any other jobs received
while printing the current job before it initiates a calibration. The printer does not cancel or suspend an active job
in order to perform a calibration. If a user is in any of the menus, including the Configuration Menu and the
Diagnostics mode, an automatic color adjust calibration does not occur.
