GENERAL PROGRAMS Energy save "Energy save" provides the following the programs to help reduce your power costs. From an environmental perspective, these programs also help conserve natural resources and reduce pollution. G Toner save in B/W printer mode G Toner save in B/W copy mode G Auto power shut-off timer G Auto power shut-off G Preheat mode setting Toner save in B/W printer mode Printing in the toner save mode will reduce black toner consumption. If toner save is set, black solid areas will be printed as halftone. (This setting is effective only for printing without use of the printer driver. If the printer driver is used, the printer driver setting will override the setting of this program.) Print data Example of print in the toner save mode NOTE Rather than disabling the auto power shut-off mode, we suggest that you first try lengthening the time setting of the auto power shut-off timer. In most cases a suitable timer setting will allow work to proceed with minimal delay and still enable you to enjoy the benefits of power conservation. Preheat mode setting The printer will enter the preheat mode after a programmed length of time has elapsed without any operation after printing is complete. We suggest you set the most appropriate time according to your usage pattern. The time until the unit enters the preheat mode can be set in 1 minute increments up to 240 minutes. Note that this function cannot be disabled. Toner save in B/W copy mode This program is used to save toner in copy mode. This program functions the same way as toner save in B/W printer mode. Auto power shut-off timer When a programmed length of time has elapsed without any operation after printing is complete, the printer will enter the auto power shut-off mode to save the maximum amount of energy. The time until auto power shut-off occurs can be set in 1 minute increments up to 240 minutes. NOTES G We suggest you set the most appropriate time according to your usage pattern. G If you use the program "Auto power shut-off" (described below) to disable the auto power shut-off mode, the time set with this program will be ignored. Auto power shut-off When a programmed length of time has elapsed without any operation after printing is complete, the printer enters the auto power shut-off mode to save the maximum amount of energy. If it becomes impractical to use the shut-off feature, this program can be used to disable the feature. If disabled, the auto power shut-off time setting (described above) will be ignored. 9
