POWER ON AND OFF
The power switch is located on the left side of the machine.
POWER ON
Turn the power switch to the ON 
position.
It will take about 45 
seconds for the machine 
to warm up. While the 
machine is warming up, 
the POWER SAVE 
indicator ( ) will blink. 
(The POWER SAVE 
indicator ( ) will go off 
when the machine is 
ready to copy.)
However, you can make desired settings and press 
the [START] key ( ) during warm-up. Copying will 
start after warm-up.
POWER OFF
Make sure that the machine is not in 
operation and then turn the power switch 
to the OFF position.
If the power switch is 
turned off while the 
machine is in operation, 
a misfeed may occur and 
the job that was in 
progress will be 
cancelled.
Check the following to make sure the machine is not in 
operation:
 The START indicator is lit. (Initial state)
 The POWER SAVE indicator ( ) is lit. (Preheat 
mode or Auto power shut-off mode)
Power save modes
The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby reducing the cost of 
operation. In addition, these modes conserve natural resources and help reduce environmental pollution. The two 
power save modes are Preheat mode and Auto power shut-off mode.
Preheat mode
This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if the set duration of time 
elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. The POWER SAVE indicator ( ) lights up, 
however, the keys on the operation panel can be used. Normal operation automatically resumes when a key on the 
operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, or a print job is received.
Auto power shut-off mode
This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode if the 
set duration of time elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. All lights except the POWER 
SAVE indicator ( ) and ON LINE indicator go off. To resume normal operation, press the [START] key ( ). 
Normal operation also resumes automatically when a print job is received. While in auto power shut-off mode, no 
keys (except the [START] key ( )) can be used.
 The machine reverts to the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CLEAR ALL] key ( ) is pressed, 
or when no keys are pressed for the preset Auto clear time following the end of a copy job. When the machine 
reverts to the initial settings, all settings and functions selected to that point are cancelled. The Auto clear time 
can be changed in the user settings. (p.69)
 The machine is initially set to automatically enter power save mode if not used for copying or printing, for a 
preset period of time. This setting can be changed in the system settings. (p.69)
The preheat activation time and the Auto power shut-off timer can be changed using system settings. It is 
suggested that you set times that are appropriate for your usage of the machine. (p.69)
Note
Note
Initial settings
The machine assumes the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CLEAR ALL] key ( ) is pressed, 
and approximately one minute after the last copy is made in any mode.
Copy ratio: 100%, Exposure: Automatic
Copy quantity: 0, All special copier modes: Off
Auto paper selection: On, Paper feed station: The tray selected in the Default tray setting in the system settings. (p.71)
