The Energy Save settings help reduce power costs. From an environmental perspective, these settings also help reduce 
pollution and conserve natural resources. Touch the [Energy Save] key and configure the settings.
Toner Save in Printer Mode
Toner Save mode can be enabled to reduce toner 
consumption when printing. This setting is only effective 
for printing that does not use the printer driver. When the 
printer driver is used, the printer driver setting takes 
precedence.
To enable this setting, select the checkbox   and 
touch the [OK] key.

Power Shut-Off does not operate.
When the set duration of time elapses after printing 
ends, Auto Power Shut-Off activates and causes to 
machine to go on standby at a minimal level of power 
consumption.
This function reduces your power costs, and at the same 
time helps conserve natural resources and reduce 
pollution.
If you prefer that auto power shut-off activates as little as 
possible, it is recommended that you try lengthening the 
time setting after which activation takes place rather than 
disabling the function altogether. (The time setting for 
activation of Auto Power Shut-Off is selected using the 
following Auto Power Shut-Off Timer setting.)
Auto Power Shut-Off Timer
The time until Auto Power Shut-Off activates can be set 
to any number of minutes from 1 to 240.
Specify the time with the   keys and touch the 
[OK] key. (To make the number change quickly, keep 
your finger on the   or   key.)
Select the time that best suits your workplace needs.
Preheat Mode Setting
The time until Preheat Mode activates can be set to any 
number of minutes from 1 to 240.
Specify the time with the   keys and touch the 
[OK] key. (To make the number change quickly, keep 
your finger on the   or   key.)
Preheat Mode will activate when the duration of time 
specified with this setting elapses after printing ends and 
no further operations are performed. This function 
reduces your power costs, and at the same time helps 
conserve natural resources and reduce pollution.
Select the time that best suits your workplace needs.This setting may not operate in some applications and 
operating systems.

continuously while your finger is on the key is called 
key repeat.

setting, do not change the port number.
 To use the tandem function when user 
authentication is enabled, the same user 
information must be stored on both the master 
machine and slave machine. If the same user 
information is not stored, the page count may not be

tray is automatically selected.
To enable this setting, select the checkbox   and 
touch the [OK] key.
Initial Color Balance Setting
Color balance values obtained using Color Balance in 
the special modes can be stored in a program (1 to 48),

want to repeatedly use a color balance setting for a 
favorite color or for correction when a change occurs in 
the color balance.
* Preset values displayed when you select Color 
Balance in the special modes. The factory default 
settings are the 0 position for all eight levels of each 
color.
Touch the key of the stored program number and then 
touch the [OK] key. (A key of a program that has not 
been stored cannot be selected.)
To return the stored initial color balance setting to the

of each color), touch the [Return to the Factory Default 
Setting] key and then touch the [OK] key.
Auto Color Calibration
This is used to perform automatic color correction when 
the color in color copies is off. The machine prints a test 
patch, the test patch is scanned, and the color is 
automatically corrected.
After the [Execute] key is touched and a test patch is 
printed, a message appears prompting you to begin 
automatic calibration. Place the test patch on the 
document glass as shown below so that the narrow line 
of one-side of the paper is on the left and touch the 
[Execute] key.
Lay copy paper (about five sheets) that is the same size 
as the test patch on top of the placed test patch, and 
gently close the automatic document feeder.
