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 to configure the settings.
Toner Save Mode
You can reduce the amount of toner used for printing.
Auto Power Shut-Off
This setting enables or disables Auto Power Shut-Off. 
Remove the checkmark if you prefer that Auto 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 is 
changed using Auto Power Shut-Off Timer below.)
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.
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.
Preheat Mode will activate when the set duration of time 
elapses after printing ends and no further operations are

at the same time helps conserve natural resources and 
reduce pollution.
Select the time that best suits the needs of your 
workplace.

Key Operation Setting
This setting determines how long a key in the touch 
panel must be touched until the key input is registered. 
The time can be set from 0 to 2 seconds in increments of 
0.5 seconds.
By lengthening the time setting, key input can be 
prevented when a key is touched accidentally. Keep in 
mind, however, that when a longer setting is selected 
more care is required when touching keys to ensure that 
key input is registered.
Disable Auto Key Repeat
This is used to disable key repeat.
Key repeat causes a setting to change continuously 
while a key is touched, not only each time the key is 
touched.
