Auto Switching of Finisher Trays
(When a finisher (large stacker) is installed.)
If the number of sheets on the upper finisher tray 
reaches the sheet limit, output will automatically switch 
to the lower tray.
Optimization of a Hard Disk
This function optimizes the hard drive of the machine by 
defragmenting data. If a job is in progress, a message 
will appear and optimization will not begin until the job is 
finished. During optimization, the following operations 
are not possible:
 Web page access, reception of print data
 Use of keys on the operation panel
 Turning off the power with the main power switch of 
the machine.
 Auto Power Shut-Off
When optimization is completed, the machine will 
automatically restart.
Clear All Job Log Data
This is used to clear the entire job log. (There is normally 
no need to use this function.)
A log file is kept of jobs run on the machine. The job log 
can be used to check general use of the machine. The 
job log can be written to a computer in CSV format using 
a Web browser.
When the document filing function is frequently used 
and output of files seems somewhat slow, optimizing 
the hard drive may improve performance.

conditions must be satisfied in order to scan at 600 x 
300 dpi (MX-M363N/MX-M503N)/600 x 400dpi 
(MX-M283N) and attain the fastest speed.
