determined as a participating company in the International Energy Star Program that this product is compliant with the standards laid out in the International Energy Star Program. About the International Energy Star Program International Energy Star Program has as its basic goals the promotion of efficient energy use and the reduction of the environmental pollution that accompanies energy consumption by promoting the manufacture and sale of products that fulfill program standards. International Energy Star Program standards require that copies come equipped with a "Low Power Mode" where energy consumption is reduced after a certain amount of time elapses since the device was last used, as well as an "Off Mode" where the device automatically turns itself off after there is no activity within a set amount of time. When the copier includes printer and fax functions, the printer and fax must enter a "Low Power Mode" where power consumption is automatically reduced after a certain amount of time elapses since they were last used, and they must also support a "Sleep Mode" where power consumption is reduced to a minimum when there is no activity within a set amount of time. This product is equipped with the following features as a result of its compliance with International Energy Star Program standards. Low Power Mode The device automatically enters "Low Power Mode" when 15 minutes have passed since the device was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before "Low Power Mode" is activated may be lengthened. See "Low Power mode" for more information. Off Mode The device automatically enters "Off Mode" when 60 minutes have passed since the device was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before "Off Mode" is activated may be lengthened. For more information see "Off mode". Paper Recycling The Energy Star Program encourages the use of environmentally friendly recycled paper. Your sales or service representative can provide information about recommended paper types. iv Please read this Operation Guide before using the copier.

"-" will be shown on the copy quantity/magnification display, but everything else on the operation panel will go out. The factory default setting is for 30 minutes. More about the Off mode The Off mode is a power-saving feature which automatically turns most of the power to the copier off when a certain time elapses without any operation being performed. Copiers are generally in a standby mode more than they are in actual operation, so power consumption during this standby period occupies a large part of overall consumption. Having the copier enter the Off mode automatically after a certain amount of time reduces unnecessary power consumption during the standby period or at night if the copier happens to be left on accidentally. The result is a lower electricity bill. NOTES · It is possible to set the amount of time before the Off mode engages. (See "Off Mode Time" on page 6-4.) · It is also possible to disable the Off mode. (See "Off Mode ON/OFF" on page 6-4.) It is possible to engage the Off mode manually. Press down on the Reset/Power key for at least 3 seconds. The Off mode will engage immediately.
