Energy saver (preheat) function This function turns the machine off to save energy by pressing the Energy Saver (preheat) key, while leaving the main switch turned ON. When this function is activated, the Energy Saver (preheat) indicator is the only lit indicator on the operation panel. * To resume copying after the energy saver (preheat) function has been activated, press the Energy Saver (preheat) key again. It takes about 30 seconds for the copier to recover from the energy saver (preheat) function. * The auto energy saver function can be set to trigger after no copying has been done for a certain period of time. (See "Auto preheat time" on page 6-7.) 5. Auto shut-off function This function automatically turns the main switch OFF (O) if no copying operation is preformed for a certain period (15 to 240 minutes). To make copies again, set the main switch to the ON (|) position. q Auto shut-off function The auto shut-off function is a power saving feature which automatically turns OFF (O) the main switch when a certain time elapses without copying being performed. Copiers are generally in the standby mode more than operation mode, and power consumption in the standby mode occupies a large part of overall consumption. Having the copier turn OFF (O) automatically reduces unnecessary power consumption in the standby mode or at night when the copier is left on. The result is a lower electricity bill. * To change the time until the auto shut-off function starts, see "Auto shut-off time" on page 6-7. To cancel the auto shut-off function, see "Auto shut-off" on page 6-7. 4-6 CHAPTER 5 FUNCTIONS 1.
