Energy Saving Modes
Energy Saving mode enables you to avoid using unnecessary power and econo-
mize on electricity. Although we recommend you use this mode from the view-
point of environmental consciousness, you can also turn it off.
When you install this machines for the first time, Energy Saving mode is turned
on by default.
Two types of Energy Saving mode are available:
• Fax Standby: Use when you receive faxes regularly.
• Energy Saving Standby: Use when you wish to economize on power con-
sumption.
Choose the one that best suits your circumstances.
Even though the operation panel display goes out in Energy Saving mode, Indi-
cators that flash or light during communication or reception still work. When the
Receive File indicator lights, exit Energy Saving mode and take the appropriate
action.
You can turn Energy Saving mode on or off with User Parameter Function 63.
When the machine is shipped, Energy Saving Standby is selected on.
The machine enters Energy Saving mode when:
• Nobody uses the machine for about 5 minutes (the machine automatically en-
ters Energy Saving mode)
• The user holds down the Energy Saver key for about 2 seconds.
