Night Timer

Overview

Laser printing requires the application of heat to bond toner to the printer paper.
For incoming messages to be output quickly, a heating element inside the
machine must be kept hot. This will affect your electricity bills.
The Night Timer feature lets you program timers to switch this heating element
on and off. This will help you to reduce overnight electricity costs. The amount of
savings is the same as the Energy Saving mode described on page 126. In
addition, it also means that anyone wandering through the office after working
hours will not be able to casually read your incoming fax messages, because
incoming messages are not printed while the heating element is switched off.

If a fax message comes in while the heating roller is switched off, the
message is stored in the memory. When the heating element switches back
on, the message is automatically printed.

While the heating roller is disabled, all incoming calls are refused when the
memory fills up.

If you wish to print a received fax messages while the heating element is off,
you can temporarily make the heating element switch on and print the
message by pressing the Energy Saver key. The timer will activate again
automatically a few minutes after you have printed your message.

As a typical example, you could program the heating roller to stay off at night and
over the weekend. (You can program different settings for every day of the week.)

To use Night Timer, you must:

Program the timers for each day of the week.

Switch the Night Timer feature on.
