ECO FUNCTIONS OF THE MACHINE
These functions help save power consumption by managing operations of sections prone to high power consumption.
The machine provides two power-saving modes.
In addition to these two modes, using the following functions in conjunction helps reduce even more power
consumption.
Mode Settings
The eco function settings are set in a batch. "Custom Mode" and "Eco Mode" are available.
Setting values applied by each mode is as follows.
Function Description Page
AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF
MODE
If no operations take place, this mode will turn off the power to the operation
panel and the fusing unit, and makes the machine wait in the lowest power
consumption state.
Although the power-saving rate is higher, the wakeup time is longer.
1-24
PREHEAT MODE This mode lowers the temperature of the fusing unit and makes the machine
wait in low power consumption state.
Compared to Auto Power Shut-Off mode, the power-saving rate is lower, but
the wakeup time is shorter.
