Reduces toner consumption by approximately 10%.

The unit has two power save modes of operation: preheat mode and auto power 
shut-off mode.

When the unit enters the preheat mode, the power save (

) indicator will light up 

and other indicators will remain on or off as before. In this condition, the fuser in 
the unit is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby saving power. To copy from 
the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and press the start (

) key 

using the normal copying procedure.

When the unit enters the auto power shut-off mode, the power save (

) indicator 

will light up and other indicators will go out. The auto power shut-off mode saves 
more power than the preheat mode but requires a longer time before starting 
copying. To copy from the auto power shut-off mode, press the start (

) key. 

Then make desired copier selections and press the start (

) key using the 

normal copying procedure.

The unit returns to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the end of copy, or 
scanner operation. This preset amount of time (auto clear time) can be changed.

For description of the stream feeding mode, see "Stream feeding mode" (p.48).

You can set the copy resolution used for AUTO and MANUAL (

) exposure 

mode.
