● When using the fax function, when the initial state is displayed,

you can send faxes.

● When you turn on the power, the machine enters copier mode

or fax mode depending on the last mode used before power was
turned off. For example, if the machine is in copier mode and the
power is turned off, it will enter copier mode when the power is
turned on again. Likewise, if the machine is in fax mode and the
power is turned off, it will enter fax mode when the power is
turned on again.

mode from the copier or fax modes if it is turned on and not used
for a specified period of time.
