Turning On and Off the Power
To turn the machine on and off, press the main power switch on the front of the machine.
When you are using the fax function on the machine, do not turn the power off under normal operation. If the power is turned off, data stored in the fax memory will be lost in about one hour after the machine is turned off. If you have to turn the power off or unplug the power cord for some reason, make sure 100% is shown as available memory on the screen for the fax function.
Turning On the Main Power
Do not press the main power switch soon after you press the main power of the machine. When you turn the power on or off, wait at least 10 seconds after confirming that the main power indicator on the control panel has turned on or off.
Make sure the power cord is firmly plugged into the wall outlet.
Push the main power switch.
The main power indicator on the right side of the control panel turns on.
When the power is turned on, the screen may show that the machine is performing an auto restart. Do not turn off the main power while the machine is processing. It takes about five minutes until the machine restarts.
If a file was deleted from memory, a Power Failure report is automatically printed as soon as the power is restored. This report can be used to identify lost files.
Turning Off the Main Power
Do not turn off the power while the machine is in operation. To turn the power off, confirm that the operation is finished.
Do not hold down the main power switch while turning off the main power. Doing so forcibly turns off the machine's power and may damage the memory and cause malfunctions.

Energy Saving Mode
When the machine is not operated for a specified period of time, the machine enters the "Energy Saving mode" automatically. "Energy Saving mode" has two modes, "Fusing Unit Off mode" and "Sleep mode", and the machine enters the Fusing Unit Off mode first. In the factory default, the machine is configured to use both modes.
Fusing Unit Off Mode
In this mode, the main power indicator is lit. Because the heater of the fusing unit is turned off but the screen of the control panel is still displayed, the power consumption decreases, but you can start operation promptly. If you do not operate the machine for a specified period of time, the machine emits a clicking sound and enters Fusing Unit Off mode.
You can specify whether to enable the Fusing Unit Off mode and the time to wait before the machine enters Fusing Unit Off mode under [Fusing Unit Off Mode (Energy Saving) On/Off].
In this mode, you can scan documents, send faxes, receive faxes into memory, change the machine settings on the control panel, and perform other operations that do not require printing.
Sleep Mode
In this mode, the display of the control panel turns off and the main power indicator blinks slowly. Power consumption is minimized. When you do not operate the machine for a specified period of time or press [Energy Save] (
), the machine enters Sleep mode.
You can specify the amount of time that the machine waits before entering Sleep mode under [Sleep Mode Timer].
The machine recovers from Sleep mode when you perform one of the following:
Open the ADF cover.
Lift the ADF.
Place an original in the ADF.
Touch the display of the control panel.
The energy saving functions are disabled when an error occurs or while an operation is in progress.
The energy saving functions will not operate in the following cases:
When fixed warm-up is in progress
When operations are suspended during printing
When a warning message appears (The machine enters Fusing Unit Off mode unless the cover is open.)
When paper is jammed (The machine enters Fusing Unit Off mode except when the cover is open.)
When the Data In indicator is lit or flashing (The machine enters Fusing Unit Off mode except when the Data In indicator is lit or flashing due to receiving faxes or storing documents.)
