TONER SAVE MODE

You can turn on or off the toner save mode as follows:

Display Message Toner Save Mode

TONER SAVE=OFF

Turn off the toner save mode.
(Factory setting)

TONER SAVE=ON

Turn on the toner save mode. The amount
of toner on the paper decreases and the
printed image may look light gray.

POWER SAVE MODE

You can turn on or off the power save mode as follows:

Display Message Power Save Mode

POWER SAVE=ON

Turn on the power save mode. The fixing
assembly of the print engine is turned off
after the specified time to save power.
(Factory setting)

POWER SAVE=OFF

Turn off the power save mode. The fixing
assembly of the print engine is always
powered on to keep its temperature at the
specified level.

When you turn on the power save mode with the SET switch, the display
shows the next sub-setting menu as follows:

TIME OUT=30m *

You need to set the time out for the power save mode from 1 to 99
minutes with the ▲ or ▼ switch: factory setting =30 minutes. The time
out is the duration after which the fixing assembly of the print engine is
turned off (“SLEEP”) to save power.

When the power save mode is turned on, the printer turns on the fixing
assembly again after it receives data from the computer. Since the fixing
assembly must reach the specified high temperature, it takes a little longer
time to start printing the first page.
