Energy Star®
The ENERGY STAR®Program has been established to encourage the wide-
spread and voluntary use of energy efficient technologies that reduce energy
consumption and prevent pollution.
As an ENERGY STAR Partner, we have determined that this product meets
the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency, based on the following
features.
Auto Low Power
This function conserves energy by lowering the set temperature of the fixing
unit. In the standard setting, Auto Low Power operates automatically when
15 minutes have elapsed after completion of the last copy, with the copier
remaining in the ready to copy state during that time.
The time period for the Auto Low Power function can be set for 1 minute, 3
minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 min-
utes, 120 minutes, or 240 minutes. This function can be disabled in the Utility
mode.
Auto Shut Off
This function achieves further energy conservation by partially turning the
power supply OFF. In the standard setting, Auto Shut Off follows Auto Low
Power, operating automatically when 90 minutes have elapsed after comple-
tion of the last copy, with the copier remaining in the ready to copy state dur-
ing that time. The time period for the Auto Shut Off function can be set for 1
minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 min-
utes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes or 240 minutes. This function can be disabled
in the Utility mode.
Automatic Duplex Copying
To reduce paper consumption, use this function to make double-sided (du-
plex) copies automatically.

Contents-10 VarioLink 9522
Combine Originals
To reduce paper consumption, use this function to copy a fixed number (2,
4, or 8) of original pages onto one sheet of copy paper.
We recommend that you utilize the Auto Low Power, Auto Shut Off, Auto-
matic Duplex Copying, and Combine Originals functions.
