Energy Saving Modes
Energy Saving mode enables you to avoid using unnecessary power and econo-
mize on electricity. Although we recommend you use this mode from the view-
point of environmental consciousness, you can also turn it off.
When you install this machines for the first time, Energy Saving mode is turned
on by default.
Two types of Energy Saving mode are available:
• Fax Standby: Use when you receive faxes regularly.
• Energy Saving Standby: Use when you wish to economize on power con-
sumption.
Choose the one that best suits your circumstances.
Even though the operation panel display goes out in Energy Saving mode, Indi-
cators that flash or light during communication or reception still work. When the
Receive File indicator lights, exit Energy Saving mode and take the appropriate
action.
You can turn Energy Saving mode on or off with User Parameter Function 63.
When the machine is shipped, Energy Saving Standby is selected on.
The machine enters Energy Saving mode when:
• Nobody uses the machine for about 5 minutes (the machine automatically en-
ters Energy Saving mode)
• The user holds down the Energy Saver key for about 2 seconds.

Laser Safety:
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of
laser-based optical unit in the field. The optical housing unit can only be re-
paired in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment. The laser sub-
system is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser
chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed
to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when
replacement or the optical subsystem is required.

This machine is considered a CDRH class I laser device, safe for office / EDP use.
The machine contains two 5-milliwat, 765 - 805 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs
laser diodes. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact with the laser beam might
cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock mechanisms have
been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.
In accordance with IEC 60417, this machine uses the following symbols for the
main power switch:
•ameans POWER ON.
•bmeans POWER OFF.
