Ricoh 2400L Fax Machine User Manual


 
Saving Energy
To print a fax message your fax machine uses a heating roller to fuse the image to
the print. This roller must already be hot when the paper passes under it. To
maintain a temperature high enough to permit proper fusing, electricity is
consumed. This facsimile is equipped with various energy saving modes to
reduce the consumptions of electricity while the machine is waiting for a fax
message.
Letting the heating roller cool to room temperature will reduce the amount of
electricity the fax machine consumes. However, the fax machine will not print
incoming messages right away, it will store them in memory and print them out
after the roller warmes up. (a few minutes later)
Letting the heating roller cool halfway reduces the amount of electricity the fax
machine consumes, but not as much as letting it cool to room temperature. On
the other hand, since warming up takes only a short time, incoming fax messages
can be printed right away.
If your fax machine enters saving energy mode, the lamp and display on the
control panel will turn off.
Though the setting is available, leaving the roller on at full heat brings you no
advantage. We recommend you always use one of the two heat roller settings
described above.
The saving energy mode is related to the Night Timer. Refer to the section titled
"Night Timer".
