Description

[Use Weekly Timer]

Select this check box to use the weekly timer function. Also specify the power save mode to be switched by the weekly timer, and the weekly timer schedule.

The weekly timer schedule can be used with [Date Setting] and [Work Time Setting].

If the [Enable Tracking Function] check box is selected, the schedule automatically set by the tracking function is specified by default for [Date Setting] and [Work Time Setting]. More flexible operation is possible by changing the automatically set schedule as required.

[ON] (selected) is specified by default.

[Power Save Mode Setting]

Select a power save mode to which the machine enters based on the weekly timer.

  • [ErP Auto Power OFF]: A mode that provides a higher more effective power saving effect. In this mode, you cannot receive all jobs.

  • [Sleep]: This mode has a lower power saving effect than the [ErP Auto Power OFF] mode; however, it allows you to receive print jobs from a fax machine or computer. The received jobs are printed when the machine returns to the normal mode.

[ErP Auto Power OFF] is specified by default.
