You can check in the status of setting mode.

[Total Count] appears in the [Status] of setting mode. You can check the total pages used from this item.

THE OPERATION PANEL CANNOT BE USED

Check Solution

Is the main power indicator lit?

If the main power indicator is not lit up, turn the machine's power on. Make sure that the power plug is firmly inserted in the power outlet, switch the main power switch to the " " position.

Did you just power on the machine?

Wait until a message appears indicating that the machine is ready. After the [Power] button is turned on, the machine requires some time to complete warmup operation. During warmup operation, functions can be selected, but a job cannot be run.

Is the main power indicator blinking?

Auto Power Shut-Off mode has activated. To return the machine to normal operation, press the [Power] button. For more information, see ECO.
