The machine's power consumption can be reduced by Eco
Mode setting. Although each function setting can be changed separately,
the machine has the "Custom" and "Eco Mode" to allow simultaneous
changing of settings.
You can display eco-recommended functions such
as two-sided printing and N-Up during copying, document filing print, and
direct print.
Setting values applied by each mode is as follows.

The time until the preheating mode works is 1 to 60 minutes
in 1-minute units.
Preheat Mode will activate when the set duration of time elapses
