7 POWER ON
Turn the power switch on the left side of the unit to the ON position. The start ( ) 
indicator will light up and other indicators which show the initial settings of the 
operation panel will also light up to indicate the ready condition. For the initial 
settings, see Initial settings of operation panel (p.8).
About the scan head
The scan head lamp remains on constantly when the unit is in the ready condition 
(when the start ( ) indicator is illuminated).
The unit adjusts the scan head lamp periodically to maintain copying quality. At this 
time, the scan head moves automatically. This is normal and does not indicate unit 
trouble.
The unit will enter a power save mode once the set time has elapsed 
without any unit operation.  The settings of the power save modes can 
be modified. See USER PROGRAMS (p.63).
The unit will return to the initial settings a preset amount of time after 
the end of a job. The preset amount of time (auto clear time) can be 
changed. See USER PROGRAMS (p.63).

the time set with the Auto clear time setting (p.63) elapses after a job is finished, or

The initial settings of the operation panel are shown below.
When copying has begun in this state, the settings in the following table are used.
Power off methods
If not used for a certain period of time, the unit will automatically enter auto power
