• Printing is not possible when the front or side cover is opened for machine maintenance, or when a misfeed 

occurs or the machine runs out of paper or toner, or when the drum cartridge reaches its replacement time.

• If an original misfeed occurs in the SPF/RSPF, printing will not be possible until the misfed original is removed 

and the SPF/RSPF is ready for use.

The power switch is located on the left side of the machine.

It will take about 25 seconds 
for the machine to warm up. 
While the machine is 
warming up, the START 
indicator will blink. (The 
START indicator will light up 
when the machine is ready 

to copy.)
However, you can make desired settings and press 
the [START] key (

) during warm-up. Copying will 

start after warm-up.

If the power switch is turned 
off while the machine is in 
operation, a misfeed may 
occur and the job that was in 
progress will be cancelled.

The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby reducing the cost of 
operation. In addition, these modes conserve natural resources and help reduce environmental pollution. The two 
power save modes are "Preheat mode" and "Auto power shut-off mode".

This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if the duration of time set in the 
system settings elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. In preheat mode the display turns 
off. Normal operation automatically resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, or 
a print job or fax is received.

This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode if the 
duration of time set in the system settings elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. During 
auto power shut-off, only the START indicator blinks. To restore the machine to normal operation, press the 
[START] key. Normal operation also resumes automatically when a print job or fax is received or scanning is begun 
from a computer. While auto power shut-off is in effect, pressing a key other than the [START] key will have no 
effect.

The machine is set at the factory to return all settings to the default settings one minute after a copy job is finished 
(auto clear function) or when the [CA] key is pressed. When the settings return to the default settings, any functions 
that were selected are cancelled.
The auto clear time can be changed in the system settings. 

In the default state the display shown below appears. The default state of the display may vary depending on 
settings in the system settings.

*The screen is that of the MX-M232D.

• The machine reverts to the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CA] key is pressed, or when no 

keys are pressed for the preset "Auto clear" time following the end of a copy job. When the machine reverts to 
the initial settings, all settings and functions selected to that point are cancelled. The "Auto clear" time can be 
changed in the system settings. 

• The machine is initially set to automatically enter power save mode if not used for copying or printing, for a 

preset period of time. This setting can be changed in the system settings. 

The preheat activation time and the "Auto power shut-off timer" can be changed using system settings. It is 
suggested that you set times that are appropriate for your usage of the machine.
