to change screens.)
Touch the [TOTAL PAGES PER ACCOUNT] key to

in the screen, touch the 

 key or

print a list of the account numbers that have been set.
Up to 500 account numbers can be set.
● Each account number has five digits. When you

have finished setting one account number, you can
continue setting other account numbers.

numbers: deleting an individual account number,
and deleting all account numbers at once.

● To change an account number, enter the account

number to be changed and then enter a new account
number. After an account number is changed,
another account number can be selected to be
changed. Changes for unregistered account

This setting is used to prevent attempts to guess an
account number. When enabled, a warning message
will appear and account number entry will be prohibited
for one minute if an incorrect account number is
entered three times in a row.

enabled for the printer function, a print job will not be
printed if an incorrect account number is entered or if
an account number is not entered. If this setting is
disabled, printing will take place and the number of
pages printed will be included in the "OTHERS" count.

When this checkbox is selected, the account number
entry screen will appear to allow account number entry
each time a user switches to OSA mode.
To use auditing mode, enable it.

The machine keeps a log of the jobs it has run. The job
log can be used to check general use of the machine.
The job log can be written to your computer in CSV
format using a Web browser. This setting is used to
clear the job log. There is normally no need to use the
setting.

"Energy save" provides the following settings to reduce
your power costs. From an environmental perspective,
this also helps conserve natural resources and reduce
pollution.

● Toner save in printer mode
● Toner save in copy mode
● Auto power shut-off
● Auto power shut-off timer
● Preheat mode setting

Printing in the toner save mode will reduce toner
consumption. If toner save is set, black solid areas will
be printed as halftone. (This setting is effective only for
printing without use of the dedicated printer driver. If
the printer driver is used, the printer driver setting will
override this setting.)

This setting is used to save toner in copy mode. This
setting functions the same way as toner save in printer
mode.

If the machine is not used for a set duration of time,
auto power shut-off activates to enable maximum
conservation of energy.
This function allows you to reduce power costs, and at
the same time helps conserve natural resources and
reduce pollution.
This setting is used to enable or disable auto power
shut-off. To disable the function, remove the checkmark
from the checkbox. Use this setting if you prefer that
auto power shut-off does not operate.

This setting is used to configure the time after which
auto power shut-off activates.
The time can be set to as long as 240 minutes in
increments of one minute.

If the printer is not used for the duration of time
configured in this setting after printing is finished, it will
enter preheat mode. This function reduces your power
costs, and at the same time helps conserve natural
resources and reduce pollution. 
Select the most suitable setting to match your pattern
of use of the printer.
The time can be set to as long as 240 minutes in
increments of one minute. (Preheat mode cannot be
disabled.)

Print data

Example of 
print in the 
toner save 
mode

If you prefer that auto power shut-off activates as
little as possible, it is recommended that you try
lengthening the time setting after which activation
takes place rather than disabling the function
altogether. (The time setting is changed using the
following "Auto power shut-off timer" setting.)

NOTE
● We suggest you set the most appropriate time

according to your usage pattern.

● This time setting is not effective when auto power

shut-off mode is disabled using the "Auto power
shut-off" setting.
