# PREHEAT MODE

## Overview

This mode lowers the temperature of the fusing unit and makes the machine wait in low power consumption state.
Preheat mode will activate when the set duration of time elapses in waiting status without executing a job.
Compared to Auto Power Shut-Off Timer, the amount of energy saved is less and the wakeup time is shorter.
In the preheat mode, the [Home Screen] button lights up and the light goes off for the touch panel and the [Power Save] button.
The touch panel is cleared when it is tapped or the [Home Screen] button is pressed.

###### To set preheat mode:

In "Setting mode (administrator)", select [Energy Save] → [Power Management Setting] → [Preheat Mode Setting].
A message appears 15 seconds before Preheat Mode is entered. To close the message and continue normal operation, tap [Continue]. The message appears again 15 seconds before the end of the extension of normal operation time.
If no action is taken within 15 seconds after the message appears, the machine enters preheat mode.

###### To set display of the message:

Set in [Energy Save] → [Power Management Setting] → [Display message for delay of entry into Preheat Mode / Auto Power Shutoff] in "Setting mode (administrators) ".
