Before You Start Using This Machine

Setting the Current Date and Time

You can set the current date and time. The current date and time settings are used as standard

timer settings for functions that require them.

NOTE

You can also specify to automatically synchronize the date and time with a server on the network from

the Additional Functions screen. (See Chapter 3, "Using a TCP/IP Network," in the Network Guide.)

Press ➞ [System Settings] ➞ [Date & Time Settings].

Enter the current date (day, month, year)

and time using - (numeric keys).

Enter the month and the day using four digits (including

zeros).

Enter all four digits of the year, and the time in 24-hour

notation, as four digits (including zeros) without a space.

● If you are setting the Time Zone:

❑

Press the Time Zone drop-down list ➞ select the time zone where the machine is located.

•

GMT: The time at the Greenwich Observatory in England is called GMT

(Greenwich Mean Time).

• Time Zone: The standard time zones of the world are expressed globally in terms

of the difference in hours ( up to 12 hours) from GMT ( 0 hours).

A time zone is a region throughout which this time difference is the

same.

• Daylight Saving Time: In some countries, time is advanced throughout the summer season.

The period in which this is applied is called "Daylight Saving Time."
