How ENERGY STAR® works on your system
60 seconds before the ENERGY STAR timeout occurs, a message appears on your screen informing
you that the system will shutdown in 60 seconds. It begins the countdown and displays the amount of
time left on the screen. An audible beep is also emitted during this time. You can cancel the shutdown
during the 60 second countdown by:
l
Selecting the
Cancel shutdown
button.
l
Selecting the
ENERGY STAR® timeout setting
button. This takes you to System settings
where you can modify the timeouts.
l
Closing the ENERGY STAR® message window.
l
Selecting the help button on the ENERGY STAR message window.
Pitney Bowes Commitment
Pitney Bowes is committed to designing and manufacturing energy efficient equipment because it lowers
the operating costs and helps preserve the environment. As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Pitney
Bowes has determined that the ® Series / SendPro® P-Series system meets the ENERGY
STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency with the optional (no charge) of an automatic SHUT DOWN
mode. This minimizes energy consumption in compliance with the 2009 revised ENERGY STAR®
standards for the mailing equipment category.
How is the ENERGY STAR® Mode enabled?
The ENERGY STAR® Mode is an OPTION, and is not standard with your base configurations for the
® Series / SendPro® P-Series. If this option is not part of your sales configuration, the
® Series / SendPro® P-Series system will not allow the automatic SHUT DOWN to occur.
Is the system energy efficient without ENERGY STAR® enabled?
Yes. Every step was taken to manufacture an energy efficient system. However, the 2009 ENERGY
STAR® guidelines for the Mailing Machine category did not accommodate the leap in technology taken
by the ® Series / SendPro® P-Series Series, where PC-technology is now used for mail
processing and envelope printing. PC-technology works differently than mailing machines of the past –
that had simple on-off switches, and were driven primarily by gears and hard-coded software. PC-
technology requires a full system shut-down to ensure the highest integrity of software applications and
hardware components.
