The user can set these timers with User Tools
MFP/ Priport: User Tools > System settings > Timer Setting
Printer
: User Tools > System settings > Energy Saver Timer
#
Normally, Panel Off timer < Energy Saver timer < Auto Off timer.
#
But, for example, if Auto Off timer < or = Panel Off timer and Energy Saver timer,
the machine goes immediately to Off mode when the Auto Off timer expires. It
skips the Panel Off and Energy Saver modes.
#
Example
$
Panel off: 1 minute
$
Low power: 15 minutes
$
Auto Off: 1 minute
$
The machine goes to Off mode after 1 minute. Panel Off and Low Power
modes are not used.
#
We recommend that the default settings should be kept.
$
If the customer requests that these settings should be changed, please
explain that their energy costs could increase, and that they should consider
the effects on the environment of extra energy use.
$
If it is necessary to change the settings, please try to make sure that the
Auto Off timer is not too long. Try with a shorter setting first, such as 30
minutes, then go to a longer one (such as 60 minutes) if the customer is not
satisfied.
$
If the timers are all set to the maximum value, the machine will not begin
saving energy until 240 minutes has expired after the last job. This means
that after the customer has finished using the machine for the day, energy
will be consumed that could otherwise be saved.
$
If you change the settings, the energy consumed can be measured using
SP8941, as explained later in this presentation.
