Energy Saver Modes - 1/2
Energy saver mode should be utilized to save energy & protect environment.
Area shaded grey in diagram above represents amount of energy saved.
Energy Saver Modes
Customers should use energy saver modes properly, to save energy and protect the environment.
The area shaded grey in this diagram represents the amount of energy that is saved when the
timers are at the default settings. If the timers are changed, then the energy saved will be different.
For example, if the timers are all set to 240 min., the grey area will disappear, and no energy is
saved before 240 min. expires.
Timer Settings
The user can set these timers with User Tools (Menu > Admin Settings > Power Saver > Energy
Saver Mode1 or Mode2)
- Energy Saver Mode1 (30 sec.): This can be only turned on or off.
- Energy Saver Mode2 (1 to 240 min.): This can be turned on or off and timer setting is adjustable
(default: 1min.).
Return to Stand-by Mode
Energy Saver Mode1
- Recovery time: 10 sec.
Energy Saver Mode2
- Recovery time: 23 sec.
Recommendation
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 Energy Saver Mode2
Timer is not too long. Try with a shorter setting first, such as 30 min., then go to a longer one
(such as 60 min.) 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.
