Energy Save Effectiveness - Ricoh OR-C1 Field Service Manual

7. Energy Saving
Example
• Panel off: 1 min.
• Auto Off: 1 min.
• The machine goes to Off mode after 1 minute. Panel Off and Low Power modes are not used.
Return to Stand-by Mode
Recovery time from Off/Sleep Mode
• Machine without HDD: Less than 11 sec.
• Machine with HDD: Less than 10 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 Auto Off timer is not too
7
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.
• If you change the settings, the energy consumed can be measured using SP8941, as explained
below.

Energy Save Effectiveness

SP 8941 (Machine Status) keeps a record of the amount of time that the machine spends in each mode.
• 8941-001: Operating mode
• 8941-002: Standby mode
• 8941-003: Panel off mode
• 8941-004: Low power mode
• 8941-005: Off/sleep mode
With this data, and the power consumption values from the specifications, we can estimate the amount
of energy that is used by the machine.
