Power Saver

The ColorQube 8570 & 8870 printers have Power Saver settings to reduce energy consump-
tion without turning off the printer. The Power Saver settings can be set at the Control Panel or
in CentreWare IS. The Power Saver button on the Control Panel can be used to put the printer
in or bring it out of Power Saver mode.
When the printer is in Power Saver or Standby mode, any of the listed actions cause the printer
to exit Power Saver or Standby mode and start warming up.
• The printer receives a print job.
• The Power Saver button is pressed.
NOTE: Any other action, such as opening a door or inserting a tray, may or may not exit Power
Saver or Standby mode.
If the Power Saver button is lit solid, pressing the button causes a menu with no items to be
displayed for 5 seconds. Pressing the button again returns the printer to Ready state.
Power Saver Mode
When the printer enters Power Saver mode, the Control Panel is displayed and printer status
show Power Saver mode. The printer does not enter Power Saver mode at the following condi-
tions:
• The printer is in Standby mode displaying a Non-Xerox ink or maintenance kit query.
• The printer is out of any ink, due to that it might not be able to purge the Printhead if nec-
essary on exit from Power Saver mode.
• A static Tray is missing.
Standby Mode
The printer can be set up to go into Standby mode periodically to save energy. Standby mode
uses the least power and the printer can take several minutes to warm up and come to Ready
to print. When the printer enters Standby mode, the Control Panel is displayed and printer sta-
tus shows Standby mode.
