Energy Save - Sharp AR-3551 Operation Manual

KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS

■ Energy save

For saving energy, two programs are provided for
reducing the user's electricity bill, reducing waste of
natural resources and cutting down on environmental
pollution. In situations where it is impractical to use
the Auto power shut-off timer, a program is provided
to cancel that function.
Also a program is provided for reducing toner
consumption.
Auto power shut-off timer
When a programmed length of time has elapsed
without any operation after printing is complete, the
printer will enter the auto power shut-off mode to
save the maximum amount of energy.
The time until auto power shut-off occurs can be set
to 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 120 minutes
or 240 minutes.
{Auto power shut-off timer}
The time until auto power shut-off occurs can be set
in 1 minute increments up to 240 minutes.
NOTES
● We suggest you set the most appropriate time
according to your usage pattern.
● If you use the program "Auto power shut-off"
(described below) to disable the auto power shut-
off mode, the time set with this program will be
ignored.
Auto power shut-off
When a programmed length of time has elapsed
without any operation after printing is complete, the
printer enters the auto power shut-off mode to save
the maximum amount of energy. If it becomes
impractical to use the shut-off feature, this program
can be used to disable the feature. If disabled, the
auto power shut-off time setting (described above)
will be ignored.
{Auto power shut-off}
Same as for the main unit.
NOTE
The auto-power shut-off function reduces the user's
electricity bill, reduces waste of natural resources,
and cuts down on environmental pollution. Since we
would like you to fully understand the purpose of this
mode, we suggest that you enable this mode.
6-8
Preheat mode
The printer will enter the preheat mode after a
programmed length of time has elapsed without any
operation after printing is complete. We suggest you
set the most appropriate time according to your
usage pattern.
The time until the printer enters the preheat mode
can be set to 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes,
120 minutes, and 240 minutes. Also this function
can be disabled.
{Preheat mode setting}
The time until the unit enters the preheat mode can
be set in 1 minute increments up to 240 minutes.
Toner save
Printing in the toner save mode will reduce toner
consumption. If toner save is set, black solid areas
will be printed as halftone. (This setting is effective
only for printing without use of the printer driver. If
the printer driver is used, the printer driver setting
will override the setting of this program.)
Print data
{Toner save in printer mode}
Copies or facsimile output will be made at a reduced
density. Toner save can be set independently for the
copier and facsimile functions.
