Functions That Conserve Power - Canon Color ImageRunner C3380 Reference Manual

Functions That Conserve Power

You can conserve power efficiently when the machine is not being used by using
the following modes.
IMPORTANT
Even if the main power switch is turned OFF, a small amount of energy is consumed if the
power plug is left inserted into the power outlet. If you do not want any energy consumed,
remove the power plug from the power outlet.
NOTE
•
The touch panel display turns OFF when the machine enters one of the energy saving
modes.
•
The machine can continue to receive I-fax or fax documents, and process or print data
sent from computers even if it is in one of the energy saving modes described below.
■ Auto Sleep Mode
You can set the machine to enter the Sleep mode whenever you desire, by pressing the
control panel power switch. To reactivate the machine, press the control panel power
switch again.
NOTE
•
The machine may not enter the Sleep mode completely depending on certain conditions.
(For more information, see "Energy Consumption in the Sleep Mode," on p. 4-38.)
•
The Auto Sleep mode enables you to conserve more energy than the Low-Power mode.
•
Turn the control panel power switch OFF when not using the machine for a prolonged
period of time, for example, at night.
•
If a Macintosh, which has been shut down, is connected to the machine via a USB cable,
when the machine returns from the Sleep mode, the Macintosh may turn ON. In this
case, disconnect the Macintosh from the machine. (You may also be able to solve this
problem by using a USB hub between the machine and the Macintosh).
•
The time it takes for the machine to automatically enter the Sleep mode can be set from
10 minutes to 4 hours. The default setting is '20' minutes. (See "Auto Sleep Time," on p.
4-63.)
•
If Energy Consumption in Sleep Mode is set to 'Low', it may take more than 10 seconds
for the touch panel to be displayed after pressing the control panel power switch.
