Energy Saver Modes
The user can set these timers with User Tools (System
settings > Timer setting)
Panel off timer (10 sec – 240 min): Panel Off Mode
» Default setting: 10 seconds
Energy saver timer (1 – 240 min): Low Power Mode
» Default setting: 1 minute
Auto off timer (1 – 240 min): Off/Sleep Mode
» Default settings:
– MT-C4a/b: １ minute
– MT-C4d: 16 minutes
– MT-C4e: 15 minutes
Auto off may not work when an error message appears.
These timers start at the same time:
When the machine ends all waiting jobs
When the user ends all manual operations
Slide 73
Normally, Panel Off timer < Energy Saver timer < Auto Off timer.
But, for example, if Auto Off timer < or = Panel Off timer and Energy Saver
timer, the machine goes immediately to Off mode when the Auto Off timer
expires. It skips the Panel Off and Energy Saver modes.
Example
Panel off: 1 minute
Low power: 15 minutes
Auto Off: 1 minute
The machine goes to Off mode after 1 minute. Panel Off and Low
Power modes are not used.
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 long. Try with a shorter setting first, such as 30
minutes, then go to a longer one (such as 60 minutes) 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 later in this presentation.
