Using Your Green Pc Features - Epson ActionDesk 4000 User Manual

If you have an electronic mail system available to you, send
E-mail rather than memos. Not only is this faster, but you'll
save paper and storage space too.
Use recycled paper whenever you can.

Using Your Green PC Features

Your computer places the system, the hard disk drive, or both
into a low-power standby mode when the keyboard or mouse
has been inactive for the time periods you select in SETUP. See
Chapter 2 for information on setting these values.
When your system is in standby mode, the NumLock light on
your keyboard flashes and your screen is blank. Press any key
or move the mouse to resume activity.
If the hard disk drive is in standby mode, it doesn't return to
active mode until you access it. You'll hear it start again. It will
take a second or two to reach its operating speed and read or
write to the disk. The hard disk drive access light turns on
when the system begins accessing the disk.
Note
Some hard disk drives do not support a low-power standby
mode. Also, the delay caused by the hard disk drive
returning to active mode may cause errors in some
applications. If you have problems, you may want to disable
the standby mode for the hard disk drive.
