Configure the energy save modes
Configure the energy save modes
Introduction
The ColorWave 3800 offers two energy save modes that you can set if the printer is idle for a
defined period. The configuration of the timers prevents unnecessary power consumption. You
can adjust the value of the timers.
When to do
Sleep mode timer (Default value 45 minutes).
The printer uses minimal energy because the power supply of the printer is turned off. The power
supply of the controller remains on. The printer needs to warm up when it wakes up from the
sleep mode.
Energy save mode timer (Default value 1 minute).
Both the printer and the controller remain turned on. The printer uses less energy than in normal
operating mode, but the printer uses more energy than in sleep mode. The advantage of the
energy save mode over the sleep mode is that the printer usually needs just a few seconds to
wake up.
NOTE
If the printer was manually powered on outside the defined working hours, the printer will
automatically switch off instead of going to sleep mode after the selected [Go into sleep mode
after] period has elapsed.
NOTE
The value you set for the sleep mode timer must be higher than the energy save mode value. If
the value of the sleep mode is lower than the energy save mode, the printer skips the energy
save mode and goes into sleep mode. The power consumption will be lower but it will also take
the printer a bit longer to wake up again.
Procedure
1. Open the [Preferences] - [System defaults] tab.
2. Click on [Edit] in the [Printer properties] section, or click on the [Go into sleep mode after] setting
or the [Go into energy saving mode after] setting.
3. Enter a new value.
NOTE
If you access the Edit window by clicking the value of the setting you want to change,
the Edit window displays the minimal and maximal value you can select.
4. Click [Ok] to confirm, or [Cancel] to reject your entries.
NOTE
When the printer is in the energy save mode, there are several ways to activate the
system.
• press the wake-up button on the user panel
• send a print job
• insert an original in the scanner
