Power Save Modes - Sharp SF-2530 Operation Manual

POWER SAVE MODES

The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption
and thereby reduce the cost of operation. In addition, these modes conserve
natural resources and help reduce environmental pollution. The two power
save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.
User programs
The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been
preset at the factory to 15min. for preheat mode and 60 min. for auto power
shut-off mode. These times can be changed using user programs. It is
suggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage of
the copier.
Both of the power save modes can be automatically controlled by the auto
power save control function. When enabled, this function will automatically
establish new set times for the preheat and auto power shut-off modes
based upon copier usage patterns.

Preheat mode
When the copier enters the preheat mode, the POWER SAVE
indicator will light up and other indicators will remain on or off as
before. In this condition, the fuser in the copier is maintained at a
lower heat level thereby saving power. The preheat level is,
however, high enough to allow the copier to come to a ready
condition or begin copying within 30 seconds after any key input is
made.
Auto power shut-off mode
If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will auto-
matically turn off the power once a programmed length of time has
elapsed without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is
made or the power is first turned on. The power switch will auto-
matically be turned to the "OFF" position.
To turn the power back on, simply turn the power switch to the "ON"
position.
Auto power save control
The auto power save control function automatically controls the
power save modes. If this function is enabled, the copier enters the
preheat mode a certain length of time after any copier operation and
then enters the auto power shut-off mode. The time that elapses
before the copier enters the preheat mode or auto power shut-off
mode is set automatically by the copier, which calculates the proper
time depending on the user's copying frequency and copy quantity.
If the POWER SAVE indicator is on and some other indicators are
on, the copier is in the preheat mode.
NOTE:
The preheat mode and the auto power shut-off mode, which are
controlled by the auto power save control function, will meet the
Energy Star guidelines.
