Sleep Mode - Riso HC5500 Series Reference Manual

Sleep Mode and Stand-by Mode
When the printer is switched ON and is left unused for a certain period of time, it automatically enters an energy
saving mode.
Two types of energy saving modes are available: [Stand-by mode] and [Sleep mode].
Stand-by mode
In the Stand-by mode, power consumption drops from the usual 800W to less
than 150W. Any print operation sent from the computer calls the printer back
from the Stand-by mode to start printing. For menu operations, use the WAKE-
UP key.

Sleep mode

The sleep mode is more economical than the wait mode. Power consumption
falls to less than 20W. To bring the printer back from the sleep mode to the
printable state on Macintosh machines, use the [RISO Wake-Up Tool] available
in the RISO Controller CD-ROM to send a command from the computer or
press the Sleep Key of the HC5500. (On Windows machines, the data is auto-
matically received when sent.)
It is possible to set up the times required to enter the stand-by and sleep modes.
