Energy Saving Control Function; Energy Saver Mode; Power Off Timer; Duplex Printing - Kyocera ECOSYS P4040dn Operation Manual

Energy Saving Control Function

To reduce energy consumption while in a waiting state, the device comes equipped with an energy saving control function
for switching to a Sleep Mode where power consumption is automatically reduced to a minimum after a certain amount of
time elapses since the device was last used. For details, refer to Energy Saver Function on page 2-26.
Sleep
The device automatically enters Sleep when 1 minute has passed since the device was last used. The amount of time of
no activity that must pass before Sleep is activated may be lengthened. For more information, refer to Sleep Timer (Sleep
timer timeout time) section.
There are two sleep modes: Quick Recovery and Energy Saver. The default setting is Energy Saver mode.
Quick Recovery Mode
The recovery from the sleep mode is faster than when using Energy Saver Mode. The machine automatically recovers and
prints when a job is detected.

Energy Saver Mode

Makes it possible to reduce energy consumption even further than with Quick Recovery Mode.

Power Off Timer

If the printer is not used while in sleep mode, the power automatically turns off. The Power Off Timer is used to set the time
until the power turns off. The factory setting for the time until the power turns off is 1 hour.

Duplex Printing

This printer includes duplex printing as a standard function. For example, by printing two single-sided originals onto a single
sheet of paper as a duplex printing, it is possible to lower the amount of paper used. For more information refer to Duplex
(Setting the duplex printing) on page 4-43.
Printing in duplex mode reduces paper consumption and contributes to the conservation of forest resources. Duplex mode
also reduces the amount of paper that must be purchased, and thereby reduces cost. It is recommended that machines
capable of duplex printing be set to use duplex mode by default.
Resource Saving - Paper
For the preservation and sustainable use of forest resources, it is recommended that recycled as well as virgin paper
certified under environmental stewardship initiatives or carrying recognised ecolabels, which meet EN 12281:2002*1 or an
equivalent quality standard, be used.

This machine also supports printing on 64 g/m paper. Using such paper containing less raw materials can lead to further
saving of forest resources.

Your sales or service representative can provide information about recommended paper types.
Environmental benefits of "Power Management"
To reduce power consumption when idle, this machine is equipped with a power management function that automatically
activates energy-saving mode when the machine is idle for a certain period of time. Although it takes the machine a slight
amount of time to return to READY mode when in energy-saving mode, a significant reduction in energy consumption is
possible.
It is recommended that the machine be used with the activation time for energy-saving mode set to the default setting.
