Sharp AR-162S operation manual Power Save Modes, Preheat mode, Auto power shut-off mode

POWER SAVE MODES

The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption 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 90 sec. for preheat mode and 30 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. See page 35.

GENERAL INFORMATION Power save modes

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 10 seconds after any key input or copier operation such as paper tray operation is performed.

Auto power shut-off mode

If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will automatically 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 automatically be turned to the “OFF” position. To turn the power back on, simply turn the power switch to the “ON” position.
