ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION

There are several components that contribute to the energy saving functions of the bizhub 180:

•Energy Star

•Auto Shut off

•Energy Save Mode

The bizhub 180 has been designed to meet the standards established by the International Energy Star Plan. This plan is an international agreement to reduce the amount of energy used by electrical equipment when it is idle. The International Energy Star Plan also aims to develop and promote products that offer efficient energy consumption.

A key energy saving function is Auto Shut Off. Auto Shut Off shuts down the copier when it has been idle for a set period of time. The default setting is 30 minutes, however, the user can set the time ranging from 1 minute and 240 minutes

in 1-minute increments.

For those times that you don’t want the copier to shut down, but want to minimize energy consumption between use, the bizhub 180 offers an Energy Save Mode. To save electricity, the copier enters the Energy Save Mode after being idle for a set period of time. The default setting is 15 minutes, however, the end user can specify a time period between 1 minute and 240 minutes in 1-minute increments. Pressing any key on the control panel, opening the original cover or placing an original on the document feeder easily cancels Energy Save Mode.
