The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent time–averaged measurements. Instantaneous power draws may be substantially higher than the average.

Power Saver

This printer is designed with an energy–saving mode called Power Saver. The Power Saver Mode is equivalent to the EPA Sleep Mode. The Power Saver Mode saves energy by lowering power consumption during extended periods of inactivity. The Power Saver Mode is automatically engaged after this printer is not used for a specified period of time, called the Power Saver Timeout. The factory default Power Saver Timeout is 30 minutes for the Lexmark X340.

By using the printer configuration menus, the Power Saver Timeout can be modified between 1 minute and 240 minutes. Setting the Power Saver Timeout to a low value reduces energy consumption, but may increase the response time of the printer. Setting the Power Saver Timeout to a high value maintains a fast response, but uses more energy.

Total energy usage

It is sometimes helpful to calculate the total printer energy usage. Since power consumption claims are provided in power units of Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the printer spends in each mode in order to calculate energy usage. The total printer energy usage is the sum of each mode's energy usage.
