The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent
Power Saver
As part of the ENERGY STAR program, 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 periods of inactivity. The period of time between the last operation and entering Power Saver is called the Power Saver Timeout. For this product, the Power Saver Mode is entered after 0 minutes. The Power Saver Timeout cannot be modified by the user.
Off modes
This printer has an off mode which still consumes a small amount of power. To completely stop printer power consumption, disconnect the power supply from the wall outlet.
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.
