10 The Objective of the International Energy Star Program
The Objective of the International Energy
Star Program
To protect the global environment and conserve energy sources, the International Energy
Star Program encourages the following product features. Fuji Xerox confirms DocuPrint
205/255/305 satisfies the requirements for this program.
Low Power Mode Feature
This product has a power-saving feature, which switches the machine to the low power
mode automatically if the machine is on and not operated for a certain period of time. In this
mode the machine stops power to the fuser and saves the power consumption. The default
low power mode start time is set at 5 minutes.
You can set the low power mode start time between 5 and 30 minutes in 1 minute intervals.
For details on how to set the time, refer to “System Settings” (P. 86).
Note
• The sleep mode feature in this machine saves further power consumption than the low power mode.

18 1 Basic Operations
1.3 Power Saver Modes
This printer is equipped with a low power mode and a sleep mode to reduce power
consumption when it is left idle.
When no print data is received for 5 minutes, the printer will enter the low power mode.
When no data is received for a further 10 minutes (a total of 15 minutes lapse (default
settings) since the last received data), it will enter sleep mode. You can specify whether the
printer goes into low power mode or sleep mode. The time ranges to specify for the printer
to go into low power mode or sleep mode are 5 to 30 minutes respectively. Consumption of
power during the sleep mode is 10 W or less (220 - 240 V) or 5 W or less (120 V) and the
time taken to exit from the sleep mode to a print-ready status is about 10 seconds.
Note
• You can enable either only the low power mode or the sleep mode.
• Both the low power mode and sleep mode cannot be disabled at the same time.
• For details on the low power/sleep mode and the procedure to change the settings, refer to “Example:
Changing the Low Power/Sleep Mode Settings” (P. 68).
• When the lower power mode and sleep mode are both enabled, the sleep mode setting is given priority.
For example, when 15 minutes is set for the sleep mode and 30 minutes is set for the low power mode,
the printer enters the sleep mode 15 minutes after the last data is received, and the sleep mode
continues even after an additional 15 minutes when the printer is programmed to enter the low power
mode.
Exiting the Power Saver Mode
The printer automatically cancels the power saver mode once it receives data from the
computer. This mode can also be canceled by pressing the <Power Saver> button on the
control panel.
1.4 Canceling/Checking Printing
