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
C2535 A satisfies the requirements for this program.
Power Saver Mode Feature
This product has a power-saving feature, which switches the machine to the power saver
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
power saver mode 1 start time is set at 3 minutes.
You can set the power saver mode 1 start time between 1 and 60 minutes in 1 minute
intervals. For details on how to set the time, refer to “System Settings” (P. 52).
Note
• The power saver mode 2 feature in this machine saves further power consumption than the power saver
mode 1.
