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.
