Power Consumption and Activation Time
The amount of electricity that a device consumes depends on the way the device is used. This device is designed and configured to enable you to reduce your electricity usage.
To reduce energy consumption, your device is configured to use Energy Saver modes. After the last print, the device transitions to Ready mode. In Ready mode, the device can print again immediately. If the device is not used for a specified period, the device transitions to Sleep mode. To reduce power consumption, only essential functions remain active in Sleep mode. The device takes longer to produce the first print after it exits Sleep Mode, than it takes to print in Ready mode. This delay is the result of the printer that wakes up and is typical of most imaging devices on the market.
To save power, you can configure Energy Saver modes. The following options are available:
Job Activated: The device wakes when it detects activity. To set the delay before the device enters Sleep Mode, enter the number of minutes.
Sleep and wake up at scheduled times: The device wakes and sleeps according to a schedule that you specify.
Auto Power Off: To allow the device to power off after a period of time in Sleep Mode, select Auto Power Off. To set the delay before the printer powers off from the Sleep Mode setting, enter the number of hours.
To change the Energy Saver mode settings, refer to the User Guide at www.xerox.com/office/VLB620docs. For further assistance, contact your System Administrator or refer to the System Administrator Guide.
To enable Auto Power Off mode, contact your System Administrator. For details, refer to the System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/office/VLB620docs.

Note:Changing the default Energy Saver activation times can result in an overall higher energy consumption of the device. Before you turn off Energy Saver modes or set a long activation time, consider the increase in device power consumption.
