Suppressing Maximum Power Consumption

Power supply breakers trip when multiple machines at the same work site are turned on together.

The power supply capacity at the work site is small, but the customer does not want to increase power supply capacity.

Cause

The capacity of the power supply is temporarily insufficient if many machines are turned on at the same time.

Action

Enter the SP mode, open SP1-912-001 (Power Limit Mode: Mode: 0: OFF 1: ON), and then change [0 (Disable: Default)] from “0” to [1: (Enable)].

• In the maximum power consumption reduction mode, maximum power consumption can be lowered by shortening the time intervals between lighting the fusing lamps and lowering the amount of current flowing to the lamps to a level below that for normal operation mode.
• The purpose of this mode is to avoid power supply overload, not to save power.

• At startup the machine consumes power equal to that for normal operation mode.

• While this mode is enabled use Plain Paper 1 or Plain Paper 2.

• While this mode is enabled, the time needed to return from sleep mode to full operation is longer, and the fast print speed is slower than usual.
