Energy Data and Operating Modes
The Sharp MX-M5051 is designed to save energy costs. It features various operating modes:
- Ready Mode: Immediately available for printing.
- Energy-Saving Modes: Including Preheat, Auto Power Shut-off (Sleep Mode), and Off (Night Operation). These modes reduce power consumption after periods of inactivity.
The device automatically transitions to energy-saving modes after a user-configurable "activation time" and requires a "return time" to become ready for printing again.
Operation Mode | Power Consumption (Watts) | Activation Time** (minutes) | Return Time*** (seconds) |
---|---|---|---|
Ready mode | 118 | 0 | 1 |
Preheat mode | 81 | 6 (1-120) | 6 |
Auto power shut-off (Sleep mode) | 0.5 | 11 (1-120) | 11 |
Off (night operation) | 0.2 | [Switch actuation] | - |
Power switch off (Plug-in off mode) | 0.1 | [Switch actuation] | - |
* Values measured in as-shipped conditions without accessories.
** Activation time is the period after printing ends until the device enters a mode. Figures in brackets indicate the adjustable range.
*** Return time is the duration for the device to become ready for printing.
The device can be switched on/off up to twice daily without damage. For complete power disconnection during extended non-use, unplug the power cord after switching off via the power button.
Energy Efficiency and Environmental Features
ENERGY STAR 3.0: The MX-M5051's typical weekly energy consumption is 0.79 kWh/week, based on standard usage cycles.
Energy Saving Tips: Shortening activation times speeds up entry into energy-saving modes, reducing costs. Avoid extending activation times, as this can increase power consumption and potentially exceed Blue Angel limits.
- Recycled Plastics: Uses 0-1% post-consumer recycled plastic.
- Duplex & N-up Printing: Factory settings promote duplex and N-up printing to reduce paper consumption.
- Recycled Paper: Compatible with recycled paper (EN 12281:2002).
