![]() ![]() ![]() To put it another way: this printer is on 12 hours a day, for 6 days a week. ![]() To save a single Canadian dollar, they would need to turn this device off for nearly 1,500 hours. The printer uses only 10W in standby, which works out as $0.00069/hour here. We are based in Vancouver, where electricity is cheap (only $0.069/kW.h). In addition, people in the morning often have to wait a much longer time to retrieve their documents, as they usually only discover the printer is still turned off at the back when they walk up to it to pick up their work. I am not convinced that fully disconnecting it from the power every single day is such a good idea- as takes much longer to start printing in the mornings, and probably wastes toner when performing these extra warming-up/calibration steps. The printer has no power over night and, it seems, is forced to run extra maintenance routines when it is turned back on the next day. They are trying to reduce their impact on the environment, but it doesn't make much difference (we have cheap, environmentally-friendly hydroelectricity), and this just causes a lot of inconvenience in the mornings. Right off -using the hard power switch on the back. At an office where I work, there is a Samsung CLP-310 laser printer:
