Sleep Mode, how much electric is used in sleep mode?

[selfring]

A general question:  In sleep mode about what is the electric consumption of the printer per year if the printer gets only occasional use?

Your printer power consumption is:

5 amps x 230 volts = 1150 watts = 1.15 kilowatts

Your print volume per hour is:

45 pages x 60 minutes = 2700

Your printer prints for:

100,000 pages per month / 2700 per hour = ~ 37 hours.

We’ll make a few more assumptions here. the primary is that your printer is on standby mode for regarding 75 % of the time that it's not printing. The second is that your printer is in sleep mode for 25 % of the time that it's not printing.

This means that your printer is on standby for:

720 hours (per month) – 37 hours of printing x 75% = 512.25 hours

This also means that your printer is sleeping for:

720 hours (per month) – 37 hours of printing x 25% = 170.75 hours
