Designation:F 757 01Standard Test Method forDetermining Energy Consumption of Copier andCopier-Duplicating Equipment1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 757;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This procedure provides a test method by which copiers,copier-duplicators,accessories,and similar office imagingdevices may be rated for energy consumption.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:F 335 Terminology Relating to Electrostatic Copying2F 995 Test Method for Estimating Toner Usage in CopiersUtilizing Dry Two-Component Developer23.Terminology3.1DefinitionsFor definitions of terms used in this testmethod,see Terminology F 335.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 accessoriesany device that expands the capabilityof the equipment beyond its normal operating mode.Anaccessory for purposes of energy tests shall be defined as onethat is under the control of the operator.3.2.2 automatic shut-off modevariable energy state intowhich the machine can be programmed to place itself after aperiod of time of non-use or at a specified time.3.2.3 copier speed,first copyone of the convenient levelsfor which the copiers speed is measured.This is the amount oftime the copier takes to make the first copy of a job.3.2.4 copier speed,multi copyone of the convenientlevels for which the copiers speed is measured.This is theamount of time the copier takes to make multiple copies afterthe first copy of a job.3.2.5 copyingthe machine condition that exists from thebeginning to the end of the cycle that produces a copy orcopies.3.2.6 copying energythe amount of energy needed inexcess of stand-by mode energy during a designated copyingmode exclusive of plug-in and warm-up mode.3.2.7 copying timethe amount of time that the nominaljobs are run when testing copying energy.3.2.8 cycle outthe condition which exists when the ma-chine has finished copying,and has returned to a stand-bymode.3.2.9 energy-saver recovery timethe amount of time thatthe machine takes to come out of the energy-saver mode.3.2.10 energy-saver modethe condition that exists whenthe machine is not making copies and is consuming less powerthan when the machine is in stand-by mode.The machine goesinto this mode a period of time after it finishes copying.Widely-used International Energy Star Program contributed torefer to this mode as lowpower mode.It specifies that themachine starts passing to the energy-saver mode from thestand-by mode within 15 min.In compliance with the EnergyStar Program,this document provides that the machine stays inthe stand-by mode for 15 min until the start of passing to theenergy-saver mode.3.2.11energy-saver timethe amount of time that themachine is in an energy-saver mode.3.2.12 jobmaking copies from one or more originalswithout interruption or delay between originals.3.2.13 machine energythe energy consumed by a copierthat is plugged-in 24 h/day and turned on 9 h but that is notmaking copies.3.2.14 nominal copies per daythe number of nominalcopies produced on a single machine during a nominal copyingday.3.2.15 nominal volumeone of the convenient levels intowhich the entire range of monthly volumes have been divided.3.2.16 plug-in modethe condition that exists when themachine is connected to an appropriate electrical source and isnot turned on.3.2.17 recovery energythe amount of energy needed inexcess of energy-saver mode energy to pass from the energy-saver mode to the stand-by mode.3.2.18 run modea particular combination of originals perjob and copies per original.3.2.19 standard copya sheet imaged on one side thatmeasures 812by 11 in.(216 by 280 mm).1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee F05 on BusinessCopy Products and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F05.04 onElectrostatic Copy Products.Current edition approved Dec.10,2001.Published February 2002.Originallypublished as F 757 82.Last previous edition F 757 94e1.2Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 15.09.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.3.2.20 standard monththirty 24-h days.3.2.21 standard work day9 h.3.2.21.1 DiscussionSince the International Energy StarProgram is widely used nowadays,standard copiers have anautomatic shut-off.The standard work day was changed from10.5 to 9 h.3.2.22 standard work month22 standard work days.3.2.23 stand-by modethe condition that exists when themachine is not making copies,has r
