Designation:F 1707 96(Reapproved 2002)Standard Practice forDetermining Energy Consumption of Facsimile Machines1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 1707;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 method by which electropho-tographic,direct-thermal,thermal transfer,or ink-jet facsimilemachines can be tested 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 757 Test Method for Determining Energy Consumption ofCopier and Copier-Duplicating Equipment22.2ANSI Standard:C 12.10Electromechanical Watthour Meters33.Terminology3.1 For definitions of terms used in this practice,seeTerminology F 335 and Test Method F 757.3.2 cycle outthe condition that exists when the machinehas finished sending or receiving a page,and has returned to astand-by mode.3.3 idle timethe amount of time that the machine is notsending or receiving when testing sending or receiving energy.3.4 jobreceiving or sending one or more pages withoutinterruption or delay between pages.3.5 machine energythe energy consumed by a facsimilemachine that is plugged in 24 h/day and turned on 10.5 h(seeNote 1),but is not sending,receiving,or making copies.NOTE1Some users may want to adjust this time if they do not turn offtheir facsimile machines.Therefore,the test should be performed for theplug-in and warm-up modes,but wont be included in the calculations.Ifthe user wants to include these modes in the calculations,the tester shouldrecalculate the numbers used in Section 10.3.6 nominal facsimiles received per daythe number ofstandard facsimiles received on a single machine during astandard work day.3.7 nominal facsimiles sent per daythe number of stan-dard facsimiles sent on a single machine during a standardwork day.3.8 receivingthe machine condition that exists from thebeginning to the end of the cycle that receives a page from anoutside source and prints that page while receiving.3.9 receiving energy the energy consumed during a des-ignated receiving mode exclusive of stand-by and plug-inenergy.3.10 sendingthe machine condition that exists from thebeginning to the end of the cycle that sends a page to an outsidesource.3.11 sending energythe energy consumed during a desig-nated sending mode exclusive of stand-by and plug-in energy.3.12 sending receiving timethe amount of time that thenominal jobs are run when testing sending and receivingenergy.3.13 stand-bythe condition that exists when the machineis not sending,receiving,or copying,has reached operatingconditions,but has not yet entered into energy-saver mode.3.14 warm-up modethe condition that exists when themachine is turned on from a plug-in mode and prior to sending,receiving,or copying.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 The standard energy consumption rating is determinedfor a facsimile machine while the machine is in a simulatedcustomer installation performing one eighth of a typical daysjobs(using a watt-hour meter).The typical days jobs(size andnumber of pages)are based on a standard volume(see Table 1).The simulated customer installation can be calculated withactual usage data,or can be based on the following assump-tions,that the printer will typically:4.1.1 Be plugged in to a live power line for thirty 24-h days(720 h)/month.4.1.2 Never be turned on and off(see Note 1).4.1.3 Be left on 24 h/day for 30 days of each standard workmonth.4.1.4 Be in an energy-saver mode some amount of timedepending on the nominal volume and use from Table 1,the1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F05 on BusinessImaging Products and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F05.04 onElectrostatic Imaging Products.Current edition approved June 10,1996.Published August 1996.2Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 15.09.3Available from American National Standards Institute,11 W.42nd St.,13thFloor,New York,NY 10036.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.sending receiving time from Table 2,and the energy-saverdelay time.4.1.5 Perform a typical days jobs for each of the 30workdays each month.4.2 The energy consumption per page or the typical monthsenergy consumption rating(kilowatt hour(kWh)per month)are determined using calculations based on the test data.5.Significance and Use5.1 This practice provides a procedure for measuring theenergy consumption of the product and associated accessoriesin var
