PRINTER
First Claim
1. A printer having operational modes including a sleep mode in which power consumption is saved, the printer comprising:
- an operation display unit configured to receive data inputted by a user and to display a notification to the user;
a sleep-mode setting-value table in which a warm-up time from the sleep mode and an estimated amount of power consumption per certain unit of time in the sleep mode are stored in association with each combination of values for setting items to set up conditions of the sleep mode; and
a first setup unit configured to, when setting up the conditions of the sleep mode, extract the estimated amount of power consumption and the warm-up time in reference to the sleep-mode setting-value table by using, as a key, values of the setting items inputted by the user through the operation display unit, display the extracted estimated amount of power consumption and warm-up time in the operation display unit, and confirm the values of the setting items in the operation display unit as the set-up values in response to an operation by the user through the operation display unit.

Abstract
A printer having operational modes including a sleep mode, includes, an operation display unit, a sleep-mode setting-value table in which a warm-up time from the sleep mode and an estimated amount of power consumption per certain unit of time in the sleep mode are stored in association with values for setting items to set up conditions of the sleep mode, and a first setup unit. The first setup unit is configured to, when setting up the conditions of the sleep mode, extract the estimated amount of power consumption and the warm-up time in reference to the sleep-mode setting-value table by using, as a key, values of the setting items inputted through the operation display unit, and display the extracted estimated amount of power consumption and warm-up time in the operation display unit.

10. A printer having operational modes including a sleep mode in which power consumption is saved, the printer comprising:
-
an operation display unit configured to receive data inputted by a user and to display a notification to the user; an eco mode setting-value table in which eco mode levels with different power saving levels are stored and values of setting items, an estimated amount of power consumption, and a warm-up time which are set for each eco mode level are stored; and a second setup unit configured to, when setting up the conditions of the sleep mode, extract the values of the setting items in reference to the eco mode setting-value table by using, as a key, the eco mode level inputted by the user through the operation display unit, and confirm the extracted values of the setting items as the set-up values. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18)
