Overview of the Océ TCS500 scanner timers

Introduction

You can use timers to define the behaviour of the Océ TCS500 scanner if the Océ TCS500 scanner remains unused for a time.

The Océ TCS500 scanner timers

The Océ TCS500 scanner has three timers that are always enabled. You can define the time-out settings for each timer in the Océ Settings Editor.

■ The set time-out of an opened set in a copy job.

When the scanner remains unused for a time after a set was opened, the set closes automatically. (see ‘The set timer’ on page 55)

■ The panel time-out of the scanner operator panel.

When the scanner operator panel remains unused for a time, the scanner operator panel returns to the home screen automatically. The Océ TCS500 scanner is ready for the next user. (see ‘The panel timer’ on page 56)

■ The sleep mode time-out of the scanner.

When the Océ TCS500 scanner remains unused for a time, the Océ TCS500 scanner enters the sleep mode automatically and saves energy. When the Océ TCS500 scanner enters the sleep mode, the job settings are set to default. (see

‘The sleep mode timer’ on page 57)

Automatic behaviour of the unused Océ TCS500 scanner

The automatic behaviour of the scanner when the scanner is unused for a while depends on two items, the values of the time-out settings and the status of the scanner.

The time-out settings

You are advised to define the time-out settings in the following order.

■ Define the set time-out to the lowest value according to the sleep mode time-out

and the scanner operator panel time-out setting.

■ Define the scanner operator panel time-out to the middle value according to the

sleep mode time-out and the set time-out setting.

■ Define the sleep mode time-out as the highest value according to the set time-out

and scanner operator panel time-out setting.
