It's a proximity sensor so it can wake up in 1 second when someone goes to use it, doesn't actually wake the machine up without been touched just allows almost instant startup.
cool, i was thinking it woke the machine up when walking up to it...so i guess its doing its thing.
thanks!
It gets things started but does not bring the display up until you either set an original in the DF, lift the DF or touch the display. The Aficio 551/700 had a motion sensor that brought the machine completely out of sleep mode every time anyone walked past it. It was a major pain in the ass.
Excuse me, but I did not understand why the sensor does not activate the machine?
thanks for your patience
It's purpose is purely for background pre-recovery.
Not to actually wake the machine from sleep / energy save.
The idea being from the end users perspective is the machine reaches the ' Ready ' state almost instantly.
When in fact it actually had a few seconds head start when it detected motion up to 6ft away.
Back in the day of the 551/700 we mentioned before, the machine actually did come completely awake, with the display turning back on.
Not only was it a waste of energy, but it used to freak people out.
We had more than a few calls for "It's turning itself on! Make it stop!"
BTW...There is an explanation in the service manual as to how the feature operates, I think it is about 3 pages. I actually sent those pages to a customer who was asking about it.

It looks like the sensor pre-triggers the android waking up in the background when someone approaches the machine without switching on the display.
Hard to explain for end user. The machine is ready to use just after screen touching without a lag

There are three phases in the operation of the proximity sensor:• First, the sensor detects the presence of the operator within the arc in front of the machine, and then
signals the machine to leave the STR mode (or Engine OFF mode) and enter the Pre-recovery
mode.
• Second, as soon as the machine enters the Pre-recovery mode it resets the Engine Off mode timer
for 5 min. If the operator does not touch the machine for 5 minutes, the machine slips back into the
Engine Off mode. If the operator touches the LCD, or opens and closes the ADF or front door, etc.,
the machine shifts to Standby mode.
• Third, once the machine enters Standby mode, if the operator does nothing to start operation, the
machine will gradually step down from Standby mode to Lower Energy mode, Quiet mode, Engine
Off mode, and then finally to STR mode.
