Office Equipment: What Works
Power Management Controls and Indicators
• Suspend mode is known as standby mode under the Microsoft Windows 98 operating system. For systems with ACPI compliance, suspend mode is known as sleep mode” (Dell)
• stand-by mode” — Fully ready to copy but not copying. (ASTM Copier Test Procedure)• “Stand-By — … an optional operating state of minimal power reduction …” (VESA Standard)
• “Standby power — The lowest power mode in which the appliance is plugged in …” (LBNL-Leaking/Standby Electricity)
• “Standby is … the lowest power state where the system is responsive to interrupts …” (PowerPC Reference Platform)
• "Suspend is currently ignored under Windows 95/98 and Windows 2000 because the terminology is ill-defined. “ (Microsoft)
• There is no distinction between Suspend and Standby in OnNow as there was previously under APM definitions" (Microsoft)

Problem• Existing Power Management Controls are:
– Hidden, Confusing, Absent
• Power Management Enabling Rates Low• Lots of Wasted Energy• Poor User Image of Energy Efficiency,
Product Quality
Power Management Controls and Indicators
Solution• Create broadly similar interfaces for power / power
management control across all office equipment and consumer electronics
• Accomplish this by creating a voluntary standard for interface elements
• Institutionalize the standard through international standards, industry standards, and marketing to industry

SynopsisGoal:
To save energy, increase enabling rates of existing power management capability in office equipment.
Method: Make power management more consistent and intuitive to users across all office equipment (via a voluntary standard).

Overall Plan• Existing Devices / Interfaces
• Develop New Standards (Voluntary)
• Market These to Institutions– Manufacturers (PAC)– International Standards Organizations– Industry Institutions

Provides project with Guidance, Review, Credibility
Topics: High Priority, #1• Basic symbols and switches & buttons
• Basic indicators
• Changing power states
• Transition indicators
• Underlying archetype of power management behavior, including basic terms
