POWER CONSUMPTION SIMULATOR FOR MULTI-FUNCTION DEVICES

摘要

The present disclosure teaches a device and method for simulating energy consumption by a multi-functional printing device. The device includes a processor and a computer readable memory, the memory including instructions for causing the processor to perform the method. The method includes loading an activity log comprising a plurality of jobs, loading a first strategy from a plurality of strategies, simulating each of the plurality of jobs at the printing device according to the first strategy, determining a first amount of power required by the printing device to perform the plurality of jobs, determining a second amount of power consumed by the printing device between performing the plurality jobs, creating a report including estimated power consumption by the multi-functional printing device to complete the plurality of jobs according to the first strategy, and causing the report to be displayed.
