Does shredder go to "standby" after some time?(blue light turn off),but then "wake up" automatically if one tries to shred something? The 79Ci does.

Yes this works the same as the 79ci, which we owned and burned out with very heavy use over a short period of time. The 99ci is designed to handle a heavier load but it still heats up with heavy continuous use. So you really need to give it a good cool off according to the directions.

From the Fellowes website:Fellowes' Energy Savings System maximizes shredder energy savings 100% of the time - both in and out of use.In Use Savings - performance and power supply efficiencyOut of Use Savings - Standby and Sleep Modeshttp://www.fellowes.com/us/en/Products/Pages/product-details.aspx?prod=US-3229901

I've never just left it on after using it to find out. I don't leave any appliance turned on once I'm finished using it just as a precaution against getting it "fried" during a storm.

UPDATE. I contacted Fellowes directly and they said that all the 99ci manufactured after October 2013 have the energy saving system (ESS) that puts the shredder to "standby" after a few minutes of nonuse.

there a switch just on the inside when you activate the shredder it might be catching on a piece of paper that is caught. and not releasing after it has passed.

This shredder does not have a continuous feed per se. That is, it does not have any kind of apparatus or tray (like on a fax machine) that would allow you to load say a large number of pieces to be shredded, and have either gravity or a roller (like what they have in small printers) pull the product down into the shredder. You can continuously feed pieces to be shredded, one at a time, manually into the shredder and it will handle that. Hope that helps. Overall, it is a very good shredder and very quiet.

Printer powers on and prints when I hit the print button...powers off and sleeps in about 5minuites...The power is notcompletely off but in a sleep mode

Unfortunately I do not recall hearing or seeing the hard drive power down or stop when idled for an extended period. However, a power switch is available to manually shut down when necessary.

I have only had my shredder for a short time so I haven't had to deal with a jam so far. Sorry to hear you are having problems. Hope you get the help you need!

The unit has a red LED for power and a blue LED for activity. The red is always on, the blue one does go off if there is no disk activity for a period of time. ( Sorry, I didn't measure the time) Also, I have an HHD, and if you check the unit up the disk is not spinning.So the short answer is : I believe it does, but the unit is always powered up unless turned off ( Rocker switch on the back of the unit) But the disk does spin down until it is used once again.

That would depend on how many sheets you are shredding at a time. But it is definitely not industrial, and will stop on a relatively small jam (but can be reversed.) It does have a sensor that will turn on/off between feeds. It is slower than most strip shredders that I have seen. (Back to your question) I doubt that you would get 5 minutes of continuous shredding, especially if you are feeding 8+ sheets at a time.

Yes. Mine is in standby mode until the TV is turned on I switch to Bluetooth mode to play music from my ipod. The power light is not on all the time, only lights momentarily when something happens such turning on the TV or switching modes.

I'm not sure...I don't leave it on when it's not in use. I only turn it on when I go to back up my files and then I power down after I'm done/eject.

Ours did that for awhile and we would power it down and up, make sure the bin was completely empty. After a couple of weeks it stopped doing it and hasn't done it since.

Hello, I can't compare to the 79Ci, but can tell you that I am very happy with this shredder. I use it all the time in my household, it does not wake up the Baby, I can say that much. This shredder has done a great job for me and I am happy with the purchase. Hope that helps. Thanks.

The same thing happened to me after a power surge and outage. I shut down my computer and printer and after wiaiting a few minutes restarted both and have had no more problems.

I don't know about a trouble-shooter, but I do know that my unit quit working and I thought it was all over with...I took off the lid and noticed that there was a piece that is on the lid that needs to be touching the body of the unit in order for it to work...disconnect the shredder from the bottom of the can, then reconnect it, and maybe the little lever will be connected and the green light will light up.

I have two of them and love them. I believe the power button is binary: either on or off. However, I do know that drives do power down when the unit is powered on but the computer is sleeping. And they spin back up correctly when the computer wakes up.

Do not turn off the printer when not in use. When you turn it back on it uses up ink in the start-up process. Just leave it on most the time. The energy cost for standby will be less than the ink cost.

Same thing happens to mine. However as soon as I turn on a connected device it lights back up and is connected so I think it's probably a power save mode.
