1.2 What Is Energy Star

®

?

After long periods of idleness, Energy Star

®

copiers switch to Energy

Saver Mode or turn themselves off. This function can reduce the annual

energy costs for the unit by up to 60%.

Copierswitha highcopyingspeedautomaticallyswitchto 2-sidedcopying

mode. This reduces the costs for copy media and the volume of paper

consumed.

Did you know that manufacturing a sheet of paper requires 10 times as

much energy as making a copy?

The conservation of paper thus also has a direct global effect on the

conservation of energy.

This copier complies with the Energy Star

®

energy efficiency criteria.
