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.
