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.
