Energy Star
The DP-130/135/150 copier complies with Tier 2 of the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Program. This voluntary program specifies certain energy consumption and usage standards for copiers. These copiers will automatically “power down” after a specified period of non-use.
The use of these Energy Star compliant copiers will reduce energy consumption and ultimately benefit the environment.
The default functions can be adjusted depending on your office requirements. Please see your authorized Panasonic copier dealer for more details.
