8514A, VGA, and Super
Energy Star Compliant
Your EPSON monitor complies with the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s Energy Star program, which promotes the
manufacture of energy-efficient printers, computers, and
monitors. If your computer is Energy Star compliant, the
EPSON Super VGA Color Monitor automatically enters a
low-power, standby mode when the computer stops sending
input signals to the monitor. The power indicator at the front
right of the monitor turns amber when the monitor is in this
low-power state.

The EPA estimates that if all desktop computers, monitors,
printers, and other peripheral devices met Energy Star
standards, energy cost savings would exceed $1 billion
annually and carbon monoxide emissions would be reduced by
20 million tons.
The Energy Star emblem does not represent EPA endorsement of any
product or service.
