Introduction

With the Energy Star option insta lled in your printe r, you need to be
aware of some differences between your printer and models without
this option. The following inf ormat ion explains what t he Ene rgy Sta r
program is and how Energy Star-compliant printer s operate. You will
also find important informat ion regarding special disassem bly and
assembly instructions pertaining to your printer.

Energy Conservation

Your printer is compliant with US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Energy Star regulations. The EPA Energy Star
Computers program promotes the use of
energy-efficient personal computers,
monitors, and printers and the reduction of air
pollution caused by power generation.

Introduction

Operation

After a user-specified period of inactivity, the printer changes to a low­power state (the engine remai ns on, but the fuser turns off). When a
print job is received, the printer returns to normal power within 90 sec­onds.

» Note: The addition of some optional interfaces, in some combinations, may

cause the product to become non-compliant.

Configuration

The Energy Saver option specifies if and when the printer changes to
a low-power state. When an idle time is selected, t he printe r must
