ENERGY STAR
The
ENERGY STAR Program has been established
to encourage the widespread and voluntary use of
energy-efficient technologies that reduce energy
consumption and prevent pollution. As an
®
Program
ENERGY
STAR Partner, we have determined that this product
meets the
efficiency grounding it on the following features.
Auto Low Power
This function conserves energy by lowering the set temperature of the fixing
unit. In the standard setting, Auto Low Power operates automatically when 1
minute have elapsed after completion of the last copy, with the copier remaining
in the ready to copy state during that time.
The time period for the Auto Low Power function can be set for 1 minute, 5
minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120
minutes, or 240 minutes. See p. 2-20 for details.
Automatic Shut-Off
This function achieves further energy conservation by partially turning OFF the
power supply, thereby reducing energy consumption to 20W or less. In the
standard setting, Automatic Shut-Off follows Auto Low Power, operating
automatically when 15 minutes have elapsed after completion of the last copy,
with the copier remaining in the ready to copy state during that time.
The time period for the Automatic Shut-Off function can be set for 1 minute, 5
minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120
minutes or 240 minutes. See p. 2-20 for details.
ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy
Automatic Duplex Copying
To reduce paper consumption, use this function to make double-sided (duplex)
copies, automatically. See p. 3-18 for details.
We recommend that you utilize the Auto Low Power function, the Automatic
Shut-Off function, and the Automatic Duplex Copying function.
