Introduction
What is Energy Star
After long periods of idleness, Energy Star®copiers switch to Energy
Saver Mode or turn themselves off. This allows a yearly decrease in
electricity costs of up to 60%.
Copierswithahighcopyingspeedautomaticallyswitch to 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.
Use of Recycled Paper
This unit is suited for processing recycled paper that meets the
requirementsof ENV 12281 or DIN 19309. For details, consult your local
MINOLTA partner.
