Introduction
What is Energy Star
After long periods of idl eness, Energy Star
Saver Mode or turn themsel ves off. This function can reduce the annual
energy costs for the unit by up to 60%.
Systems with a high copying speed automatical ly switch to 2-sided
copying mode. This red uces the paper costs and th e volume of paper
consumed.
Did you know that manufacturing a sheet of paper requi res 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 system complies with the Energy Star
Use of Recycled Paper
This system is suited for processing recycled paper that meets the
requirements o f ENV 12281 or DIN 193 09. For details, consult your local
