Introduction

What is Energy Star

After long periods of idleness, Energy Star®copiers switch to Energy
Saver Mode or turn themselves off. This function can reducethe annual
energy costs for the unit by up to 60%.

Copierswitha highcopyingspeed automaticallyswitch to2-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 timesas
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.
