Introduction
What is Energy Star
After long periods of idleness, Energy Star
Saver Mode or turn themselves off. This function can reduce the annual
energy costs for the unit by up to 60%.
Systems with a high copying speed automatically switch to 2-sided
copying mode. This reduces the costs for paper 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 system complies with the Energy Star
Use of Recycled Paper
This system is designed to use recycled paper that conforms to ENV
12281 or DIN 19309. Your local MINOLTA representative will be pleased
to provide more information.

If side A of the paper format is shorter than side B, this is referred to as
lengthwise. The size label is specified with an “R” e.g. A4R.
If side A of the paper format is longer than side B, this is referred to as
crosswise. The size is not identified in any more detail, e.g. A4.
