Energy Star (ENERGY STAR®) Program
We have determined as a participating company in the International Energy Star Program that
this product is compliant with the standards laid out in the International Energy Star Program.
About the International Energy Star Program
International Energy Star Program has as its basic goals the promotion of efficient energy use
and the reduction of the environmental pollution that accompanies energy consumption by
promoting the manufacture and sale of products that fulfill program standards.
International Energy Star Program standards require that multifunction devices come equipped
with a Low Power Mode where printer and fax functions remain in a waiting state but energy
consumption is still reduced after a certain amount of time elapses since the device was last
used, as well as a Sleep Mode where printer and fax functions remain in a waiting state but
power consumption is still reduced to a minimum when there is no activity with the device within
a set amount of time. This product is equipped with the following features as a result of its
compliance with International Energy Star Program standards.
Low Power Mode
The device automatically enters Low Power Mode when 15 minutes have passed since the
device was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before Low Power Mode
is activated may be lengthened. See Low-Power Mode on page 3-35 for more information.
Sleep Mode
The device automatically enters Sleep Mode when 45 minutes have passed since the device
was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before Sleep Mode is activated
may be lengthened. For more information see Sleep Mode on page 3-36.
Automatic 2-Sided Copy Function
The Energy Star Program encourages the use of 2-sided copying which reduces the load on the
environment and this device includes 2-sided copying as a standard function. For example, by
copying two 1-sided originals onto a single sheet of paper as a 2-sided copy, it is possible to
lower the amount of paper used. For more information refer to Duplex Mode on page 3-11.
Paper Recycling
The Energy Star Program encourages the use of environmentally friendly recycled paper. Your
sales or service representative can provide information about recommended paper types.
