Energy Star

The FP-150FP series copiers comply with Tier 2 of the Environmental Protection Agency’s
Energy Star Program. This voluntary program specifies certain energy consumption and usage
standards for copiers. These copiers will automatically “power down” after a specified period of
non-use. The use of these Energy Star compliant copiers will reduce energy consumption and
ultimately benefit the environment.

The default functions can be adjusted depending on your office requirements . Please see your
authorised Panasonic copier dealer for more details .
