Energy Star

The DP-2000/2500/3000 copier complies with Tier 2 of the En vironmental 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 authorized Panasonic copier dealer f or more details.
