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 copies come equipped with a Low
Power Mode where energy consumption is reduced after a certain amount of time elapses since
the device was last used, as well as an Off Mode where the device automatically turns itself off
after there is no activity within a set amount of time. When the copier includes printer and fax
functions, the printer and fax must enter a Low Power Mode where power consumption is
automatically reduced after a certain amount of time elapses since they were last used, and they
must also support a Sleep Mode where power consumption is reduced to a minimum when
there is no activity 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. Refer to Low-Power Mode on page 3-19 for more information.
Off Mode
The device automatically enters Off Mode when 90 minutes have passed since the device was
last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before Off Mode is activated may be
lengthened. For more information refer to Sleep Mode on page 3-20.
Sleep Mode (If the copier has printer and/or facsimile function)
The device automatically enters Sleep Mode when 90 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 refer to Sleep Mode on page 3-20.
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.
