ENERGY STAR Program

ENERGY STAR^® Program Requirements for Imaging Equipment

The ENERGY STAR^® Program Requirements for Imaging Equipment encourage energy conservation by promoting energy efficient computers and other office equipment.

The program backs the development and dissemination of products that feature energy saving functions.

It is an open program in which manufacturers participate voluntarily.

Targeted products are computers, monitors, printers, facsimiles, copiers, scanners, and multifunction devices. Energy Star standards and logos are internationally uniform.

Low Power mode and Off mode or Sleep mode

This product automatically lowers its power consumption when it is not operated for a fixed time (standard setting time: 1 minute). This is called “Off mode” on a single function copying machine, and “Sleep mode” on a multiple function machine equipped with optional facsimile and printing functions.

Off mode: Same as the condition when the operation switch is turned off.
Sleep mode: Same as the condition when the operation switch is turned off. Receiving fax messages and printing from a computer are possible.

If you want to operate this product while it is in either of these modes, do one of the following:

Turn on the operation switch.
Place an original in the Auto Document Feeder (ADF).
Lift and lower the exposure glass cover or the ADF.

The default interval before entering Off mode or Sleep mode can be adjusted. To change it, see “Timer Settings”, General Settings Guide.

Duplex Priority

We recommend the duplex function. This function is less of a burden to the environment. For applicable machines, duplex function (one-sided originals two-sided copies) can be selected preferentially when the operation switch or the [Clear Modes] key is pressed, or the machine resets automatically.
