As an ENERGY STAR

Partner, we have determined that this machine meets
the ENERGY STAR
®
Guidelines for energy efficiency.
What is an ENERGY STAR® Product?
An ENERGY STAR
®
product has a special feature that allows it to
automatically switch to a "low-power mode" after a period of inactivity. An
ENERGY STAR
®
product uses energy more efficiently, saves you money on
utility bills and helps protect the environment.
Low Power
This function conserves energy by lowering the power consumption to 95 W
in standby mode. In the standard setting, Low Power operates automatically
when 15 minutes (bizhub 500)/1 minute (bizhub 420) have elapsed after
completion of the last copy, with the copier remaining in the ready to copy
state during that time.
The time period for the low Power function can be set for 1 to 240 minutes in
1 minute increments.
Sleep
This function achieves further energy conservation by partially turning the
power supply OFF, thereby reducing energy consumption to 2.8 W or less.
In the standard setting, Sleep follows Low Power, operating automatically
when 90 minutes (bizhub 500)/15 minutes (bizhub 420) have elapsed after
completion of the last copy, with the copier remaining in the ready to copy
state during that time.
The time period for the Sleep function can be set for 1 to 240 minutes in 1
minute increments.
Automatic Duplex Copying
To reduce paper consumption, use this function to make double-sided
(duplex) copies, automatically.
We recommend that you utilize the Low Power function, Sleep function, and
Automatic Duplex Copying function.
