Environmental Benefits of Duplex Printing
Most Xerox
®
products have duplex printing, also known as 2-sided printing, capability. This enables you to print on
both sides of the paper automatically, and therefore helps to reduce the use of valuable resources by reducing your
paper consumption. The Lot 4 Imaging Equipment agreement requires that on models greater than or equal to 40
ppm color or greater than or equal to 45 ppm monochrome the duplex function has been auto-enabled, during the
setup and driver installation. Some Xerox models below these speed bands may also be enabled with 2-sided
printing settings defaulted on at the time of install. Use of the duplex function will reduce the environmental impact
of your work. However, you must require simplex or 1-sided printing, you can change the print settings in the print
driver.
Paper Types
You can use this product to print on both recycled and virgin paper, approved to an environmental stewardship
scheme, which complies with EN12281 or a similar quality standard. Lighter weight paper (60 g/m
2
), which contains
less raw material and thus saves resources per print, can be used in certain applications. We recommend you to
check if this is suitable for your printing needs.
ENERGY STAR
The ENERGY STAR program is a voluntary scheme to promote the development and purchase of
energy-efficient models, which help to reduce environmental impact. Details on the ENERGY STAR
program and models qualified to ENERGY STAR can be found at the following website: www.
energystar.gov.
The ENERGY STAR and ENERGY STAR mark are registered United States trademarks.
The ENERGY STAR Imaging Equipment Program is a team effort between United States, European
Union, Japanese governments, and the office equipment industry to promote energy-efficient
copiers, printers, fax, multifunction printers, personal computers, and monitors. Reducing product
energy consumption helps combat smog, acid rain, and long-term changes to the climate by
decreasing the emissions that result from generating electricity.

Power Consumption and Activation Time
The amount of electricity that a device consumes depends on the way the device is used. This device is designed
and configured to enable you to reduce your electricity usage.
Power Saver modes are enabled on your device to reduce energy consumption. After the last print, the device goes
to Ready mode. In this mode, the device can print again immediately. If the device is not used for a specified
period, the device goes to Low Power mode, then to Sleep mode. In these modes, to enable reduced-power
consumption, only essential functions remain active. The device takes longer to produce the first print after it exits
the Power Saver modes than it takes to print in Ready mode. This delay is the result of the system waking up and is
typical of most imaging devices on the market.
To save power, you can enable Auto Power Off mode on your device. If Auto Power Off mode is enabled, you can
configure the mode as follows:
