Specific power consumption information on the Dell B5460dn

The amount of electricity a device consumes depends as much on its properties as much as it does the way you use it. The device is
designed in a way to allow the user to reduce energy consumption. The device immediately switches to a low power Ready mode after
every print job. In this low power Ready mode, the device can immediately respond to print jobs. If no print jobs occur after 5 minutes
or an additional 25 minutes, the device switches to an Energy mode (2-tier). In the Energy Saving modes, the device can respond with
negligible delay to print jobs. This device meets the stringent requirements of the Blue Angel Eco Label in default timeout and recovery
time. Please see www.blauer-engel.de for more information.

The product is designed with a power switch located on the back of the printer. The power switch is accessible to the user even when
paper handling options, paper trays, a duplex unit, or a finisher are used.

The following table shows the individual values of power consumption as well as default timeouts and recovery times. All values are
preset upon delivery. With these values, the device meets the Blue Angel Requirements.
