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. Continuing to use the duplex function will reduce the environmental impact of your work.
However, should you require simplex/1-sided printing, you may change the print settings in the print
driver.
Paper Types
This product can be used 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/m²), which contains less raw material and thus save resources per print, may be used in certain
applications. We encourage 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:

Power Consumption and Activation Time
The amount of electricity that a product consumes depends on the way the device is used. This product
is designed and configured to enable you to reduce your electricity usage.
After the last print, the device switches to Ready mode. In this mode, the device can print again
immediately. If the product is not used for a period of time, the device switches to a Power Saver mode.
In these modes, to enable reduced product power consumption, only essential functions remain active.
The product takes slightly longer to produce the first print after it exits Power Saver mode than it takes in
Ready mode. This delay is the result of the system waking up from Power Saver mode and is typical of
most imaging products on the market.
You can set a longer activation time or completely deactivate the Power Saver mode. This device can
take longer to switch to a lower energy level.
Note:
Changing the default Power Saver activation times can result in an overall higher energy
consumption of the product.
