Energy Star Program. This voluntary program specifies specific energy consumption and usage 
standards for copiers. These copiers will automatically “power down” after a specified period of 
non-use. The use of these Energy Star compliant copiers will reduce energy consumption and 
ultimately benefit the environment.
