Minolta EP6000 User manual

As an Energy Star Partner, Minolta has determined that

this copier meets the Energy Star Guidelines for Energy

Efficiency.

Energy Star Copiers have a feature that allows them to automatically turn off or "go to sleep" after a

period of inactivity, ensuring night and weekend shut off. This auto-feature can reduce a copier’s

annual electricity costs by over 60 percent. In addition, high speed copiers will be set to

automatically make double sided copies. An organization’s paper costs can be reduce by $60 a month

and the volume of paper sent into the waste stream will decline. It takes 10 times more energy to

produce a piece of paper than it does to make a single copy on a copier. Therefore, using less paper

also means decreased national energy consumption.
