Energy consumption
The energy consumption of electrical devices is a crucial aspect of their ecological efficiency.
Considerable progress has been made over the past few years in terms of minimising the energy consumption of printers, fax machines and copier systems. This is vital in order to preserve our natural resources.
In 1992, the US Environmental Protection Agency launched the ‘Energy Star’ energy-saving programme. This programme was officially introduced in the European Union in 2001. It covers standards for the energy consumption of systems in ‘sleep’ mode. Systems which fulfil these requirements are allowed to bear the ‘Energy Star’ mark.
