Environmental Benefits of Duplex Printing
Most Xerox devices 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 device can be used to print on both recycled and virgin paper, approved to an environmental
stewardship scheme, which complies with EN 12281 or a similar quality standard. Lighter weight paper
(60 g/m ), which contains less raw material and thus save resources per print, may be used in certain
2
applications. We encourage you to check if this is suitable for your printing needs.
Power Consumption and Activation Time
The amount of electricity that a device consumes depends on the way the device is used. This device is
designed and configured to enable you to reduce your electricity usage.
Power Saver modes are enabled on your device to reduce energy consumption. After the last print, the
device transitions to Ready mode. In this mode, the device can print again immediately. If the device is
not used for a specified period, the device transitions to Low Power mode, then to Sleep mode. In these
modes, to enable reduced-power consumption, only essential functions remain active.
The device takes longer to produce the first print after it exits the Power Saver modes than it takes to
print in Ready mode. This delay is the result of the system waking up and is typical of most imaging
devices 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.
To change the Power Saver settings, refer to
Note: Changing the default Power Saver activation times can result in an overall higher energy
consumption of the device. Before you turn off Power Saver modes or set a long activation time,
consider the increase in device power consumption.
