Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup
Color Multifunction Printers
Environmental Impact
How does an MFP put you on a path to a greener workplace?
impact can be assessed in a variety of ways. Does it have a lower total carbon
footprint over the product lifecycle? Does it produce less waste? Can you get
consistent image quality on environmentally friendly media?
Solid ink waste vs.
laser waste
Cartridge-free solid ink
is a true consumable;
no empty toner cartridges
to dispose or recycle.
The ColorQube 9200 series
produces 90 percent less
waste during use than a
comparable laser device.
Solid Ink = 88 lbs
Laser = 815 lbs
Total waste produced from printing
22,000 pages per month for 4 years.

Xerox ColorQube 9201/9202/9203 Evaluator Guide
How the ColorQube™
9201/9202/9203 exceeds
the environmental impact
requirement:
Energy usage is only a small part of a
product's total impact to the environment.
Experts agree that a product's carbon
footprint is a more complete measure
of its cradle-to-grave impact on
the environment.
Cartridge-free solid ink sticks avoid the
excessive packaging of toner cartridges.
That means fewer resources are used and
less energy is invested in manufacturing
and transportation. An independent 3rd
party reviewed the life-cycle analysis
for the ColorQube 9200 series from
manufacturing to end of life. The results?
90 percent less waste in your office and
a smaller carbon footprint across the
product life cycle*.
Solid ink stick packaging is made from
post consumer waste that can be recycled
locally where options are available.
Compared to the multiple imaging units
required throughout the life of a typical
xerographic device, the ColorQube 9200
series has only one customer replaceable
component—a long life Cleaning Unit
Environmental
with an average yield of 200,000
prints. Naturally, it can be recycled
through the Xerox Green World Alliance
(www.xerox.com/gwa).
The Intelligent Ready feature on the
ColorQube 9200 series learns your
workgroup's usage patterns and moves
to low power mode when you're less likely
to need it and restores to print ready level
when your office is busy.
Because Solid Ink produces brilliant color
on recycled and other environmentally
friendly paper—media that other printing
technologies have trouble with—the
ColorQube 9200 series enables you to
make the switch to recycled paper to
help meet your company's sustainability
initiatives without sacrificing quality.
The device also comes standard with
two-sided printing and copying, allowing
you to cut your paper usage in half.
Or, go paperless with powerful scanning
features to manage all your office
documents electronically.
The ColorQube 9200 series print driver
includes Earth Smart Settings, a new feature
that allows users to choose default settings
that encourage sustainability practices such
as duplex print and draft mode.
* Based on a Xerox conducted and peer-reviewed
lifecycle assessment comparing the ColorQube 9203
to a comparable color laser multifunction device.
