Chapter 8
The ENERGY STAR label was established to: 1) Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
other pollutants caused by the inefficient use of energy; and 2) Make it easy for consumers to
identify and purchase energy-efficient products that offer savings on energy bills without sac-
rificing performance, features, and comfort.
How ENERGY STAR® works on your system
60 seconds before the ENERGY STAR timeout occurs, a message appears on your screen
informing you that the system will shutdown in 60 seconds. It begins the countdown and dis-
plays the amount of time left on the screen. An audible beep is also emitted during this time.
You can cancel the shutdown during the 60 second countdown by:
Selecting the Cancel shutdown button.
l
Selecting the ENERGY STAR® timeout setting button. This takes you to System settings
l
where you can modify the timeouts.
Closing the ENERGY STAR® message window.
l
Selecting the help button on the ENERGY STAR message window.

Pitney Bowes Commitment
Pitney Bowes is committed to designing and manufacturing energy efficient equipment
because it lowers the operating costs and helps preserve the environment. As an ENERGY
STAR® Partner, Pitney Bowes has determined that the Connect+™ Series system meets
the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency with the optional (no charge) of an
automatic SHUT DOWN mode. This minimizes energy consumption in compliance with the
2009 revised ENERGY STAR® standards for the mailing equipment category.
How is the ENERGY STAR® Mode enabled?
The ENERGY STAR® Mode is an OPTION, and is not standard with your base con-
figurations for the Connect+™ Series. If this option is not part of your sales configuration, the
Connect+™ Series system will not allow the automatic SHUT DOWN to occur.
Is the system energy efficient without ENERGY STAR® enabled?
Yes. Every step was taken to manufacture an energy efficient system. However, the 2009
ENERGY STAR® guidelines for the Mailing Machine category did not accommodate the
leap in technology taken by the Connect+™ Series, where PC-technology is now used for
mail processing and envelope printing. PC-technology works differently than mailing
