European Union Lot 4 Imaging Equipment Agreement Environmental
Information
Environmental Information Providing Environmental Solutions and Reducing Cost
The following information has been developed to assist users and has been issued in relation to the
European Union (EU) Energy Related Products Directive, specifically the Lot 4 study on Imaging
Equipment. This requires manufacturers to improve environmental performance of in scope products and
supports the EU action plan on energy efficiency.
In scope products are Household and Office equipment that meet the following criteria.
• Standard monochrome format products with a maximum speed less than 66 A4 images per minute
• Standard color format products with a maximum speed less than 51 A4 images per minute
Environmental Benefits of Duplex Printing
Most Xerox products 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 product can be used to print on both recycled and virgin paper, approved to an environmental
stewardship scheme, which complies with EN12281 or a similar quality standard. Lighter weight paper
(60 g/m²), which contains less raw material and thus save resources per print, may be used in certain
applications. We encourage you to check if this is suitable for your printing needs.

The ENERGY STAR Imaging Equipment Program is a team effort between United States,
European Union, and Japanese governments and the office equipment industry to
promote energy-efficient copiers, printers, fax, multifunction printers, personal
computers, and monitors. Reducing product energy consumption helps combat smog,
acid rain, and long-term changes to the climate by decreasing the emissions that result
from generating electricity.
