1 Calculated under the following conditions: The number of sheets of A4 copy paper used
per month is 4500, and they are used for 5 years. Sheets of paper are erased four times by
e-STUDIO RD30 and printed five times by e-STUDIO306LP. The amount of CO
1 gram of paper is 1.52 g (0.003 lb.) (Japan Paper Association). The life cycle assessment
and recycling of e-STUDIO306LP and e-STUDIO RD30 are also taken into consideration.
