Energy star compliant

Your EPSON printer complies with the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency's Energy Star program, which promotes the

manufacture of energy-efficient printers, computers, and

monitors. The printer conserves electricity by automatically

entering power saving mode when not in use for a specified

period of time (default is 15 minutes).

The EPA estimates that if all desktop computers, printers, and

other peripheral devices met Energy Star standards, energy

cost savings would exceed $1 billion annually and carbon

dioxide emissions would be reduced by 20 million tons.

All of EPSON’s dot matrix and ink jet printers conform to

Energy Star standards, as do all ActionLaser printers produced

after June, 1993.

The Energy Star emblem does not represent EPA endowment of any

product or service.

Optional PostScript

emulation

Optional software is available that allows you to print

documents formatted for PostScript Level 2. Call your dealer

or EPSON Accessories for more information.
