Launch Guide bizhub 250/bizhub 350
8. Consumables
9. Environmental Aspects
The new Blue Angel Mark, WEEE and Energy Star
regulations are met as well as RoHS (Regulation on the
use of Hazardous Substances), a regulation that
prohibits the use of lead, mercury and other such
substances with electronic equipment and which will
come into force by mid 2006. Only the finisher and hard
disk will not be compliant from the launch, but about
three months later (autumn 2005).
The DTS (German Definitive Telefax Standard) test has been passed for the fax option.
Since the bizhub 250 and bizhub 350 use polymerised
toner, all consumables are new and exclusive for
these two models.
While the drum and developer last
for 100,000 copies (bizhub 350) and 80,000 copies
(bizhub 250) respectively, the toner yield is 17,500
copies for either model. Yet separate toner cartridges
are provided for the bizhub 250 (TN211) and bizhub
350 (TN311).
