Energy Saving
The SuperScript 4400 and 4400N printers
meet the requirements of the
Environmental Protection Agency’s
Energy Star Computers program for
printers. The purpose of this program is
to promote the manufacturing and
marketing of energy-efficient office automation equipment,
thereby potentially reducing combustion-related pollution.
