Copiers, Fax and Mailing

Out of all the office equipment, copiers and fax machines are the most energy-intensive because they are left on for long periods of time. ENERGY STAR® imaging equipment is 30% more efficient than conventional equipment, and runs cooler. An ENERGY STAR qualified mailing machine saves electricity, time and money.

Facts & Product Knowledge

  • ENERGY STAR qualified copiers power down when not in use, use about half the electricity as standard units, and print double-sided pages, reducing both copying and paper costs

Tips

  • Use email as an alternative; it does not use paper and requires no postage.
  • Use a power strip as a central “turn off” point for copiers and mailing machines when not in use.

Install rubber gaskets behind outlets and switch plates on exterior walls.
