By powering down, fax machines that have earned the ENERGY STAR can reduce energy costs associated with fax machine use by almost 40%.
Earning the ENERGY STAR
Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves energy but helps equipment run cooler and last longer. ENERGY STAR qualified machines can scan double-sided pages, reducing both copying and paper costs. Businesses that use ENERGY STAR enabled office equipment may realize additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance. Over its lifetime, ENERGY STAR qualified equipment in a single home office (e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save enough electricity to light an entire home for more than 4 years.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution.
Fax machines are generally turned on 24 hours a day, yet are only actually in use for about an hour, so power management features are important for saving energy and are an easy way to reduce air pollution. Last year, ENERGY STAR qualified new home office equipment prevented the release of 19 billion pounds of pollution.
