The EPA E
NERGY STAR Office Equipment program is a
voluntary partnership with the computer and office equipment
industry to promote the introduction of energy-efficient
personal computers, monitors, printers, fax machines, and
copiers in an effort to reduce air pollution caused by power
generation.
Energy-saving Tips
Here are a few tips you can use to be even more energy-wise:
◗ If your monitor isn’t E
NERGY STAR compliant, turn it off
when you’re not using it.
◗ Turn off your computer, printer, and monitor each day
when you are done using them.
◗ Use the print preview option in your software so you can
catch errors before you print something.
◗ Send e-mail rather than distributing memos. Not only is
this faster, but you’ll save paper and storage space too.
Important Safety Instructions
Before using your printer, read the following safety instructions
to make sure you use the printer safely and effectively.
◗ Turn off and unplug the printer before cleaning. Clean
with a damp cloth only. Do not spill liquid on the printer.
◗ Do not place the printer on an unstable surface or near a
radiator or heating vent.
◗ Do not block or cover the openings in the printer’s cabinet
or insert objects through the slots.
◗ Use only the type of power source indicated on the printer’s
label.
