Energy Star
®
Compliance
As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Pitney Bowes has determined that
the DM1000 mailing systems meet ENERGY STAR guidelines for
energy efficiency. The postal security device automatically enters
a low power state called a sleep mode if you dont use it for a
while. This keeps energy consumption low, while maintaining the high state
of readiness you expect from Pitney Bowes mailing equipment.
Office equipment is the fastest growing electricity load in the commercial
buildings sector. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
promotes energy efficiency because electricity generation contributes to
air pollution, including 35 percent of all U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide,
one of the key contributors to global warming. It also accounts for 70
percent and 33 percent of all U.S. emissions of sulfur dioxides and
nitrogen oxides, respectively; these contribute to acid rain and urban
smog. By using more energy-efficient equipment, you can reduce both
pollution and energy costs.
The ENERGY STAR program is another example of how Pitney Bowes is
good for the environment and smart for business.
Postal Security
Device
Your mailing system is equipped with a Postal Security Device (PSD) that
incorporates the latest technology approved by the United States Postal
Service to secure funds. This technology eliminates the need to perform
physical inspections of your postal security device. The PSD contains the
funds and performs all calculations necessary to print meter stamps that
comply with current USPS standards. The PSD is located in your mailing
systems IntelliLink Control Center.
