Energy Star
The DP-130/135/150 copier complies with Tier 2 of the Environmental Protection Agency's
Energy Star Program. This voluntary program specifies certain energy consumption and usage
standards for copiers. These copiers will automatically “power down” after a specified period of
non-use.
The use of these Energy Star compliant copiers will reduce energy consumption and ultimately
benefit the environment.
The default functions can be adjusted depending on your office requirements. Please see your
authorized Panasonic copier dealer for more details.
