Energy Star
The DP-2500/3000 copier complies with Tier 2 of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy
Star Program.This voluntary program specifies specific 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.
