Compliance
Energy Star compliance

are important for saving energy and reducing air pollution.Your Mailing System is an Energy
Star®qualified Mailing System that automatically goes into a low-power 'Sleep' Mode after
a period of inactivity. Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves
energy but helps your equipment run cooler and last longer.
Environmental compliance
Is Mailing Systems are eco-friendly designs that:
•last longer, run cooler and use up to 50% less energy,
•operate more efficiently, saving you time and money,
•protect the environment with innovative product and packaging designs.
In addition to minimizing our carbon footprint, Neopost Canada also recycles used Ink
Cartridges and system components as they reach their end of life. For more details on our
