ENERGY STAR® printers, scanners, and all-in-one devices cost about the same as standard imaging equipment, and typically use between 30 – 75% less energy than standard equipment.

Facts & Product Knowledge:

  • ENERGY STAR qualified laser printers use up to 75% less energy than regular printers.
  • ENERGY STAR qualified printers print double-sided pages, reducing paper costs.
  • Efficient designs help ENERGY STAR equipment run cooler and last longer, saving on both air conditioning costs and maintenance costs.

Tips:

  • Consider using an ink-jet printer—laser printers can use up to 90% more energy.

Consider using window fans, particularly in the evening when you can draw cooler air into the house.
