Copying Machines

 

Target Scope


Dry process, indirect electrostatic copying machines mainly used at offices in general and the like, except the following:

1) ones capable of color copying,

2) ones capable of copying onto A2 or larger paper,

3) ones capable of copying 86 sheets or more per minute,

4) ones which are not structured for a rated input voltage of 100 V,

5) ones which are not structured for copying 13 or more sheets per minute, or

6) ones other than digital types.

 

Energy Consumption Efficiency


Energy consumption efficiency E (Wh) shall be a numeric value calculated from the following formula.

E = (A + 7 × B) / 8
A: Energy consumption (Wh) measured for one hour after the machine is turned on.
B: Energy consumption (Wh) measured for another one hour after the measurement of "A".

 

Categories & Target Standard Values


In the target fiscal year and each subsequent fiscal year, for each category, the weighted average value obtained by weighting energy consumption efficiency with shipment volume shall not be above the target standard value.

Remarks:
  1. ‟A4 machines,” ‟B4 machines,” ‟A3 machines,” and ‟A3Y machines” refer to copying machines whose maximum input width is the A4 paper width, B4 paper width, A3 paper width, and A3 paper length, respectively.
  2. ‟Copying speed” refers to the maximum number of plain A4 paper sheets copied per minute consecutively.

 

Target Fiscal Year
