4. Copying Machines

1) Target Scope:

Dry process, indirect electrostatic copying machines mainly used in offices. Color copying machines, copying machines that can copy onto A2 or larger paper, copying machines that can print 86 sheets or more a minute, copying machines that have a printer function, and copying machines with facsimiles are excluded.

2) Energy Consumption Efficiency:

Energy consumption efficiency E (Wh) is a numeric value calculated with the following formula: E = (A+7xB) ÷ 8. In this formula, A indicates power consumption (Wh) one hour after being turned on and B indicates power consumption (Wh) one hour after the measurement of A.

3) Category and Target Values:

Category	Standard energy consumption efficiency (Wh/h)
Copying speed (sheet / min.)	A4 Machines	B4 Machines	A3 Machines	A3Y Machines
-10	11	17	19	27
11-20	17	20	55	77
21-30	69	85	99	139
31-40	88	108	125	175
41-50	123	151	176	246
51-60	144	176	205	287
61-70	180	221	257	383
71-80	200	246	288	433
81-85	258	317	369	483

Remarks:

"A4 machines," "B4 machines," "A3 machines," and "A3Y machines" refer to copiers whose maximum input width is A4 width, B4 width, A3 width and, A3 length respectively.
Copying speed refers to the maximum number of plain A4 paper sheets copied per minute continuously.

4) Target Fiscal Year:

2007

5) Energy Conservation Effects:

Approximately 30% improvement in power consumption compared to 1997 levels by 2006

6) Display Items:

Product name or type, copying speed, energy consumption efficiency, manufacturer's name

7) Place of Display:

Catalogues and manuals

8) Exemption:

Manufacturers or importers that ship less than 500 units in total are excluded, but display obligations must be met regardless of the number of units shipped.
