Section 1: Evaluating Color
Multifunction Printers
Environmental Impact
Environmental impact can be assessed in a variety of ways. Does the
multifunction printer offer advanced technologies that help you save energy and
reduce paper consumption? Also, consider the amount of noise generated by the
device. Is it quiet enough to allow convenient placement in close proximity to its
users without causing a distraction?
How the WorkCentre 7120
multifunction printer exceeds
the environmental impact
requirement
Energy conservation
Xerox innovations benefit the environment
and reduce your electricity bills. A
scanner based on LED lighting instead
of traditional Xenon lamps consumes
only 1/3 the power. Plus, innovative toner
design requires a lower fusing temperature
than traditional toner while offering
glossy, beautiful office graphics. As a
result, the WorkCentre 7120 consumes just
578 watts when running and 3.08 watts
when in sleep.
Reduced paper consumption
The WorkCentre 7120 performs 100
percent efficient two-sided printing on
letter- / A4-size media — it’s just as fast
as printing one-sided pages. Plus, optional
LAN fax functionality further reduces
paper usage by sending faxes directly from
applications on your desktop. Incoming
faxes can be viewed as thumbnail images
on the user interface — so you only print
what’s important.
The WorkCentre 7120 print driver includes
Earth Smart Settings, a new feature that
allows users to choose default settings
that encourage sustainability practices
such as duplex print and draft mode. Or go
paperless and distribute digital files quickly
and easily.
Quiet operation
Out quietist workgroup color multifunction
printer, the WorkCentre 7120 stays
productive while emitting low noise levels.
All fans are turned off in Standby mode
to decrease power consumption and
noise emissions — at just 16 dB(A), the
WorkCentre 7120 is quieter than a whisper.
