The ENERGY STAR® Program brings together government and industry to work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and unnecessary energy consumption associated with Office Equipment and Home Electronics by ensuring that all products used and brought into Australia are ENERGY STAR® compliant. The use of an ENERGY STAR® compliant and enabled product consumes up to 75% less energy than the average product in standby mode. In Australia approx 11% of our energy consumption is used by equipment in Standby Mode.
The Program aims to promote the use and purchase of ENERGY STAR® Compliant Office Equipment and Home Electronics by business and consumers through information released by both government and industry.
Over 95% of current business products and over 30% of Home Electronics sold by Panasonic are ENERGY STAR® compliant. All business products that comply are labelled with the ENERGY STAR® logo. We are working towards identification of compliant Home Electronic products and better visibility on our web site and other marketing documentation.

Standby Mode: The mode in which the product is connected to a power source, produces neither sound nor picture, does not transmit nor receive program information and/or data (excluding data transmitted to change the unit's condition from "standby" to "active mode"), and is waiting to be switched to "on" (active/play mode). The product may exit the standby mode through an automatic timer activation, direct activation by the user, or a remote control command from the user. In standby mode the product is substantially shut down but may continue to perform some functions (e.g., remote control sensing and clock).

Standby Mode: The condition that exists when the product is not producing hard copy output or receiving hard copy input and is consuming less power than when producing such output or receiving such input. The transition from Standy Mode to Active Mode shuold cause no noticeable delay in the production of hard copy output.
Sleep Mode: The condition that exists when the product is not producing hard copy output or receiving hard copy input and is consuming less power than whenin a standby mode. In the transition from Sleep Mode to Active Mode, there may be some delay in the production of hard copy output, however there shall be no delay in the acceptance of information from a network or other input sources. The product enters this mode within a specific time period after the last hard copy output was produced.
Default Time to Sleep Mode: The time period set by the Partner prior to shipping that determines when the product will enter Sleep Mode. The default time shall be measured from the time that the last piece of hard copy output was produced.

Low-Power Mode: The lowest state the copier can automatically enter within some period of copier inactivity, without actually turning off.
Off Mode: The condition that exists when the copier is connected to an appropriate electrical source, and has been recently shut off via the auto-off feature.
Default Time: The time period set by the manufacturer prior to shipping that determines when the copier will enter the low-power and off modes.
