Measured diagonally.

Measured when the machine is connected using the same network connection as the ENERGY STAR Ver. 3.2 test method. Power consumption varies slightly depending on the usage environment or part wear.

When using ADF, single-sided printing and scanning, resolution: standard / document: ISO/IEC 24712 printed pattern.

Measured according to IEC 62301 Edition 2.0.

Even when the machine is turned off, it will automatically turn itself on periodically for print head maintenance, and then turn itself off.

Noise depends on printing conditions.
