Version 1.1 ENERGY STAR Imaging Equipment Specification –Data Summary
Introduction
In order to establish proposed Typical Electricity Consumption (TEC) and Operational Mode (OM)
requirements for Tier 2 requirements in the Final Version 1.1 ENERGY STAR Imaging Equipment
Specification (“Version 1.1”), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) used product datafor models qualified as of July 2, 2008 under the current requirements in Version 1.0 ENERGYSTAR Imaging Equipment Specification. The qualification percentages noted in the discussions
below represent the percentage of ENERGY STAR models, out of all models currently available
for sale in the United States.
In order to determine the models available in the current market, EPA recorded individual model
information directly from manufacturers’ Web sites. Model information was obtained from Web
sites of both partners and non-partners, accessed from May 29 to June 19. Any models listed on
manufacturers’ Web sites as available for sale in the United States were counted. The list ofproduct models found on Web sites was distributed to manufacturers on June 20 to: 1) confirm
the accuracy and completeness of product listings and 2) provide updates as needed to theproduct information listed. Manufacturers’ were also invited to provide feedback on productinformation listed under other manufacturers.
Based on responses from 14 manufacturers, EPA updated products listings as determined fromthe Web site searches and added or removed products where applicable. EPA then crosschecked the products indicated as ENERGY STAR qualified on the updated product listings withproduct data from the ENERGY STAR database. Any incomplete product data was not includedin the final analysis. The resulting product lists were the basis for which EPA used to determine
the market share of ENERGY STAR qualifying products for Version 1.1.
EPA initially presented these market data analysis results in the Draft 2 Version 1.1 ENERGYSTAR Imaging Equipment Specification, distributed on July 17, 2008. EPA received input fromstakeholders on Draft 2 and on the following Draft Final document, distributed on August 28,
2008. When appropriate, the following data summary incorporates stakeholders’ comments fromthe previous two drafts.
Product models were grouped by product type, marking technology, size format, and color
capability in order to classify by TEC or OM Table. Below are the data summary discussions foreach category.

The number of products that would qualify under the proposed Tier 2 levels.
The percent of total products that would qualify under the proposed Tier 2 levels.

In proposing the Version 1.1 levels, EPA took into account whether more than one manufacturer
had qualified products.
The approach to the analysis was to create a line of moving 25% levels for successive “windows”
of 10 ipm. That is, the first window was 1-10 ipm, the second 2-11, third 3-12, etc. The 25%level was found for each window. Ideally, each window would have at least 25% of the models
being compliant so that the actual values of the non-qualified models would never enter theanalysis. While this is the case most of the time, it is not always. When non-qualified models
were included in the analysis, since TEC values were not available for these models, EPA used
Version 1.0 TEC limits in lieu of actual values. In addition, when no units at all were in thewindow, the value was set to zero. This method used to generate the trend lines in Version 1.1was different than in Version 1.0 and provides a better reflection of the data. EPA believes this isa better intermediate step to drawing the actual linear spec lines.
Figure 1 below shows the results of this analysis for models up to 100 ipm, along with the Version
1.1 proposed lines. Figure 2 shows the data up to 160 ipm. There are only six units in thedataset with a speed over 160 ipm.

The number of products that would qualify under the proposed Version 1.1 levels.
The percent of total products that would qualify under the proposed Version 1.1 levels.
* In Draft 2, this value was 100 total products. Based on stakeholder comments noting the possible inclusion ofindustrial products in this total, EPA reviewed the market information to remove these industrial products from thecount of total products available.
2In proposing the new requirements for Sleep mode power, EPA took into account whether morethan one manufacturer had qualified products. Based on stakeholder feedback on Draft 1, thebase power calculated for each product in each OM category was examined against the products’
speed and power-supply (PS) size to determine if a functional adder based on PS wasnecessary.
From the data analysis, EPA is proposing to include the functional adder associated with Sleep
levels based on power supply output rating (PSOR) for imaging products which fall under OM
Tables 2 and 6. When calculating the base power for all other OM Tables, the PSOR adder wasexcluded in the Version 1.1 specification. In some cases the proposed Sleep allowance
ENERGY STAR are higher than Version 1.0 to account for elimination of Power-supply adder forthese products. EPA examined each OM category based on power supply size and speed. If data
showed all products with a large power supply or high speed products did not meet a proposed
Sleep requirement within an OM category, EPA applied an adder based on power supply.
Due to more limited qualified product availability under Version 1.0, the Sleep allowances forsome OM tables (OM4 and OM5) have effectively remained the same in Version 1.1 to ensure
consumers have access to variety of qualified models.
Below are the graphs and summaries for each OM category. In the graphs below, Version 1.1
proposed Sleep mode power requirements are indicated by a dashed line.

o In Draft 2 the Sleep mode allowance for OM1 was set to similar level as OM8, 14
Watts (W), due to the fact that products in OM1 are basically built from a printengine (including an optional DFE) plus a scanner. EPA intended to increase theOM1 Sleep allowance by some amount over the OM8 allowance of 14 W.

the Sleep allowance for OM1 to 30 W.
