Konica Minolta bizhub C284 won BLI Outstanding Achievement Award for Energy Efficiency
Friday 26. July 2013 - Konica Minolta bizhub C284 picked up the Buyers Laboratory LLC (BLI) Outstanding Achievement Award for Energy Efficiency last week.
BLI, the world’s leading independent tester of document imaging products, awarded “Outstanding Achievement” accolades to the most energy efficient models in the range of printers and multi-function peripherals (MFP) categories, tested in the past eight months. The winners exhibit significantly lower than average energy consumption for their respective product categories and offer a variety of environmentally friendly features.
Based on BLI’s report, the 28-ppm (pages-per-minute) Konica Minolta bizhub C284 gave a stellar performance while running the tester’s environmental job stream test, which helped it earn its award-winning status for energy consumption. In fact, when the bizhub’s job stream energy was extrapolated out to one year, the unit’s projected annual energy consumption was about 41 percent lower than average for A3 colour MFPs in its speed range.
“We are delighted to be recognized by BLI for our superb performance and leadership in energy-efficient technologies, “said Mr. Jonathan Yeo, General Manager, Regional Headquarters, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Asia Pte Ltd.
He added, “At Konica Minolta, we are deeply committed to reduce the impact our products have on the environment with our green initiatives and technologies.”
The bizhub C284’s environmental attributes do not end at the power cord. The MFP also features faster than average recovery times from overnight sleep, above average tested toner yields and a variety of features to help reduce waste, such as blank-page removal for print output. In addition, the unit enters sleep mode at its set time during an error condition, while some competitors’ units tested stay active, consuming needless energy.
Konica Minolta’s bizhub C284 is the ideal MFP for organizations looking to optimize their productive capability, while being kind to the environment.
