# Council Decision of 13 November 2012 on the signing and conclusion of the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the European Union on the coordination of energy-efficiency labelling programmes for office equipment (Text with EEA relevance) (2013/107/EU), Division 2: ENERGY STAR Eligibility Criteria — OM


To qualify as ENERGY STAR, the power consumption values for imaging equipment listed in section C, Table 2, above must not exceed the corresponding limits below. For products that meet the Sleep-mode power requirement in Ready mode, no further automatic power reductions are required to meet the Sleep limit. Additionally, for products that meet the standby-power requirements in Ready or Sleep mode, no further automatic power reductions are required to qualify as ENERGY STAR.
For imaging products with a functionally integrated DFE that relies on the imaging product for its power, the power consumption of the DFE should be excluded when comparing the product's measured Sleep with the combined marking-engine and functional-adder limits below and when comparing the measured Standby level with the Standby limits below. The DFE must not interfere with the ability of the imaging product to enter or exit its lower-power modes. In order to be excluded, the DFE must meet the definition in section A.32 and be a separate processing unit that is capable of initiating activity over the network.
Default Delay Time Requirements: To qualify for ENERGY STAR, OM products must meet the default delay time settings in Tables A through C below for each product type, enabled upon product shipment. In addition, all OM products must be shipped with a maximum machine delay time not in excess of four hours, which is adjustable only by the manufacturer. This maximum machine delay time cannot be influenced by the user and typically cannot be modified without internal, invasive product manipulation. The default delay time settings in Tables A through C may be user-adjustable.

The eligibility criteria in OM Tables 1 through 8 further below address the marking engine of the product. Since products are expected to be shipped with one or more functions beyond a basic marking engine, the corresponding allowances below should be added to the marking engine criteria for Sleep. The total value for the base product plus the functional adders should be used to determine eligibility. Manufacturers may apply no more than three primary functional adders to each product model, but may apply as many secondary adders as are present (with primary adders in excess of three included as secondary adders). An example of this approach is provided below:
Example: Consider a Standard-size IJ printer with a USB 2.0 connection and a memory card connection. Assuming the USB connection is the primary interface used during the test, the printer model would receive a functional-adder allowance of 0.5 W for USB and 0.1 for the memory card reader, for a total of 0.6 W in functional-adder allowances. Since OM Table 2 sets a Sleep mode marking-engine limit of 1.4 W, to determine qualification under ENERGY STAR, the manufacturer would add together the Sleep mode marking-engine limit and the applicable functional-adder allowances to determine the maximum power consumption permitted for qualification of the base product: 1.4 W + 0.6 W. If the power consumption of the printer in Sleep mode is measured at or below 2.0 W, then the printer would meet the ENERGY STAR Sleep limit.

Other
Storage
—
0.2
Internal storage drives present on the imaging product. Includes internal drives only (e.g. disk drives, DVD drives, Zip drives), and applies to each separate drive. This adder does not cover interfaces to external drives (e.g. SCSI) or internal memory.
Scanners with CCFL lamps or non-CCFL lamps
—
0.5
The presence of a scanner that uses Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) technology or a technology other than CCFL, such as Light-Emitting Diode (LED), Halogen, Hot-Cathode Fluorescent Tube (HCFT), Xenon, or Tubular Fluorescent (TL) technologies. This adder is applied only once, regardless of the lamp size or the number of lamps/bulbs employed.
PC-based system (cannot print/copy/scan without use of significant PC resources)
—
-0.5
This adder applies to imaging products that rely on an external computer for significant resources, such as memory and data processing, to perform basic functions commonly performed by imaging products independently, such as page rendering. This adder does not apply to products that simply use a computer as a source or destination for image data.
Cordless handset
—
0.8
The capability of the imaging product to communicate with a cordless handset. This adder is applied only once, regardless of the number of cordless handsets the product is designed to handle. This adder does not address the power requirements of the cordless handset itself.
Memory
—
1.0 W per 1 GB
The internal capacity available in the imaging product for storing data. This adder applies to all volumes of internal memory and should be scaled accordingly. For example, a unit with 2.5 GB of memory would receive an allowance of 2.5 W while a unit with 0.5 GB would receive an allowance of 0.5 W.
Power-supply (PS) size, based on PS output rating (OR)
Note: This adder ONLY applies to products which fall under OM Tables 2 and 6.
—
For PSOR > 10 W,
0.02 x (PSOR — 10 W)
This adder applies to only those imaging products which fall under OM Tables 2 and 6. The allowance is calculated from the internal or external power supply's rated DC output as specified by the power supply manufacturer. (It is not a measured quantity). For example, a unit that is rated to provide up to 3 A at 12 V has a PSOR of 36 W and would receive a power supply allowance of 0.02 × 36-10 = 0.02 × 26 = 0.52 W . For supplies that provide more than one voltage, the sum of power from all voltages is used unless the specifications note that there is a rated limit lower than this. For example, a supply which can supply 3A of 24 V and 1.5 A of 5 V output has a total PSOR of 3 × 24 + 1.5 × 5 = 79.5 W , and an allowance of 1.39 W.
For the adder allowances shown in Table 3 above, distinctions are made between 'primary' and 'secondary' types of adders. These designations refer to the state in which the interface is required to remain while the imaging product is in Sleep. Connections that remain active during the OM test procedure while the imaging product is in Sleep are defined as primary, while connections that can be inactive while the imaging product is in Sleep are defined as secondary. Most functional adders typically are secondary types.
Manufacturers should consider only the adder types that are available on a product in its as-shipped configuration. Options available to the consumer after the product is shipped or interfaces that are present on the product's externally powered digital front-end (DFE) should not be considered when applying allowances to the imaging product.
For products with multiple interfaces, these interfaces should be considered as unique and separate. However, interfaces that perform multiple functions should only be considered once. For example, a USB connection that operates as both 1.x and 2.x may be counted only once and given a single allowance. When a particular interface may fall under more than one interface type according to Table 3 above, the manufacturer should choose the function that the interface is primarily designed to perform when determining the appropriate adder allowance. For example, a USB connection on the front of the imaging product that is marketed as a PictBridge or 'camera interface' in the product literature should be considered a type E interface rather than a Type B interface. Similarly, a memory-card-reader slot that supports multiple formats may only be counted once. Further, a system that supports more than one type of 802.11 may count as only one wireless interface.
