Imaging Equipment Key Product Criteria

Effective Date: January 1, 2014

Imaging equipment products are classified based on their marking technology and paper size into two groups subject to different requirements:

Laser office printers and multi-function devices (and similar products) are subject to Typical Electricity Consumption (TEC) requirements, while
Other products (including home ink jet printers and multi-function devices) are subject to Operational Mode (OM) requirements;

Digital Front End (DFE) Requirements

Digital Front-end (DFE): A functionally-integrated server that hosts other computers and applications and acts as an interface to Imaging Equipment. A DFE provides greater functionality to the Imaging Equipment.

Type 1 DFE: A DFE that draws its dc power from its own ac power supply (internal or external), which is separate from the power supply that powers the Imaging Equipment. This DFE may draw its ac power directly from a wall outlet, or it may draw it from the ac power associated with the Imaging Equipment’s internal power supply. A Type 1 DFE may be sold standard with the Imaging Equipment product or as an accessory.

Type 2 DFE: A DFE that draws its dc power from the same power supply as the Imaging Equipment with which it operates. Type 2 DFEs must have a board or assembly with a separate processing unit that is capable of initiating activity over the network and can be physically removed, isolated, or disabled using common engineering practices to allow power measurements to be made.

Imaging Equipment products with a DFE are also subject to these additional requirements:

Maximum TEC_DFE Requirements for Type 1 and Type 2 DFEs
DFE Category	Category Description	Maximum TEC_DFE (kWh/week)
DFE Category	Category Description	Type 1 DFE	Type 2 DFE
A	All DFEs that do not meet the definition of Category B will be considered under Category A for ENERGY STAR qualification	10.9	8.7
B	To qualify under Category B DFEs must have: 2 or more physical CPUs or 1 CPU and ≥ 1 discrete Auxiliary Processing Accelerators (APAs)	22.7	18.2

TEC_DFE is the typical weekly energy consumption for DFEs, expressed in kilowatt-hours (kWh/week)
