Going Green

OKI’s MPS offering also encourages proactive media management, by allowing the user to choose the right format for the job, effectively reducing paper wastage and time spent on getting the print right. The use of the latest technologies reduces the carbon footprint of the business’s printing activities. In addition, as part of a broad series of initiatives to improve environmental performance, OKI’s programme for MPS also provides advice, help and training on waste reduction, expert disposal of redundant equipment and a national programme for recycling used consumables. It also offers SMEs a range of other print solutions that SMEs can use to achieve more energy effcient, environmental friendly printing.

Driven by a combination of industry legislation, a focus on value for money and a desire to improve environmental credentials, SMEs are steadily migrating towards greener printing solutions. Today, they are typically demanding the highest levels of power management. OKI is a pioneer in this space and many of its latest devices feature an ECO mode to help conserve energy and resources and a deep sleep mode to reduce power consumption to negligible levels when printers are not in use.
