Owner's Manual

Care from Start to Finish
Starting with product development, all suppliers are required to meet
Canon’s stringent Green Procurement policy and environmental terms.
This helps the company exceed the toughest global standards for
restricting or eliminating hazardous chemical substances from its
products. Canon’s state-of-the-art technology is engineered into lighter,
compact body designs that use fewer materials and save space, thereby
reducing the amount of packaging and fuel required for transport. And to
further reduce CO
2
and other greenhouse gas emissions when delivering
products nationwide, Canon partners with the U.S. EPA in the SmartWay
Transport program.
Protecting the Environment
Canon is guided by the philosophy of Kyosei–all people, regardless of
race, religion or culture, harmoniously living and working together into
the future. As a world-class leader in imaging technologies, Canon
is dedicated to protecting and preserving valuable environmental
resources. To meet this commitment, Canon has put in place an
Environmental Management System and currently holds one of the
largest consolidated ISO-14001 certificates in the world. At each stage
of the product life cycle–produce, use, and recycle–Canon assesses the
amount of CO
2
emitted and strives to reduce it, always seeking ways to
conserve energy and resources, and reduce hazardous substances.
Product Usage
When a Canon device reaches your workplace, you’ll value the features
that help save energy, paper, and toner. Canon has developed innovative
technologies that make its business products highly energy efficient
while delivering great performance. For example, its RAPID Fusing
System technology reduces power consumption of digital multifunction
devices by up to 80% over previous models without this technology.
Canon is a recipient of the United States Environmental Protection
Agency’s 2011 Award for Excellence in Energy Efficient Product Design
and has been recognized for its sustainability practices. Canon devices
also support a full range of features that help reduce paper usage and
toner consumption.
Product Collection and Recycling
When Canon’s business products have completed their full service life,
they’re effectively collected and remanufactured whenever possible.
Canon pioneered the collection of used toner cartridges in 1990 and its
recycling program is still going strong today. Canon’s innovative green
technologies also include bio-based plastic, a plant-derived compound
that replaces certain petroleum-based plastic parts. Canon believes in
living and working together into the future. It’s committed to bringing
you advanced technologies that run your business while respecting the
global environment.
