Lower Power Consumption

The PIXMA series features a system design that focuses on minimizing power consumption. Power consumption is not only minimized during printing, but also when the printer is in standby mode/power-off mode.

The MG6200 series has cut daily power consumption to some 41% of that by the MP630 series (2008 model).

The PIXMA MG6200 series has a daily power consumption of approximately 14.8Wh. This is equivalent to the power used by a 40W incandescent lamp (36W actual power consumption) for approximately 25 minutes.

*Evaluation conditions: Out of 24 hours, the printer is off for 16 hours and active for 8 hours, during which it continuously prints 10 color pages, and in standby for the rest (USB connection to PC).

Contributes to reduce power consumption*

Automatically enters to "Sleep Mode" when printer has not been operated for a certain period of time.

Low-power-consumption design achieved by LED light source

The MG8200 series uses white LED* as light source to eliminate 10 minutes lighting a conventional fluorescent light requires after scanning. This enables immediate switch to the standby mode, thus delivering low power consumption. Furthermore, the warm-up time, which is necessary for a conventional fluorescent light, is no longer required, so that scanning can start immediately.
Models featuring color contact image sensor (CIS) scanner use compact and low-power-consumption 3-color (RGB) LED.
Low power consumption for start-up and stable light intensity attained right after power-on made it possible to start scanning immediately without warm-up time.
Both types comply with EU RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive, thus delivering eco-friendly designs.
