(a) The coating of plastic components has been limited to the minimum necessary. Laser-produced labelings shall not be considered as printings. This requirement shall not apply to parts that have been reused as can be proved. If "No" in this item, (b) shall be conformed.

Case parts, ink modules Yes / No

Coating includes layers of paint, vacuum-deposited layers and print. "Considerations for reducing environmental burden" includes the measures to control VOC emission into the air, such as the removal equipment, the devices in coating process, or replacement by low-VOC paint.

Promoting reuse and recycling

  (b) Coating works have been conducted with considerations for occupational safety and health and reducing environmental burden.

Case parts, ink modules Yes / No

  If “Yes” in (a) or (b), it is considered to conform this requirement.    11

Materials can be reused as materials, and materials are assembled such that they can be separated.

Case parts, chassis Yes / No "Can be reused as materials" means that recycled material identical to the starting material can be manufactured. (It can be used as if it were the original material.)This item asks the intention and purpose upon designing and does not ask whether recycling is actually conducted.

Selection and marking of materials

5Components made of the same sort of plastics are dyed uniformly or compatibly. Integrated control elements shall be exempt from this requirement.

Case parts, ink modules Yes / No"Compatible dyeing" stands for different shades of one color(e.g. grey and anthracite).

Promoting reuse and recycling

6 The proportional use of recycled plastic materials is permitted. Case parts, chassis, ink modules Yes / No

"Permitted" means the use of recyclable material is permitted as long as such material meets the requirements provided in the specifications and is available. "Proportional" means some available plastic components are appropriate. (This does not require all available components.)

Promoting reuse and recycling

7 Does recycled material account for at least 5% of the total plastic weight? Case parts, cases of toner module Yes / No

"Total plastic weight" means the total weight of all applicable plastic parts. "Recycled material" means recycled plastic pellets, not plastic parts that include recycled plastics. The source of recycled pellets does not matter. In other words, the recycled plastic does not have to be from recycled pellets obtained from parts used in printers or copiers; it can be from other products on the market.
