Accompanying the rapid adoption of networked office systems in recent years is a growing need for photocopiers that deliver greater energy efficiency. Copier of the Future project performance specifications stipulate that machines must be network compatible, offer a speed of 30 copies per minute or faster, consume 10W or less of energy when in Sleep Mode (or "Zero-Energy Standby Mode"), regardless of copy speed, and realize a Recovery Time from Sleep Mode of 10 seconds or less. Compared with the ENERGY STAR(R)Program, which currently represents the energy-efficiency standard within the copier industry, Copier of the Future criteria are significantly more aggressive. For example, Copier of the Future specifications require a machine's Sleep Mode to consume less than 10% of the electricity allowable under similar circumstances for the ENERGY STAR(R) program. Additionally, Copier of the Future machines must recover from their Sleep Mode in approximately one-third of the time that is required by ENERGY STAR(R) standards. The Canon copier prototype awarded the IEA-DSM Award of Excellence features Canon's proprietary SURF (Surface Rapid Fusing) technology. SURF technology enables the fixing of toner to receiving surfaces almost instantly after electricity is applied to a small ceramic heater, translating to reduced warm-up times and significant electricity savings.
