recommends that you use shielded cable and connectors
when connecting to 100 Mbps Ethernet.
Energy Saving The SuperScript 4600N printers meet the
requirements of the Environmental
Protection Agency’s Energy Star
Computers program for printers. The
purpose of this program is to promote
the manufacturing and marketing of
energy-efficient office automation equipment, thereby
potentially reducing combustion-related pollution. (The
Energy Star emblem does not represent EPA endorsement of
