You want a 4si with a serial # starting with USDB and/or MFG after 3
Jan., 1994...

You will save 1 KW/hr every hour the printer is in low power mode vs.
full power, so divide $75 by the cost of a KW/hr in your area, and you
will see the break-even point... (cost vs. savings) Full power is 1100
watts, the low power mode is only 45 watts...

A profound difference. I had no idea my 4+ and 4mv are low power...
