Protecting the environment

Hewlett-Packard Company is committed to providing quality products
in an environmentally-sound manner. The HP LaserJet printer has
been designed with several attributes to minimize impacts on the
environment.

This HP LaserJet printer eliminates:

Ozone production

The printer uses charging rollers in the electrophotographic
process and therefore generates no appreciable ozone gas (O

3

).

This HP LaserJet printer design reduces:

Energy consumption

Energy usage drops significantly while in low-power (PowerSave)
mode. Not only does this save natural resources, but it also saves
money without affecting the high performance of this printer. This
product qualifies for E

efficiency.

Toner consumption

EconoMode uses significantly less toner

,

which might extend the

life of the toner cartridge.

Paper use

Depending on the type of software program in use, you can
request that a number of pages of your document be printed on
one sheet of paper. This N-up printing practice and the printer’s
automatic duplexing feature, which provides two-sided printing,
can reduce paper usage and the resulting demands on natural
resources.

HP Planet Partners toner cartridge recycling program

In over 25 countries, this product’s
toner cartridges can be returned to
HP through the HP Planet Partners
toner cartridge recycling program.
Multi-lingual program information
and instructions are included in

every new HP LaserJet toner cartridge and consumables
package.

Since 1990, the HP Planet Partners toner cartridge recycling
program has collected more than 39 million used LaserJet toner
cartridges that otherwise might have been discarded in the
world’s landfills. The HP LaserJet toner cartridges go to a

who disassemble the cartridge parts for recycling. Materials are
separated and converted into raw materials for use by other
industries to make a variety of useful products.
