Protecting the environment
Hewlett-Packard Company is committed to providing quality products
in an environmentally sound manner. This HP LaserJet printer has
been designed with several attributes to minimize impacts on our
environment.
This HP LaserJet printer design eliminates:
Ozone production
The printer does not use high-voltage corona wires in the
electrophotographic process and therefore generates no appreciable
ozone gas (O
3
). Instead, this printer uses charging rollers in the toner
cartridge and in the print engine.
This HP LaserJet printer design reduces:
Energy consumption
Energy usage drops to as little as 9 W while in idle mode. Not only
does this save natural resources, but it also saves money without
affecting the high performance of this product. This product qualifies
for the E
NERGY
S
TAR
Program (U.S. and Japan). E
NERGY
S
TAR
is a
voluntary program established to encourage the development of
energy-efficient office products. E
NERGY
S
TAR
is a U.S. registered
service mark of the U.S. EPA.
As an E
NERGY
S
TAR
partner, Hewlett-
Packard Company has determined that
this product meets E
NERGY
S
TAR
Guidelines for energy efficiency.

Toner consumption
Depending on the type of printer driver you have, you may be able to
select a “draft” mode which uses about 50% less toner, thereby
extending the life of the toner cartridge. This is only available using
printer driver properties when printing or making copies from the
software.
Paper use
Depending on the type of program you use, you may be able to print
2 or 4 document pages on each printed page. This “N-up” printing
practice and the printer’s manual duplex capability (two-sided
printing) reduce paper usage and the resulting demands on natural
resources.
The design of this HP LaserJet printer facilitates the recycling
of:
Plastics
Plastic parts have marking according to international standards that
enhance the ability to identify plastics for recycling purposes at the
end of the product’s life. The plastics used in the product housing and
chassis are technically recyclable.
HP toner cartridges/photoconductive drum
In many countries, this product’s toner cartridge/drum can be
returned to HP using the prepaid shipping label and instructions
included inside each new HP toner cartridge box. If your country is
not listed in the recycling guide, call your local HP Sales and Service
Office (see appendix B) for further instructions.
HP cartridge recycling program
Since 1990, the HP LaserJet Toner Cartridge Recycling Program has
collected more than 12 million cartridges that otherwise would have
been discarded into landfills or similar facilities. Once a cartridge is
returned through the prepaid return program, it is disassembled, and
reusable components and the plastic housing are cleaned and
inspected for quality conformance. After passing strict inspection
procedures, materials such as nuts, screws, and clips are reclaimed
and used to produce new cartridges. Remaining materials are melted
down and used as raw materials for a variety of other products. Over
95 percent (%) of the weight of returned materials is recycled. For
more information in the U.S., call (1) (800) LASERJET [(1) (800) 527-
3753)] or contact the HP LaserJet Website at

can call the local HP Sales and Service Office (see appendix B) for
further information regarding the HP Toner Cartridge Recycling
Program.
Design for recycling has been incorporated into this printer and its
accessories. The number of materials has been kept to a minimum
while ensuring proper functionality and high product reliability.
Dissimilar materials have been designed to separate easily.
Fasteners and other connections are easy to locate, access, and
remove with common tools. High priority parts have been designed to
be accessed quickly for efficient disassembly and repair. Plastic parts
have been primarily designed in two colors to enhance recycling
options. A few small parts are colored specifically to highlight
customer access points.
