Environmental Statement, Reduction and Elimination

Environmental Attributes of theHP2000CPrinter

Environmental Statement

Hewlett-Packard continuously improves the design and production processes of HP printers to minimize the negative impact on the office environment and on the communities where printers are manufactured, shipped, and used. Hewlett-Packard has also developed processes to minimize the negative impact of the disposal of the printer at the end of printing life.

Reduction and Elimination

Printer Packaging: Packaging materials have been reduced, saving roughly 50% in fuel and, therefore, fuel emissions.

Ink Consumption: EconoFast mode uses about 1/2 the amount of black ink for text compared to Normal mode. EconoFast mode uses 1/3 to 1/4 less ink than Normal mode for color, thereby extending the life of the ink cartridge.

Paper Use: The printerÕs manual duplexing, or two- sided printing option, reduces paper usage and the resulting demands on natural resources. This printer is suited for the use of recycled papers according to DIN 19 309.

Ozone: All ozone-depleting chemicals (CFCs for example) have been eliminated from Hewlett- Packard manufacturing processes.

Recycling

Design for recycling has been incorporated into this printer. The number of materials has been kept to a minimum, and dissimilar materials have been designed to separate easily. Fasteners and connections are easy to locate, access, and remove using common tools. High-priority parts have been designed to be accessed quickly for efficient disassembly and repair. Plastic parts have been primarily designed in no more than two colors to enhance recycling options.

Printer Packaging: The printer packaging, the expanded polystyrene packaging inserts, and the clear polyethylene bags containing the printer drivers do not contain any halogenated polymers and are 100% recyclable.

Plastic Parts: All plastic parts of the printer and packaging are marked according to international standards, to enable the identification of these parts for recycling. The plastics used in the printer housing and chassis are technically recyclable.

Product Longevity: To ensure the longevity of your printer, HP provides the following:

Extended Warranty Ð HP SupportPack offers a three year protection plan. HP SupportPack must be purchased within 30 days of your product purchase. Contact the nearest HP dealer about this service.

Spare Parts and Consumables Availability for at least five years after production has stopped.

Energy Consumption

This printer was designed with energy conservation in mind. This printer uses less than 8 watts in stand by mode, which easily qualifies it as an energy-saving computer printer under the U.S. Environmental Protection AgencyÕs Energy Star Computers Program.

Off-mode Energy Consumption: When the printer is in off-mode, a minimal amount of energy is still being consumed. Energy consumption can be prevented by turning the printer power off, and then disconnecting the printer power cord from the electrical source.
