HP 3150, 3100 manual Toner consumption, Paper use, HP LaserJet Printing Supplies

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.

HP Planet Partners Printing Supplies Environmental Program Information

Since 1990, the HP LaserJet Toner Cartridge Recycling Program has collected more than 25 million used LaserJet toner cartridges that otherwise may have been discarded in the world's landfills. The HP LaserJet toner cartridges and consumables are collected and bulk shipped to our resource and recovery partners who disassemble the cartridge. After a thorough quality inspection, selected parts such as nuts, screws, and clips are reclaimed for use in new cartridges. Remaining materials are separated and converted into raw materials for use by other industries to make a variety of useful products.

Returns

For a more environmentally responsible return of used cartridges and consumables, HP encourages the use of bulk returns. Simply bundle two or more cartridges or consumables together and use the single, pre-paid, pre-addressed UPS label that is supplied in the package.
