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 Emissions— This product has been designed to minimize

￿ozone emissions and avoid the need for an ozone filter.

CFC Usage— Class I U.S. Clean Air Act stratospheric ozone-

￿depleting chemicals (chlorofluorocarbons [CFCs], for example) have been eliminated from the manufacturing sites that produce this printer. This practice coincides with the 1987 “Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer” and its subsequent amendments. CFCs are not used in manufacturing of the packaging.

This HP LaserJet printer design reduces:

￿	Energy Consumption— Energy usage drops significantly from
	printing mode to PowerSave mode.
	Paper Use— The printer’s optional duplex printing accessory
	provides two-sided printing, reducing paper usage and the
	resulting demands on natural resources.

The design of this HP LaserJet printer facilitates the recycling of:

￿	Plastics— Major plastic parts have markings that enhance the
	ability to identify plastics for recycling purposes at the end of the
	printer’s life.
	HP Toner Cartridges/Photoconductive Drum— In many
	countries, this product’s toner cartridge/drum can be returned to
	HP at the end of its useful life. A prepaid shipping label and
	instructions on how to return the toner cartridge/drum are
￿	included with the replacement toner cartridge/drum. If your
