Environmental sustainability program

Hewlett-Packard is committed to providing quality products in an environmentally sound manner. HP continuously improves the design processes of its printers to minimize the negative impact on the office environment and on the communities where printers are manufactured, shipped, and used. HP has also developed processes to minimize the negative impact of the disposal of the printer at the end of its printing life.

Reduction and elimination

Paper use

This product's two-sided (duplex) printing and N-up printing feature (which allows you to print multiple pages of a document on one sheet of paper) can reduce paper usage and the resulting demands on natural resources. See this guide for more information about using these features.

Ink use

This product's draft mode uses less ink, which might extend the life of the cartridges. See the printer driver's online Help for more information.

Ozone-depleting chemicals

Ozone-depleting chemicals, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), have been eliminated from HP manufacturing processes.

Power consumption

Power usage drops significantly while in PowerSave/Sleep mode, which saves natural resources and saves money without affecting the high performance of this product. This product qualifies for ENERGY STAR® (version 3.0), which is a voluntary program to encourage the development of energy-efficient office products.

ENERGY STAR® and the ENERGY STAR mark are U.S. registered marks. As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Hewlett-Packard Company has determined this product meets ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. For more information, see www.energystar.gov.
