Environmental Attributes of the DeskJet Printer
Environmental Statement
Hewlett-Packard continuously improves the design and
production processes of HP DeskJet printers to mini-
mize 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 dispos-
al 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: EconMode uses about 1/2 the
amount of black ink for text compared to Normal mode.
EconoMode uses 1/3 to 1/4 less ink than NormalMode
for color, thereby extending the life of the ink cartridge.
Paper Use: The printer’s 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 exam-
ple) have been eliminated from Hewlett-Packard manu-
facturing 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 expand-
ed polystyrene packaging inserts, and the clear polyeth-
ylene bags containing the printer drivers do not contain
any hologenated polymers and are 100% recyclable.
Plastic Parts: All plastic parts of the printer and pack-
aging 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
DeskJet Printer, HP provides the following:
Extended Warranty - HP SupportPack offers a three
year protection plan. HP SupportPack must be pur-
chased 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.
Product Take-back - To return this product and ink car-
tridges to HP at the end of it’s useful life, call your local
HP Sales or Service Office for instructions.
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 com-
puter printer under the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s 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.
