Environmental statement
Hewlett-Packard continuously improves the design processes of its deskjet printers to minimize the negative impact on the office environment and on the communities where printers are manufactured, shipped, and used.
Reduction and elimination
Paper use: The
Print Cancel button allows the user to save paper by quickly
canceling a print job as needed. This equipment is suitable for using recycled papers
(in accordance with EN 12281:2002).
Recycled paper: All paper documentation for this printer is printed on recycled paper.
Ozone: Ozone-depleting chemicals such as CFCs have been eliminated from Hewlett-
Packard's manufacturing processes.
Recycling
Design for recycling has been incorporated into this printer. The number of materials has been kept to a minimum while ensuring proper functionality and reliability.
Dissimilar materials have been designed to separate easily. Fasteners and other connections are easy to locate, access, and remove using common tools. High priority parts have been designed to access quickly for efficient disassembly and repair.
Printer packaging: The packaging materials for this printer have been selected to provide maximum protection for the least cost possible, while attempting to minimize environmental impact and facilitate recycling. The rugged design of the HP Deskjet printer assists in minimizing both packaging materials and damage rates.
Plastic parts: All major plastics and plastic parts are marked according to international standards. All plastic parts used in the printer housing and chassis are technically recyclable and all use a single polymer.
Product longevity: To ensure the longevity of your HP Deskjet printer, HP provides the following:
● Extended warranty: Details can be found in the reference guide that came with your printer.
● Replacement parts and consumables are available for a limited period after production has stopped.
● Product take-back: To return this product to HP at the end of its useful life, go to www.hp.com/recycle . To return empty print cartridges to HP, see

Energy consumption
This printer was designed with energy conservation in mind. Not only does this save natural resources, but it also saves money without affecting the high performance of the printer. The printer meets the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) requirements, the US government energy savings initiative aimed at reducing power when the printer is turned OFF.
Energy consumption in standby mode: See the reference guide for energy consumption specifications.
Energy consumption in off-mode: When the printer is off, an amount of energy is still being consumed. Energy consumption can be prevented by turning the printer power off, then disconnecting the end of the printer power cord from the electrical source.
Print cartridge recovery
Customers interested in recycling their genuine HP print cartridges can participate in
HP's Planet Partner's Program for inkjet cartridges. HP offers this program in more countries/regions than any other inkjet cartridge manufacturer in the world. This program is provided as a free service to HP customers as an environmentally sound solution for these products at end-of-life.
To participate, simply follow the directions provided on HP's Web site at this address: www.hp.com/recycle . This service is not available in all countries/regions. Customers may be asked for their name, phone number, and address.
Because HP's unique recycling processes are very sensitive to material contamination, we cannot take back and recycle cartridges from other manufacturers.
The end products of the recycling process are used in the manufacture of new products, and HP must ensure the composition of the material is consistent. To do that, we recycle only HP original cartridges. This program does not extend to refilled cartridges.
Returned cartridges are separated for purification into raw materials for use in other industries to manufacture new products. Examples of products made from recycled
HP print cartridge materials include automobile parts, trays used in microchip
88 HP Deskjet 5400 series
fabrication processes, copper wire, steel plates, and the precious materials used in electronics. Depending on the model, HP is able to recycle up to 65% of the print cartridge by weight. The remaining parts that cannot be recycled (ink, foam, and composite parts) are disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.
