Ozone production
This product generates no appreciable ozone gas (O3).
Power consumption
Power usage drops significantly while in PowerSave 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® is a U.S. registered mark. As an ENERGY STAR partner, Hewlett-Packard Company has determined that this product meets ENERGY STAR Guidelines for energy efficiency. For more information, see http://www.energystar.gov/.
Toner consumption

Paper use
This product’s optional, automatic, 2-sided printing feature (duplex printing) can reduce paper usage and the resulting demands on natural resources. See 2-sided (duplex) printing for more information.
