Plastics Plastic parts have material identification markings, according to international standards, that
enhance the ability to identify plastics for proper disposition at the end of the printer’s life.
The plastics used in the printer housing and chassis are technically recyclable.
Printer and parts Design for recycling has been incorporated into the printer and its accessories. The number
of materials has been kept to a minimum while ensuring proper functionality and high
product reliability. Dissimilar materials have been designed to separate easily. Fasteners
and other connections are easy to locate, access, and remove with common tools. High
priority parts have been designed to be accessed quickly for efficient disassembly and
repair. Plastic par ts have been primarily designed in two colors to enhance recycling
options. A few small parts are colored specifically to highlight customer access points.
HP disposes of returned products in an environmentally sound manner. Many of the
functional parts are recovered, tested, and reused as fully-warrantied service parts. Used
printer par ts are not placed into new product manufacturing. The remainder of the product
parts are recycled, if possible. For product recycling information, call (1) (800) (340-2445).
Paper The printer is suited for the use of recycled papers when the paper meets the guidelines
outlined in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Media Specifications Guide. See
www.hp.com/support/lj9000 for ordering information. The printer is suited for the use of
recycled paper according to DIN 19 309.
