Introduction: Increase your office's efficiency and productivity, while reducing the environmental impact of your printing.

Create an action plan

HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw
HP printers with the Energy Star label—such as the LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw—conserve energy.
Even simple steps will help reduce the environmental impact of your office printing. Here are a few suggestions:
•  Purchase printing products that deliver the environmental benefits you want. It's easy using HP Eco Highlights and ENERGY STAR® labels discussed below.
•  Save energy—and money—by replacing several individual products with one HP multifunction printer.
•  Print business and marketing materials in-house. You can save money, and print only what you need—on demand.
•  Use the Carbon Footprint Calculator for printing. It can calculate the potential for improving your company's carbon footprint and predict how much money you can save from each change you make.

Energy-saving printers

HP Eco Highlights label
The Eco Highlights label is featured on select HP printers that address several environmental categories.
HP makes it easy to find a printer that aligns with your company's environmental goals. Here are a few ways:
Eco Highlights: This label is featured on select HP printers that address several environmental categories:
•  Percentage of recycled materials
•  Energy efficiency
•  End-of-life recyclability
ENERGY STAR®: Products that earn this label conserve energy and cut utility costs by producing less heat, using less electricity, and going into "sleep" mode after inactivity.
EcoSMART: The EcoSMART console—an extension of HP Web Jetadmin—allows companies to collect data and control settings across their entire printing and imaging fleet, then create reports to establish and monitor progress toward environmental goals.

Smart printing techniques

Smart printing behaviors such as double-sided printing make a huge difference in your company's environmental impact.
Shifting the printing behaviors of your office members can make a huge difference in your company's environmental impact.
Print double-sided: You can cut your paper use by up to half by printing on both sides of the page. Some HP printers even offer automatic two-sided printing.
Print web pages efficiently: Use HP Smart Web Printing to print only what matters to you—no headers, footers, or ads.
Use printer settings wisely:
•  Page layout allows you to see your page before printing, resulting in fewer misprints and less waste.
•  Scale documents to fit more on each page.
•  The "Draft" setting uses less ink.
Manage color use:
HP's Color Access Control lets you easily manage the use—and cost—of color printing in your office.
View and store faxes electronically:
Block unwanted faxes rather than printing them out using
HP Officejet All-in-Ones and HP LaserJet MFPs.
