Toner consumption Depending on the type of printer driver you have, you may be able to select a "draft" mode which uses about 50% less toner, thereby extending the life of the toner cartridge. This is only available using printer driver properties when printing or making copies from the software. Paper use Depending on the type of program you use, you may be able to print 2 or 4 document pages on each printed page. This "N-up" printing practice and the printer's manual duplex capability (two-sided printing) reduce paper usage and the resulting demands on natural resources. The design of this HP LaserJet printer facilitates the recycling of: Plastics Plastic parts have marking according to international standards that enhance the ability to identify plastics for recycling purposes at the end of the product's life. HP LaserJet Printing Supplies In many countries, this product's printing supplies (e.g., toner cartridge, drum, fuser) can be returned to HP through the HP Planet Partners Printing Supplies Environmental Program. An easy-to-use and free takeback program is available in more than 20 countries. Multilingual program information and instructions are included in every new HP LaserJet toner cartridge and consumables package. HP Planet Partners Printing Supplies Environmental Program Information Since 1990, the HP LaserJet Toner Cartridge Recycling Program has collected more than 25 million used LaserJet toner cartridges that otherwise may have been discarded in the world's landfills. The HP LaserJet toner cartridges and consumables are collected and bulk shipped to our resource and recovery partners who disassemble the cartridge. After a thorough quality inspection, selected parts such as nuts, screws, and clips are reclaimed for use in new cartridges. Remaining materials are separated and converted into raw materials for use by other industries to make a variety of useful products. Returns For a more environmentally responsible return of used cartridges and consumables, HP encourages the use of bulk returns. Simply bundle two or more cartridges or consumables together and use the single, pre-paid, pre-addressed UPS label that is supplied in the package.

Toner cartridge information
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity. Follow the recommendations in this section to ensure the highest quality and longest life of HP toner cartridges. Keep the HP LaserJet 3100/3150 product within the following environmental conditions for optimum performance.

Storage conditions
Toner cartridges are affected by their environment. Packaging protects toner cartridges from light and increases storage life. It is important to store cartridges in their original packaging until ready for installation. When storing cartridges in a warehouse or work area, make sure the storage place meets the conditions specified in Table 6.

Storing opened toner cartridges
Because cartridges do not have shutters to cover the laser beam access slot, they should be kept inside the HP LaserJet 3100/3150 product until empty. Toner cartridges that have had the toner sealing tape removed are also more vulnerable to environmental extremes. If a toner cartridge must be removed from the HP LaserJet 3100/3150 product, always store the cartridge: q q q q CAUTION Inside the protective bag in which it was originally packaged. In a dark cabinet, away from direct sunlight. Correct side up and in a horizontal position (not standing on end). Away from ammonia or organic solvent fumes.

Never ship the HP LaserJet 3100/3150 product with a toner cartridge installed. Excessive vibration during shipping can cause toner to leak, contaminating the product and possibly damaging the drum. Never expose a cartridge to direct sunlight or to room light for more than a few minutes. Bright light can permanently damage a toner cartridge.
