Hewlett-Packard Limited Warranty Statement Environmental Attributes of the HP 2000C Printer
Environmental Statement
Hewlett-Packard continuously improves the
design and production processes of HP printers
to minimize the negative impact on the office
environment and on the communities where
printers are manufactured, shipped, and used.
Hewlett-Packard has also developed processes to
minimize the negative impact of the disposal of
the printer at the end of printing life.
Reduction and Elimination
Printer Packaging: Packaging materials have been
reduced, saving roughly 50% in fuel and, therefore,
fuel emissions.
Ink Consumption: EconoFast mode uses about 1/2
the amount of black ink for text compared to
Normal mode. EconoFast mode uses 1/3 to 1/4 less
ink than Normal mode for color, thereby extending
the life of the ink cartridge.
Paper Use: The printer’s manual duplexing, or two-
sided printing option, reduces paper usage and the
resulting demands on natural resources. This printer
is suited for the use of recycled papers according to
DIN 19 309.
Ozone: All ozone-depleting chemicals (CFCs for
example) have been eliminated from Hewlett-
Packard manufacturing processes.
Recycling
Design for recycling has been incorporated into this
printer. The number of materials has been kept to a
minimum, and dissimilar materials have been
designed to separate easily. Fasteners and
connections are easy to locate, access, and remove
using common tools. High-priority parts have been
designed to be accessed quickly for efficient
disassembly and repair. Plastic parts have been
primarily designed in no more than two colors to
enhance recycling options.
Printer Packaging: The printer packaging, the
expanded polystyrene packaging inserts, and the
clear polyethylene bags containing the printer
drivers do not contain any halogenated polymers
and are 100% recyclable.
Plastic Parts: All plastic parts of the printer and
packaging are marked according to international
standards, to enable the identification of these parts
for recycling. The plastics used in the printer
housing and chassis are technically recyclable.
Product Longevity: To ensure the longevity of
your printer, HP provides the following:
Extended Warranty – HP SupportPack offers a
three year protection plan. HP SupportPack must be
purchased within 30 days of your product purchase.
Contact the nearest HP dealer about this service.
Spare Parts and Consumables Availability for at
least five years after production has stopped.
Energy Consumption
This printer was designed with energy conservation
in mind. This printer uses less than 8 watts in
stand by mode, which easily qualifies it as an
energy-saving computer printer under the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star
Computers Program.
Off-mode Energy Consumption: When the printer
is in off-mode, a minimal amount of energy is still
being consumed. Energy consumption can be
prevented by turning the printer power off, and
then disconnecting the printer power cord from
the electrical source.
B. Limitations of Warranty
1. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, NEITHER HP NOR
ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS MAKE ANY OTHER WARRANTY OR

A. Extent of Limited Warranty
1. Hewlett-Packard (HP) warrants to the end-user customer that
the HP products specified above will be free from defects in
materials and workmanship for the duration specified above,
which duration begins on the date of purchase by the customer.
Customer is responsible for maintaining proof of date of
purchase.
2. For software products, HP’s limited warranty applies only to
a failure to execute programming instructions. HP does not
warrant that the operation of any product will be uninterrupted
or error free.
3. HP’s limited warranty covers only those defects which arise as a
result of normal use of the product, and do not apply to any:
a. Improper or inadequate maintenance or modification;
b. Software, interfacing, media, parts, or supplies not provided
or supported by HP; or
c. Operation outside the product’s specifications.
4. For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP ink cartridge or
a refilled ink cartridge does not affect either the warranty to
the customer or any HP support contract with the customer.
However, if printer failure or damage is attributable to the use
of a non-HP or refilled ink cartridge, HP will charge its standard
time and materials charges to service the printer for the
particular failure or damage.
5. If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of
a defect in any software, media, or ink cartridge product which
is covered by HP’s warranty, HP shall replace the defective
product. If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period,
notice of a defect in any hardware product which is covered by
HP’s warranty, HP shall either repair or replace the defective
product, at HP’s option.
6. If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective
product which is covered by HP’s warranty, HP shall, within a
reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund the
purchase price for the product.
7. HP shall have no obligation to repair, replace, or refund until
the customer returns the defective product to HP.
8. Any replacement product may be either new or like-new,
provided that it has functionality at least equal to that of the
product being replaced.
9. HP’s limited warranty is valid in any country where the covered
HP product is distributed by HP except for the Middle-East,
Africa, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, and France’s
“Départements D’Outre-Mer”; for those excepted areas, the
warranty is valid only in the country of purchase. Contracts for
additional warranty services, such as on-site service, may be
available for any authorized HP service facility where the listed
HP product is distributed by HP or an authorized importer.
