HP introduces the most energy-efficient laser printer in the world

The affordable, ultra-compact HP LaserJet Pro P1100 Printer series – the most energy-efficient laser printer in the world – features wireless functionality and is the company’s smallest, most affordable laser printer. Offering fast print speeds, professional print quality, an intuitive control panel and HP Auto-On/Auto-Off technology, HP LaserJet P1102 and P1102w printers help customers affordably increase efficiency. In addition, with HP Smart Install, the HP LaserJet Pro1102w lets SMB owners quickly connect and print on-the-go or from virtually anywhere in the home or small office.

Designed for home or small office users who want an affordable HP LaserJet printer that's easy to use and helps conserve energy and resources, the HP LaserJet Pro 1102w printer enables significant energy savings of up to 50 percent over competitive laser products, using Instant-on Technology, increased efficiency and reduced environmental impact.

SMBs can also get additional, effortless savings with HP Auto-On/Auto-Off technology which turns the device on and off automatically, and HP Smart Web Printing, which cuts paper wastage by printing only the desired content. This sleek, space-saving printer also comes with less packaging, plus free cartridge recycling with HP Planet Partners to help reduce customers’ environmental impact.

Industry-first HP Auto-On/Auto-Off technology allows users to print instantly even if the printer has gone into Auto-Off mode, allowing for reduced energy consumption while still giving SMBs the convenience and speed needed to work efficiently.

For desktop HP LaserJet printers, HP’s Auto-On/Auto-Off technology helps customers use up to three times less energy than in a device’s normal sleep mode, automatically powering down printers after a period of inactivity and putting them into a mode that uses less than one watt of power. HP Auto-On/Auto-Off technology works in concert with Instant-on Technology, which enables customers to produce the first page faster when a printer is coming out of Auto-Off mode.

SMB owners and IT managers also benefit from the added convenience of being able to configure devices to automatically turn off, either when the device senses there is no activity after a set time period, or at a predetermined time each day. Businesses can also decide which types of interactions will awaken devices (e.g., print requests, control panel activity, or incoming faxes, etc). The fewer activities selected, the more resources saved.

HP Auto-On/Auto-Off technology is currently available on the following HP LaserJet printers:

• LaserJet Pro 1606dn & LaserJet Pro 1566
• LaserJet Pro 1102 & LaserJet Pro 1102w
• LaserJet 1212nf Multifunction Printer
• LaserJet M1132 Multifunction Printer

Reduce paper waste and energy costs with automatic two-sided printing.

For SMBs looking to reduce energy consumption and save on resources and costs, two-sided printing is a significant tool to help reduce paper waste and reduce an SMB’s environmental footprint.
SMBs can effectively reduce paper use by about 25 percent with automatic two-sided printing on the HP LaserJet Pro 1606dn printer, HP’s smallest auto-duplex laser printer. In addition, with the LaserJet Pro 1606dn printer, SMBs also benefit from speeds of up to 25 ppm A4 and first page out in as fast as 6.6 seconds.

The HP Color LaserJet Pro CP5225dn printer also allows SMBs to reduce paper use by about 25 percent through automatic two-sided printing, while also significantly reducing environmental impact and increasing energy savings with HP Auto-Off technology.
