Notes and footnotes
  1. A product carbon footprint is defined as the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted directly and indirectly by a product over its lifetime. Greenhouse gas emissions are reported as global warming potential for 100-year time horizon (GWP-100) in units of CO2 equivalence. Calculations are done in accordance with ISO 14040 & ISO 14044. Individual values may not sum to total due to rounding.
  2. [1] Based on HP internal testing of top three leading competitors’ first page out from sleep mode and duplex print speed completed 12/2015. Subject to device settings. Actual results may vary. For details, see http://www.hp.com/go/Ljclaims
