About Your Mopier  
Introduction  
Hewlett-Packard is pleased to introduce you to the industry’s first  
mopier – a printer designed to produce multiple, collated, duplexed  
(two-sided), and stapled print jobs, with the reliability, print quality,  
network compatibility, and performance that you expect from an HP  
LaserJet printer. The HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier enables you to create,  
control, manage, and finish your documents from your desktop, and  
reduce or eliminate the extra step of going to a photocopier.  
The term “MOPy” is an acronym for Multiple Original Prints. A mopier  
produces mopies, whereas a photocopier produces copies.  
Table 1-1 lists the mopier’s standard features.

Features of the HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier  
Below are summaries of some of the mopier’s most prominent features.  
Paper Handling  
HP JetAssist, Hewlett Packard’s trademark for an accessible  
paper-handling architecture, is a standard feature in the HP LaserJet 5Si  
mopier and available in the HP LaserJet 5Si and 5Si MX printers. It  
enables intelligent, friendly communication with paper-handling  
devices, making them easy to use.  
Table 1-2 identifies each tray and bin with the specific capacity and the  
media each supports. Tray 1, the multi-purpose tray, accommodates all  
media types and sizes. Trays 2 and 3 are equipped with sensors that  
automatically detect the size of paper you have loaded and the amount  
of paper in the tray. Tray 4 is a high-capacity tray that holds up to 2000  
sheets of paper.

76 MBytes. The mopier has two available single inline memory module  
(SIMM) slots for additional 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32-MByte SIMMs. A  
420-MByte hard disk is standard for storing downloaded fonts. The hard  
disk can be used to permanently store downloaded fonts and forms in  
the mopier. Unlike standard printer memory, permanently downloaded  
items from disk or CD ROM remain in the mopier even when the  
mopier is powered off.  
Macintosh users can use the HP LaserJet Utility, and Windows users can  
use the HP printer driver to download fonts. The mopier’s hard disk can  
also be write-protected through software for additional security. Refer to  
the online help associated with your HP software for more information.  
If you are a PostScript language programmer, refer to Adobe’s  
PostScript Language Reference Manual for information about  
downloading forms and patterns to the disk. For the Macintosh  
environment, refer to the HP LaserJet Utility Guide online help included  
with the HP LaserJet Utility software. For the Windows environment,  
refer to your HP Windows driver online help. For more information  
about memory management, see Chapter 2, “Memory and Memory  
Management.”  
HP Memory Enhancement technology  
Memory Enhancement technology (MEt), a standard Hewlett-Packard  
mopier feature, allows most documents to print using the mopier’s  
standard amount of memory. MEt automatically compresses data to  
print complex pages.  
Printing System  
Included with your HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier is a CD containing the HP  
LaserJet 5Si/5Si MX/5Si Mopier Printing System. On the Printing  
System CD are software components and drivers that benefit end users  
and network administrators by providing full-feature support and  
management capabilities for your mopier.  
The Printing System includes software designed for end users operating  
in the following environments:

For more information about software and drivers, see Chapter 3,  
“Mopier Software.”  
Input/Output  
Automatic I/O switching between all installed network I/O ports allows  
you to connect multiple computers or even multiple networks to the  
mopier simultaneously. If serial connection is required, contact an  
authorized HP dealer for information about an optional serial MIO card  
or a serial-to-parallel converter. The standard built-in Bi-Tronics  
parallel interface allows high-speed two-way communication between  
the mopier and your computer.  
Networking Capabilities  
The mopier includes HP JetDirect Print Server hardware for Ethernet  
and LocalTalk and network configuration software to connect your  
mopier directly to your local area network (LAN). HP JetDirect  
automatically switches among networked protocols, so a single mopier  
can serve many networks at once or be moved to a new network without  
purchasing additional hardware. One additional MIO port on the  
mopier can be used for optional HP JetDirect Print Server hardware for  
Token Ring networks.  
The HP LaserJet 5Si mopier supports the following network operating  
systems:  
Novell NetWare 286 v. 2.15c and beyond; 386 v. 3.11, 3.12, 4.0,

HP TRANSMIT ONCE Feature  
With the introduction of the HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier, Hewlett-Packard  
also introduces the new HP TRANSMIT ONCE feature. When you  
send multiple copies of your document to the mopier, the driver will  
transmit only one request to the mopier for the total number of copies  
you have requested of a single document. Without this feature, the  
driver would transmit one request to the mopier for each copy you  
requested of a single document. This smart new feature requires less  
transmitting time, freeing-up your workstation to tend to other tasks, and  
does not increase network traffic.  
Energy Efficiency  
The mopier’s Power Save feature conserves electricity by substantially  
reducing power consumption when idle for a user-specified length of  
time. As an EPA Energy Star partner, Hewlett-Packard has determined  
that this product meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.  
You may change the POWER SAVE DELAY from the default of 1 hour.  
This item is located in the CONFI GURATI ON MENU on the mopier control  
panel.  
EconoMode  
EconoMode reduces the amount of toner applied to the printed page and  
is ideal for printing document drafts. When EconoMode is on, the print  
on the page appears significantly lighter but is still readable.  
(EconoMode has no effect on the speed of the mopier or the amount of  
energy the mopier uses—it only conserves toner.)

Memory and Memory Management  
Introduction  
The HP LaserJet 5Si print engine comes with 4 MBytes of internal  
memory and a pre-installed 8-MByte single inline memory module  
(SIMM) for a total of 12 MBytes.The print engine has two available  
SIMM slots for additional memory. Memory is added in increments of  
2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 MBytes. You can add up to 64 MBytes of additional  
memory for a total of 76 MBytes. (Note that 32-MByte SIMMs are not  
available from HP; contact third-party providers.)  
The SIMM slots can also hold optional languages, fonts, and other  
SIMM-based products. Your print engine comes with a SIMM for the  
PostScript language installed in one of the slots.  
Memory Enhancement technology (MEt), a standard HP LaserJet  
printer feature, allows most documents to print using the standard  
amount of memory. MEt automatically compresses data to print  
complex pages.

Storing Print Data  
The print engine memory receives, holds, and processes data from  
incoming print jobs. It manages downloaded resources, including PCL  
language, soft fonts, symbol sets, macros, and patterns. The print engine  
also stores PostScript fonts, forms, patterns, and dictionaries.  
If you download a large number of fonts, the 420-MByte hard disk  
optimizes the functionality of your print engine.  
When two or more personalities (such as PCL and PostScript) are  
installed, the print engine reserves a portion of memory for each  
personality’s resources. This feature is called Resource Saving. It  
enables the print engine to keep downloaded resources (such as fonts,  
forms, and macros) in memory under most conditions.  
Saving Resources  
Resource Saving is automatically available on the print engine. By  
default, the print engine allocates resources to each print engine  
personality, based on the amount of memory each personality needs.  
Most users do not need to customize the Resource Saving configuration,  
but you can change the amount of memory allocated to each print  
engine personality.  
See Chapter 4, “Mopier Control Panel,” to learn how to configure  
memory for your print engine.

Determining Memory Requirements  
The amount of memory you need depends on the types of documents  
you print. Your print engine can print most text and graphics at 300 or  
600 dpi without additional memory.  
Add memory to your print engine if you:  
Commonly print complex graphics.  
Use many temporarily downloaded fonts.  
Print complex documents.  
Print duplexed PostScript documents.  
Use advanced functions (such as I/O Buffering and Resource Saving).  
You can add up to 64 MBytes of additional memory for a total of 76  
MBytes.  
Table 2-1 presents the amount of memory required for the most  
common print jobs using 600-dpi printing.

Improving Performance with I/O Buffering  
When you select a print command from your software application, the  
software sends your request to the print engine. To help you get back to  
work more quickly, the print engine reserves a portion of its memory to  
hold the file or page to be printed in an I/O buffer until it is the next to  
be printed.  
For each MByte of memory you add to your mopier, 10 KBytes is  
automatically reserved to hold print jobs in progress. The more memory  
that is reserved, the greater the number of files or pages the mopier can  
store.  
In most cases, it is to your advantage to let the mopier automatically  
reserve memory for I/O buffering. However, you may change the  
amount of the I/O buffer by increments of 100 KBytes up to a maximum  
of 10,000 KBytes.  
See Chapter 4, “Mopier Control Panel,” to learn how to use the mopier’s  
Input/Output (I/O) Menu to change the I/O buffer.  
Note  
When you change the I/O buffer setting, all downloaded resources are  
deleted, unless they are stored on the mopier’s hard disk.

Drivers  
What is a Driver?  
A driver is a software program that enables your software applications  
to access your mopier’s features. For example, when you print a  
document, the application sets up your print job with formatting  
commands such as page breaks, font selections, paper tray selections,  
and number of copies. The driver takes these commands, translates them  
into a printer language (such as Hewlett-Packard’s Printer Control  
Language (PCL) or PostScript), and then sends the job to the printer or  
mopier. The driver’s interface allows you to select various mopier  
features that other software applications don’t support directly, like  
automatic stapling.  
Typically, a driver must be installed on your computer for each printer or  
mopier you are using. Each operating system needs a different printer  
driver. For example, a Windows 3.11 user can user the CD-ROM Install  
Utility to install the Windows PCL and PostScript drivers. The  
exception is UNIX, in which there is no operating system driver; instead  
each application must support the printer directly.  
Most applications allow you to access the printer driver through the  
Properties, Print, Print Setup, or Page Setup commands. Print job  
settings selected through your application typically override equivalent  
settings made through the printer driver. Printer settings made in the  
application or printer driver typically override the corresponding setting  
made on the mopier control panel.  
In some environments, the mopier can send status information back to  
the operating system. This capability is called bidirectional  
communication, since information is sent to and from the mopier. In a  
bidirectional environment, the optional printer accessories are detected  
and enabled in the driver automatically. In non-bidirectional  
environments, accessories that are installed in your mopier need to be  
set manually in your driver. For example, to use the duplexing feature in  
a non-bidirectional environment, you must enable this feature in the  
driver.  
You must install the complete printing system to get bidirectional  
communication. In bidirectional environments, the driver automatically  
detects the existence of those accessories. Drivers must be installed for  
clients. In some environments, drivers are downloaded automatically to  
clients.

Drivers for the HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier  
Overview  
The drivers for the HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier allow you to select mopier  
features that may not be supported directly in your software  
applications. These features allow you to:  
Staple documents.  
Print watermarks.  
Print multiple page images on a single page (n-Up).  
Print the first page of a document on one type of media and the  
remaining pages on another type of media.  
Select the paper on which to print (by source or type).  
Select which output bin to send output to.  
Download fonts to the mopier’s hard disk.  
The drivers included with your mopier also support the HP TRANSMIT  
ONCE feature. This capability frees your workstation for your use  
while multiple copies of your document are printed. The job is only  
transmitted once for the requested number of copies, instead of once for  
each copy.  
Access the drivers directly from your application. The steps needed to  
access the drivers will vary from application to application. Typically, it  
is accessed from the application’s File menu by selecting Print, then  
Printer Options.  
To add options to your selected driver, enable them from within the  
driver. Accessories must appear in the installed list on the Accessories  
tab. For example, if you have physically installed the optional Envelope  
Feeder, you still need to make sure it appears in the installed list on the  
Accessories tab.  
Note  
Note  
To ensure the best mopier performance, and to avoid holding up your  
PC or creating network traffic, turn off the collation feature in your  
application and turn it on in the driver.  
If you cannot access an installed accessory in your driver, click the  
Accessories tab and make sure the accessory appears in the installed  
accessories list. (If you are a Windows 3.1 or 95 client on NetWare 3.x  
and your driver is operating bidirectionally, the Accessories tab will not  
appear. The driver will automatically detect installed accessories. You  
won’t have to manually enable them in the driver.)  
To use the Mailbox with Stapler, you need to indicate the operating  
mode that was chosen by the administrator. To do this, click the  
Accessories tab, select the Mailbox with Stapler from the list of installed

Mopier Control Panel  
Introduction  
This chapter describes the following topics:  
An introduction to the control panel and an explanation of how to use  
each of its options.  
How to print text pages that show the current mopier settings,  
including the configurations for PCL and PostScript.  
Illustration of common messages displayed on the control panel.  
The most convenient way to control your mopier is through your  
software applications or the software that comes with your mopier. In  
fact, commands in your software override control panel settings. Refer  
to the online help files associated with the software for more  
information.  
Note  
In this chapter, control panel refers to the control panel on the mopier,  
not to the Windows Control Panel. Menus refers to the menus on the  
control panel display, not to menus on your computer screen. You reach  
the mopier menus by pressing the [Menus] key.  
Use the mopier control panel for overall configuration requirements or  
to obtain mopier status information. You also can use the control panel  
to access mopier features not supported by your software applications.  
Note  
Refer to the HP JetDirect Print Server Software Installation Guide for  
information about controlling the mopier in a network environment.  
Also refer to the online help files provided with HP JetAdmin and the  
HP LaserJet Utility.

Control Panel Keys  
The control panel arranges various mopier options in a simple menu  
structure similar to the levels of an outline. Each menu contains several  
items. These items are operations the mopier performs when you select  
them.  
Table 4-2 summarizes the function of each control panel key (examples  
are provided later in this chapter).

Control Panel Display  
The control panel presents messages about the mopier in one or two  
lines of the character display.  
Figure 4-3  
Control Panel Character Display  
The control panel displays the following types of messages:  
Ready status messages mean the mopier is ready to accept data.  
Mopier status messages tell you what the mopier is doing at a given  
time. For example:  
PROCESSI NG JOB  
FROM TRAY 2  
Mopier attendance messages tell you to perform some action, such as  
adding paper or clearing a paper jam.  
Error messages communicate data and print errors. The mopier stops  
printing for ten seconds, displays a message, and then automatically  
attempts to return to the online state.  
Service messages communicate a mopier failure. Some errors can be  
cleared by pressing the [Select[*] key or by cycling power to the  
mopier (turn power off and then back on). Others stop all operations  
and require service.

Settings and Defaults  
The mopier makes most printing decisions based on either temporary  
settings or permanent defaults.  
Note  
Settings you send from software applications override equivalent mopier  
defaults.  
Table 4-3  
Settings and Defaults  
Setting or  
Default  
Explanation  
Temporary setting A value set for the current print job by your software application. For  
example, if your mopier default is portrait, you can request your software  
to print pages with a landscape orientation. This temporary setting  
remains in effect until the current print job is finished.  
Control panel  
default  
A value set at the control panel by selecting a menu item and pressing  
[Select *]. An asterisk (*) next to the item name indicates that it is now  
the default. The mopier retains this new value even when power is  
switched OFF.  
Factory default  
The value set for each menu item at the factory. Factory defaults  
(permanent default settings) are listed in Table 4-4.  
Restoring Factory Settings  
1 With power off, press and hold [On]Line].  
2 Continue to hold [On]Line] and turn the mopier on (push power ON).  
3 Hold [On]Line] until this message appears:  
COLD RESET  
This message is followed by the power-on self test message. Then the  
following message appears:  
RESTORI NG FACTORY  
SETTI NGS  
until the mopier system completes power-on initialization.  
Factory defaults are listed in Table 4-4.  
Note  
By printing a PCL configuration page, you can see the current settings  
and all the choices available. Refer to Figures 4-4 and 4-5 later in this  
chapter.

2 Press [Items] repeatedly to scroll through the trays and their types.  
Note  
Tray 1 and the optional Envelope Feeder do not have a sensor for  
identifying paper size. If either is being used, you will also have a menu  
item for media size. You must set the size of the paper loaded before  
continuing. Paper sizes for Trays 2, 3, and 4 are automatically sensed.  
3 Press [+] repeatedly to scroll through the paper type or size options.  
4 Press [Select]*] to save your choice.  
Selecting media by type rather than source is similar to locking out the  
tray(s), which is a feature of previous HP LaserJet printers. If you have  
letterhead loaded in Tray 1, and you select to print on plain paper in  
your driver, the mopier will not pull the letterhead paper from Tray 1.  
However, the mopier will pull from either of the other trays if plain  
paper is loaded, and has been set on the mopier control panel.  
Job Control Menu  
The Job Control Menu is used to cancel a current job or to eject data that  
has been sent to the mopier. The CANCEL JOB option will cancel the job  
from the mopier control panel. The FORMFEED option is useful when the  
data light is on, but nothing is printing out. This situation occurs when  
the application has not told the mopier when it’s done sending data.

menu items.

Media Use Guidelines  
The previous table presents guidelines for using media in the mopier.  
Media that does not meet these guidelines may increase the incidence of  
paper jams, cause premature wear to the mopier, and contribute to repair  
costs.  
Before purchasing any media or specialized forms in quantity, make  
sure your paper supplier obtains and understands the paper and print  
media requirements specified in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper  
Specification Guide, which is available through HP Direct Distribution.  
Refer to Chapter 7, “Calling for Help,” for ordering information.  
Note  
Hewlett-Packard neither warrants nor recommends the use of a  
particular brand of print media. Media properties are subject to change  
by the manufacturer, and HP has no control over these changes. It is  
possible that paper could meet all of the guidelines and still not print  
satisfactorily. This might be due to improper handling, unacceptable  
temperature and humidity levels in the room, or other variables over  
which HP has no control.  
HP recommends testing any paper before buying it in large quantities.  
CAUTION  
Using media outside the specifications listed on the previous pages or in  
the HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specification Guide may cause  
problems requiring service. This service is not covered by the  
Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.

Media Use Guidelines  
Media Type  
Guidelines  
2
For best results, use conventional 20-lb (75 g/m ) xerographic paper. Make sure the paper is  
of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and  
curled or bent edges.  
Paper and  
Preprinted Forms  
Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations (including standard pre-punched paper) with  
holes 8 mm or larger.  
Do not use letterhead papers that are printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in  
some types of thermography.  
Use only colored papers or preprinted forms that use inks compatible with your mopier’s fusing  
temperature (392°F/200°C for 0.1 second).  
Keep paper stored in moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes in moisture content that  
may cause poor print quality, jamming, or curling.  
Avoid paper with ragged cut edges to prevent feeding problems.  
2
Do not use paper heavier than 28-lb (105 g/m ) from trays other than Tray 1. Tray 1 can feed  
2
16-lb Bond to 110-lb Index (60 - 199 g/m ) paper. Heavier paper may cause misfeeds,  
stacking problems, paper jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, and excessive mechanical  
wear.  
Do not use paper that is very rough, very smooth, or embossed. Such paper may cause  
feeding or print quality problems, and rough papers may have poor toner adhesion.  
Use only labels recommended for use in laser printers.  
Use only the Left Output Bin for printing labels.  
Adhesive Labels  
The adhesive material should be stable at the 392° F/200° C temperatures encountered in the  
mopier’s fusing process. None of the adhesive between the labels should be exposed.  
Use labels with no exposed areas between labels. Using label stock with spaces between  
labels often causes labels to peel off during the printing cycle, causing serious jamming  
problems. Use a sheet of labels only once.  
Labels must lie flat with no more than 0.5 in (13 mm) of curl in any direction.  
Do not use labels that have separated from the backing sheet or with wrinkles, bubbles, or  
other indications of delamination.  
Overhead transparencies used in HP LaserJet printers must be able to withstand the  
392°F/200°C temperature encountered in the mopier’s fusing process.  
Overhead  
Transparencies  
Use only transparencies recommended for use in laser printers. Because transparency films  
tend to stick to each other, remove each transparency from the output bin before printing the  
next one.  
Use only the Left or Top Output Bins for printing transparencies.  
2
The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed a 24-lb (90 g/m ) Bond rating, or  
Envelopes  
jamming may result. Use only the Left or Top Output Bins for printing envelopes.  
Envelopes should lie flat with less than 0.25 in (6 mm) curl.  
Do not use envelopes with windows or clasps.  
Make sure envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.  
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must  
use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure of the fusing rollers in the mopier. The  
extra flaps and strips may result in wrinkling or creasing, and may cause jamming.

Paper Trays 1, 2, 3, and 4  
You can load a single sheet of paper into Tray 1 or a stack of up to 100  
sheets. Tray 1 (multi-purpose) is used for standard and custom paper  
sizes, envelopes, labels, and transparencies.  
Paper Trays 2 and 3 each hold up to 500 sheets of 20-lb Bond paper.  
Tray 4 holds up to 2000 sheets of 20-lb bond paper.

Adjustable paper size guides for each of the media listed are located  
inside the paper trays. See Tables 5-1 and 5-2 earlier in this chapter for  
media selection and use guidelines.  
When all trays have the same type and size media loaded, by default the  
mopier prints from paper sources in the following order:  
1. Tray 1  
2. Tray 4  
3. Tray 2  
4. Tray 3  
For example, assume all paper sources contain the same size of paper. If  
you have specified Tray 1 or Automatic, send a print request to the  
mopier, and Tray 1 is empty, the mopier prints from Tray 4. If Tray 4 is  
also empty, the mopier prints from Tray 2, and then from Tray 3.

do not print them two-sided.  
When printing multiple transparencies,  
promptly remove each print as soon as it

Envelopes in Tray 1  
You can print up to ten envelopes from Tray 1. This section explains  
how to print an envelope using your software application. Table 5-1 lists  
the kinds of envelopes you can print. Check the media use guidelines in  
Table 5-2 before loading envelopes. (See “Media Use Guidelines”  
earlier in this chapter.)  
CAUTION  
Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings,  
self-stick adhesives (peel and seal), or other synthetic materials. These  
items can severely damage your mopier. Never try to print on both sides  
of an envelope. Jamming and mopier damage can result. Do not staple  
envelopes or send them to mailbox bins.  
Before you load an envelope in Tray 1, check to make sure it is  
rectangular in shape and undamaged. It is a good idea to run a pen or  
pencil down the leading edge (side being fed into the mopier) to flatten  
it before you insert it in Tray 1.

Output Bins  
The Top Output Bin, located at the top of the mopier (see 1 in Figure  
5-2), holds up to 500 sheets of paper in the correct order as they exit the  
mopier. A sensor causes the mopier to stop when the paper bin is full.  
Printing continues when you empty or reduce the amount of paper in the  
bin. The Top Output Bin is the factory default bin.  
The Left Output Bin, located on the upper left side of the mopier (see 2  
in Figure 5-2), holds up to 125 sheets of paper face up as they exit the  
mopier. This bin is mainly used for special media types, such as labels  
or transparencies, that cannot tolerate the curved paper path of the Top  
Output Bin. This output bin does not sense when the bin is full.  
The Mailbox with Stapler (see 4 in Figure 5-2) attaches to the left side  
of the mopier. The mailbox contains five bins which hold up to 250  
sheets each. It can work in one of the following three modes:  
Mailbox - Each bin can be addressed individually as the output  
destination, and can have a name assigned to it by the network or  
mopier administrator.  
Job Separation - Automatically separates incoming jobs assigning a  
bin to each job, which may include multiple copies. It uses all five  
mailbox bins for this purpose, but is seen in the mopier software as  
one logical bin. If a mailbox bin is full, the mopier round robins to  
the other bins, or it puts the overflow in the top output bin.  
Stacking - This mode stacks the printed output from the lowest bin to  
the top, regardless of job boundaries. This mode of operation takes  
advantage of the total capacity of the five mailbox bins. The device is  
seen by the mopier software as one logical bin.  
In a bidirectional environment, the mopier automatically selects the  
mode established by the network administrator. In nonbidirectional  
environments, you can change the mode in the driver. The method for  
changing the mode varies by driver and by operating system. Refer to  
your driver’s on-line help.  
The mopier control panel will display different messages depending on  
which mode you are using.

Printing to the Mailbox with Stapler  
The Mailbox with Stapler can work in one of three modes: mailbox  
mode, job separation mode, or stacking mode. The network or printer  
administrator determines which mode of operation is chosen through an  
HP network configuration utility, such as HP JetAdmin or HP LaserJet  
Utility. You need to set up your mopier driver to reflect the mode chosen  
by the administrator. Bidirectional environments automatically reflect  
the administrator’s choices in your printer driver.  
The mopier control panel displays different names for the mailboxes and

Stapling Documents  
The stapler can staple documents of 2 to 20 pages on 16 lb. to 20 lb.  
paper, Letter and A4 size only. The stapler should not be set as the  
default output bin. If your job is only one page, or if it is greater than 20  
pages, the mopier will print your job to the bin, but it will not be stapled.  
The stapler bin can hold up to 350 stapled sheets. To have your job

2 Calculate margins to identify the area  
to be printed. Illustration 2 and steps  
2a and 2b show how to calculate a  
margin for 3.9 x 7.5-in (99 x 191 mm)  
paper.  
a. Take the maximum paper width  
size 11.7 in (297 mm) and subtract  
3.9 in (99 mm) for the width of the  
paper. Take the answer, 7.8 in (198  
mm), and divide it by 2, which equals  
3.9 in (99 mm).  
In your software application, select a  
left margin of 3.9 in (99 mm) and a  
right margin of 3.9 in (99 mm).  
b. If your software allows, also set the  
bottom margin. Take the maximum  
paper length size, 17.7 in (450 mm),  
and subtract 7.5 in (191 mm), the  
length of the paper. The bottom  
margin equals 10.2 in (259 mm).

Print Quality  
Introduction  
The HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier prints at true 600 dots-per-inch (dpi) with  
Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) and MicroFine toner. REt  
adjusts the size and placement of each dot to smooth angles and curves.  
Combined with MicroFine toner, this sharpens the appearance of text  
and graphics. The mopier also offers 300-dpi printing with REt to give  
you a wider range of printing alternatives.  
This chapter tells you how to:  
Choose print resolution.  
Fine-tune print quality by adjusting the print density.  
Improve print quality.  
Use EconoMode to print drafts and save toner.  
Note  
To find the current mopier settings, use the mopier control panel to print  
a configuration page. This procedure is described in “Test Menu” in  
Chapter 4, “Mopier Control Panel.”

Print Resolution  
You can select 300- or 600-dpi resolution for your printed page; however,  
600 dpi (the default setting) provides better print quality. If available, you  
can select resolution through your software application; otherwise you can  
use the control panel.

Print Density  
Print density is a measure of the darkness of the print on the page. The  
degree of darkness depends on how much toner is applied to the paper  
while printing.  
Print density adjustments are made through the control panel. Settings  
range from Print Density = 1 to Print Density = 5, with 5 being the  
darkest setting. See the procedure below to change the print density  
setting from the control panel. Changes to this setting are effective  
during a printed job within one or two pages.  
Note  
The higher the print density setting, the more toner the mopier uses. To  
extend the life of your toner cartridge, choose lighter print density  
settings.  
If available, you can change this setting through your software  
application; otherwise, use the control panel.  
Adjusting Print Density from the Control Panel  
1 Press [Menus] repeatedly until PRI NT QUALI TY MENU appears.  
2 Press [Items] repeatedly until PRI NT DENSI TY=3* appears.  
3 Press [+] repeatedly until the desired setting appears.

Solving Print Quality Problems  
Solutions to general causes of print quality problems are given in the  
checklist below, followed by specific samples of common print quality  
problems. If the listed solutions do not work, see Chapter 7,  
“Maintenance and Troubleshooting,” for other possible solutions.  
Below are the actions you can take if you have problems with print  
quality:  
Check the EconoMode setting; be sure it is OFF. (See “EconoMode”  
later in this chapter.)  
Redistribute the toner in the toner cartridge. (See Chapter 7.)  
Clean the inside of the mopier. (See Chapter 7.)  
Adjust the print density. (See “Print Density” earlier in this chapter.)  
Check the paper type and quality. (See Tables 5-1 and 5-2 in Chapter  
5, “Print Tasks,” for media selection and use guidelines.)  
Make sure you are printing at 600-dpi resolution.  
Adjust the REt setting to ON or OFF.  
Replace the toner cartridge.  
Note  
Toner cartridges should be allowed to stabilize at room temperature  
prior to use; otherwise, print quality may be affected.

Print Quality 6-5  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Note  
All sample pages depict Letter size and portrait orientation. Similar  
problems may show up on different paper edges, depending on the paper  
feed.  
Fading  
If a white streak or faded area appears on the page (in the direction the  
paper passes through the mopier):  
The toner cartridge supply is low. Remove the toner cartridge from  
the mopier and rotate it back and forth. If shaking the cartridge does  
not improve the print quality, replace the toner cartridge.  
The print density adjustment is too light. Adjust print density.  
Dropouts  
If faded areas, generally rounded, occur randomly on the page:  
The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has moist  
spots on its surface. Try paper from a different source.  
The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause some  
areas to reject toner.  
Try paper from a different source. If using paper within the specification  
required by the mopier does not correct your problem, your mopier may  
need service (refer to Table 5-1 in Chapter 5 for media selection  
guidelines). Contact your authorized HP dealer or your HP service  
representative.  
Lines  
If sharp black streaks appear on the page (in the direction the paper  
passes through the mopier), the light-sensitive drum inside the toner  
cartridge has probably been scratched. Replace the toner cartridge.  
If smeared black streaks appear (in the direction the paper passes  
through the mopier), the fuser may be bad. Contact your HP service  
representative.

EN  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Toner Smear  
If toner smears appear on the leading edge (as it passes through the  
mopier) of the paper, the paper guides are dirty. Clean the mopier as  
described in Chapter 7.  
If toner on the paper is loose or can be wiped off easily, your fuser may  
be damaged. Contact your authorized HP dealer or your HP service  
representative.  
Background Gray Toner Shading  
If the amount of background toner shading becomes unacceptable:  
Lower the density setting. (See “Print Density” earlier in this  
chapter.) This decreases the amount of background shading.  
Replace the toner cartridge.  
Change the paper to a lighter basis weight.  
Check the mopier’s environment; very dry (low humidity)  
conditions can increase the amount of background shading.  
If these procedures do not fix the problem, the transfer roller may need  
to be replaced. Contact your authorized HP dealer or your HP service  
representative.  
Repetitive Defects  
If any of the following marks appear repeatedly on the printed side of  
the page, replace the toner cartridge:  
If a repetitive mark occurs every 3 3/4 inches (94 mm) in the  
direction the paper passes through the mopier, the toner cartridge  
drum is damaged.  
If a repetitive mark occurs every 2 inches (51 mm) in the direction  
the paper passes through the mopier, the developer roller is  
damaged.  
If black lines occur every 1 1/2 inches (38 mm) on the back of the  
page, the charger roller is damaged.  
If defects occur every 2 3/8 inches (61 mm) on the back of the page, the  
transfer roller has toner on it. This problem will likely correct itself after  
a few pages.

Improperly Formed Characters  
If characters are improperly formed, producing hollow characters, your  
paper stock may be too slick. Make sure that the EconoMode setting is  
set to OFF. Try a different paper.  
If characters are improperly formed, producing a wavy effect, the laser  
scanner needs service. Call your authorized HP dealer or HP service  
representative.  
Line at Edge of Paper  
If a line appears on the top of the paper toward the end of the toner  
cartridge life (usually on the right side and running the direction that the  
paper travels through the mopier), the drum in your toner cartridge is  
wearing out. The line will grow wider, with cross-hatching. Replace the  
toner cartridge. Shaking the cartridge does not relieve the problem.

EconoMode  
EconoMode lowers printing costs by reducing the amount of toner on  
the printed page. When set to ON, the printed image is lighter but still  
readable, as shown in Figure 6-2, side (A). Full time use may result in a  
loss of print quality due to normal toner cartridge mechanical wear.  
Normal printing with the EconoMode set to off is shown in Figure 6-2,

Maintenance and Troubleshooting  
Introduction  
This chapter describes normal routine maintenance, which includes:  
Cleaning the mopier  
Working with the toner cartridge  
Extending toner cartridge life  
Clearing the TONER LOW message  
Replacing staples  
Clearing staple jams  
The following sections help you troubleshoot the most common mopier  
problems, clear paper jams, and understand mopier messages.  
Cleaning Tasks  
To maintain print quality, thoroughly clean your mopier:  
Every time you change the toner cartridge  
After printing approximately 15,000 images  
Whenever print quality problems occur  
Clean the outside of the mopier with a lightly water-dampened cloth.  
Clean the inside with only a dry, lint-free cloth. Observe the warnings  
and cautions that follow the cleaning tasks on the following page.  
CAUTION  
To avoid permanent damage to the toner cartridge, do not use  
ammonia-based cleaners on or around your mopier.

Toner Cartridge  
Extending Toner Cartridge Life  
The life of your toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner your  
print jobs require. When you print word-processed text, average toner  
cartridge yield is 15,000 pages printed at 5% coverage. (A typical  
full-page business letter is about 5% coverage.) This assumes that the  
print density setting is in the middle range. Using EconoMode can  
further extend average toner cartridge yield. (See Chapter 6, “Print  
Quality.”)  
EconoMode extends toner usage beyond the specified 15,000 images.  
However, extended use of the toner cartridge assembly may result in  
wear of moving parts within the cartridge; this may produce unusual  
noises. Because of this HP cautions you not to use EconoMode full time.  
Storing and Installing the Toner Cartridge  
Do not remove the toner cartridge from its packaging until you are ready  
to use it. The shelf life of an unopened cartridge package is  
approximately 2 1/2 years; the shelf life of an opened cartridge package  
is approximately six months. Use the cartridge before the expiration date  
(the expiration date is stamped on your toner cartridge box).  
To install a new toner cartridge, follow the instructions in the  
Installation Instruction Guide included in your toner cartridge box. A  
separate Recycling Instruction Guide is also included.  
WARNING  
Avoid touching the adjacent fusing area. It may be HOT.  
HP Policy on Use of Non-HP Toner Cartridges  
Hewlett-Packard does not recommend use of non-HP toner cartridges,  
either new or remanufactured. HP cannot influence or control the quality  
of these cartridges because they are not HP products.

print quality by redistributing the toner.  
1 Open the mopier’s top cover.  
2 Remove the toner cartridge.  
WARNING  
Avoid touching the adjacent fusing  
area in the print engine. It may be  
HOT.  
3 Rotate the toner cartridge back and  
forth five or six times to redistribute  
toner.  
4 Reinsert the toner cartridge and close  
the top cover.  
The TONER LOW message may continue to  
appear, but the print quality should  
improve. If the print remains light, replace  
the toner cartridge using the instructions  
in the Installation Instruction Guide  
inside the toner cartridge box.

Clearing the TONER LOW Message  
When the toner level in the toner cartridge gets low, a TONER LOW  
message appears in the control panel display. You can either rotate the  
cartridge back and forth to redistribute the toner (shown in the previous  
section) or replace the cartridge. If you continue to use the cartridge,  
your print will become lighter and white streaks may appear.  
From the Configuration Menu, you can set TONER LOW=STOP or TONER  
LOW=CONTI NUE.  
When set to TONER LOW=CONTI NUE, the mopier continues to print  
after detecting that toner is low. The TONER LOW message is  
displayed on the control panel instead of READY. Use TONER  
LOW=CONTI NUE when printing long or unattended print jobs.  
When set to TONER LOW=STOP, the mopier stops printing and goes  
offline when low toner is detected. To resume printing, press  
[Select *]. The mopier continues to display the TONER LOW message  
until you change the cartridge. The default setting is TONER  
LOW=STOP.

Mopier is usually  
slow to respond.  
1. Mopier speed is highly dependent on how your software  
application is set up, which mopier driver you are using, and how  
much traffic is on the network. See the Getting Started Guide for  
configuration information.  
2. You may need to add more memory. See Chapter 1, “About Your  
Mopier,” for HP memory part numbers. Also see the “Determining  
Memory Requirements” section in Chapter 2, “Memory and  
Memory Management.”  
Printing Incomplete or Incorrect  
Situation  
Solution  
Blank pages print.  
1. Turn the mopier OFF and then back ON.  
2. Make sure toner cartridge is installed properly.  
3. Make sure the toner cartridge sealing tape has been removed.  
(See the Getting Started Guide or the installation guide that came  
with your toner cartridge.)  
Garbled pages print,  
there are overprints,  
or only a portion of a  
page prints.  
1. Ensure that your software application is configured for the correct  
mopier.  
2. Replace the mopier interface (I/O) cable with a cable you know  
works to see if the cable is defective.  
3. Your parallel printer cable quality may be defective. Use a high-quality  
cable; see Chapter 1 for an HP cable part number.  
4. Set the PERSONALI TY item in the Configuration Menu to AUTO  
(see Chapter 4). The mopier may have been set to PCL and a  
PostScript job was sent to the mopier, or vic versa.  
5. Data file sent to the mopier may be corrupt. Try sending another  
file to see if it prints.  
The job wasn’t  
duplexed.  
You may need to add more printer memory. See Chapter 1, “About  
Your Mopier,” for HP memory part numbers. Also see the “Determining  
Memory Requirements” section in Chapter 2, “Memory and Memory  
Management.”

Situation  
Solution  
Data is missing, but  
there are no mopier  
messages.  
1. Check your software application to be sure the print file contains  
no errors.  
2. Check your cable to ensure that it is securely connected to both  
the mopier connector and the computer connector.  
3. Your parallel printer cable may be defective. Use a high-quality  
cable; see Chapter 1 for an HP printer cable part number.  
Printing stops in the  
middle of the job.  
1. Check the control panel for an error message.  
2. If you are on a network, make sure your computer is correctly  
configured and there is not a network problem (see your network  
administrator).  
3. Check your line voltage to ensure that it is steady and within  
mopier specifications. (See Appendix A, “Specifications.”) Turn the  
mopier OFF and then back ON.  
4. Check the time-out setting in your network application. It may  
need to be increased.  
5. If you are trying to copy a file to the mopier from the DOS prompt,  
use the copy command COPY filename LPTn /B(where n is  
the number of printer port, such as LPT1).  
Note: To output the page, you may have to send a formfeed  
command from your computer or from the Job Control Menu.

Mopier Ignores Font, Format, or Tray/Bin Selection  
Situation  
Solution  
Mopier prints some  
wrong fonts or  
formats.  
1. The font is not present in the mopier and must be downloaded by  
your software application or the proper font SIMM must be  
installed. Check your software program to ensure the correct  
mopier driver has been installed and configured. To verify that the  
font or format you want is available, print a font list (see Chapter 4).  
2. Your software selected a substitute font for one that is not  
available in the mopier. (See your software application manual for  
more information on font selection.)  
Mopier draws media  
from the wrong  
paper source.  
1. Be sure your software application is selecting the correct size of  
media.  
2. Ensure that the driver for your software application is correctly  
installed, configured, and capable of requesting desired size and  
type of media.  
3. The size of paper you are requesting is not in the tray you have  
selected. The mopier draws paper from the next default tray with  
the correct size. Put the correct size paper in the tray and make  
sure it is adjusted correctly. Check Tray Menu for correct type and  
size (for Tray 1). For Trays 2–4 look at the size loaded and correct  
as needed. Ensure that the tray is loaded with enough paper to  
complete the print job.  
4. If you selected the 2000-Sheet Input Tray (Tray 4) and did not turn  
the mopier off when installing it, the mopier does not recognize it  
and draws paper from the next default paper size source. (Switch  
the mopier OFF, then back ON, and the mopier will recognize  
Tray 4.)  
Mopier prints in

1. Ensure that the mopier personality (such as PostScript) is installed  
in the mopier (see Chapter 4).  
2. If your software application allows you to set personality, ensure  
that it is set for the correct one. If your software application does  
not allow you to select personality, set the PERSONALI TY item in the  
CONFI GURATI ON MENU to the correct personality (see Chapter 4).

Note  
Open and close all mopier covers to clear the paper jam message. After  
removing a sheet of paper you may need to check other areas to ensure  
that all paper has been removed.  
Whenever a sheet of jammed paper becomes badly shredded it is a good  
idea to carefully piece all parts together to be sure you haven’t  
overlooked some small part. All portions of a jammed piece of paper  
must be removed or you may run into repeated jams.  
If after you clear a paper jam (by following the procedures on the next  
few pages) the mopier still jams, there are a few things you can do:  
Use the JAM RECOVERY=ON menu item under the PostScript Menu. The  
mopier will attempt to automatically recover from paper jams.  
Execute a formfeed from the computer or the mopier control panel (a  
menu item under the Job Control Menu). A formfeed may flush any  
paper or envelopes left in the mopier.  
Check to make sure you have located and removed all scraps of paper  
from inside the mopier.  
Use the Error Log Page and Error Codes to aid you in isolating where  
the errors are occurring. (See Chapter 4 “Error Log Page,” and the  
“Mopier Messages” table at the end of this chapter.)  
Ensure the area under the registration in not jammed. Remove the toner  
cartridge and lift the two green tabs located below the toner cartridge  
area.  
Also refer to “Repeated Paper Jams” later in this chapter.  
Paper jams occur most often when:  
Paper trays are not correctly loaded (see Chapter 5, “Print Tasks”).  
Your print media does not meet the specifications listed in Chapter 5.  
The media is in poor condition.

Clearing the Mailbox with Stapler  
1 Turn off the mopier and remove the Left Output Bin.  
2 Refer to (A) in Figure 7-9 and clear paper from the jammed area by  
carefully pulling it out, away from the mopier.  
3 Pull the mailbox away from the mopier and check the area illustrated  
in (B). Carefully remove all scraps.  
4 Also check the fuser area, illustrated in (C).  
Note  
After removing a sheet of paper you may need to check other areas to  
ensure that all paper has been removed. Whenever a sheet of jammed  
paper becomes badly shredded, it is a good idea to carefully piece all  
parts together to be sure you have not overlooked some small part. All  
portions of a jammed piece of paper must be removed or you may run  
into repeated jams.

Repeated Paper Jams  
Situation  
Solution  
General repeated  
paper jam problems  
1. Check to see that media is correctly loaded in the trays, and that  
all width guides are correctly set (not skewed). See Chapter 5,  
“Print Tasks.”  
2. Try turning over the stack of paper in the tray. If you are using  
letterhead paper, try printing from Tray 1.  
3. Do not use previously printed paper or torn, worn, or irregular paper.  
For the recommended paper and other media for your mopier, see  
Chapter 5.  
4. Check the media specifications (if outside of the recommended  
specifications, problems may occur).  
5. Mopier may be dirty. Clean the mopier as described in the first  
section of this chapter.  
6. Check that paper is NOT longer than 17.7 in (450 mm), wider than  
11.7 in (297 mm), shorter than 3.9 in (100 mm), or slimmer than 7.5  
in (191 mm). (These are the maximum and minimum dimensions that  
the mopier can feed, otherwise the mopier will jam.)  
7. Ensure that the paper tray is set for the size of paper installed and  
that the tray is not overloaded with paper.  
If jams continue, contact your authorized HP service provider.

Regulatory Statements  
FCC Regulations  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for  
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These  
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful  
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,  
and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in  
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to  
radio communications.  
There is, however, no guarantee that interference will not occur in a  
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference  
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the  
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the  
interference by one or more of the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate receiving antenna.  
Increase separation between equipment and receiver.  
Connect equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to  
which the receiver is connected.  
Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.  
Note  
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by HP could void  
the user’s authority to operate this equipment. Use of a shielded  
interface cable is required to comply within the Class B limits of Part 15  
of FCC rules.

Safety Information  
Laser Safety  
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food  
and Drug Administration has implemented regulations for laser products  
manufactured since August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products  
marketed in the United States.  
This printer is certified as a “Class 1” laser product under the U.S.  
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation  
Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and  
Safety Act of 1968. Since radiation emitted inside this printer is  
completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the  
laser beam cannot escape during any phase of normal user operation.  
WARNING  
Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other  
than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous  
radiation exposure.  
Ozone Emission  
The HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier does not use high voltage corona wires in  
the electrophotographic process, and therefore generates no measurable  
ozone gas (O3). Instead, this printer uses charging rollers in the toner  
cartridge and in the print engine.  
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)  
Toner Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) can be obtained by calling  
HP First at (800) 333-1917 or (208) 344-4809. HP First is a 24-hour Fax  
information service. International customers should refer to Appendix E  
for appropriate numbers and information.

LASERTURVALLISUUS  
LUOKAN 1 LASERLAITE  
KLASS 1 LASER APPARAT  
HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier laserkirjoitin on käyttäjän kannalta turvallinen luokan 1 laserlaite. Normaalissa käytössä  
kirjoittimen suojakotelointi estää lasersäteen pääsyn laitteen ulkopuolelle. Laitteen turvallisuusluokka on määritetty  
standardin EN 60825-1 (1994) mukaisesti.  
VAROITUS !  
Laitteen käyttäminen muulla kuin käyttöohjeessa mainitulla tavalla saattaa altistaa käyttäjän turvallisuusluokan 1  
ylittävälle näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle.  
VARNING !  
Om apparaten används på annat sätt än i bruksanvisning specificerats, kan användaren utsättas för osynlig  
laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för laserklass 1.  
HUOLTO  
HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier-kirjoittimen sisällä ei ole käyttäjän huollettavissa olevia kohteita. Laitteen saa avata ja  
huoltaa ainoastaan sen huoltamiseen koulutettu henkilö. Tällaiseksi huoltotoimenpiteeksi ei katsota väriainekasetin  
vaihtamista, paperiradan puhdistusta tai muita käyttäjän käsikirjassa lueteltuja, käyttäjän tehtäväksi tarkoitettuja  
ylläpitotoimia, jotka voidaan suorittaa ilman erikoistyökaluja.  
VARO !  
Mikäli kirjoittimen suojakotelo avataan, olet alttiina näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle laitteen ollessa toiminnassa. Älä  
katso säteeseen.  
VARNING !  
Om laserprinterns skyddshölje öppnas då apparaten är i funktion, utsättas användaren för osynlig laserstrålning.

PCL Printer Commands (Escape  
Sequences)  
Most software applications do not require you to enter printer  
commands. See your computer and software documentation to find the  
method to use for entering printer commands.  
PCL printer commands tell the printer which tasks to perform or which  
fonts to use. This appendix is not intended to provide complete  
information about PCL commands, but only to provide a quick reference  
for users who are already familiar with PCL command structure.  
Note  
Table B-3 contains frequently used PCL commands. For a complete  
listing and explanation of how to form PCL, HP-GL/2, and PJL  
commands, see the PCL/PJL Technical Reference Package, which is  
described in “Supplementary Documents” at the front of this manual.  
(See Chapter 7, “Calling for Help,” for ordering information.)  
PCL Printer Command Syntax  
Before using printer commands, note these characters:  
Lowercase l:  
Number one:  
l
1
Uppercase O:  
Number 0:  
O
0
Many printer commands use the lowercase letter l (l ) and the number  
one (1), or the uppercase letter O (O) and the number zero (0). These  
characters may not appear on your screen as shown here. You must use  
the exact character and case specified for PCL printer commands.

Setup Strings  
Some software applications, like older versions of Lotus 1-2-3 for DOS,  
require setup strings with PCL printer commands. In the following  
example, the Lotus escape character (\027) is shown. This setup string is  
used to change the orientation to landscape and to select the small Line  
Printer font.  
\ 027&l 1O\ 027(s0p16.67h8.5v0s0b0T  
PCL Font Selection  
PCL printer commands for selecting fonts appear in the PCL Typeface  
List (see Chapter 3, “Software and Printer Drivers”). An example from  
this list is shown below. Notice the two variable boxes for symbol set  
? (” and point size.  
If these variables are not filled in, the printer uses defaults. For example,  
if you want a symbol set that contains line-draw characters, select the  
10U (PC-8) or 12U (PC-850) symbol set. Other common symbol set  
codes are listed in Table B-2. Order the PCL/PJL Technical Reference  
Package if you require symbol set charts or want more information.

Memory and Personality SIMM  
Installation  
Your HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier has four single inline memory module  
(SIMM) slots. One slot is occupied by a 8 MByte memory SIMM and  
another slot is occupied by a SIMM holding Adobe’s PostScript Level 2  
language. Therefore, there are two available slots that you can use to  
install additional printer memory and printer personalities.  
The mopier contains 12 MBytes of installed memory. By adding  
optional SIMMs with 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 MBytes, you can increase  
memory to a total of 76 MBytes.  
Note  
Memory SIMMs for the HP LaserJet 4 Plus and 4M Plus printers can be  
used in the HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier. PostScript language SIMMs for any

Installing a SIMM Board  
CAUTION  
SIMM boards and your printer formatter  
board can be damaged by small amounts  
of static electricity. When handling a  
SIMM or other board, wear an antistatic  
wrist strap connected to the metal frame  
of the printer (or to your antistatic  
system). During installation, to prevent  
generation of static electricity, avoid  
moving about the work area.

To avoid damaging the parts, follow these  
steps:  
1 In this order, switch the printer power  
OFF, unplug the power cord, and  
disconnect any attached cables.  
2 Loosen (but do not remove) the two  
captive screws. If you are not wearing  
an antistatic wrist strap, touch the  
printer’s bare metal plate.  
3 Grasp the screws and pull the printer  
controller board out of the printer. Do  
not touch any component on the  
board. Place the board on a flat,  
nonconductive surface. (For ease of  
replacement, note how the board fits  
into slots in the printer.)

4 Remove the SIMM board from the  
antistatic package. Do not touch any  
component on the SIMM board. Hold  
the board with your forefingers on the  
side edges and your thumbs against  
the back edge, so the notch on one  
end is on the right and the metal teeth  
face toward the SIMM slot.

SIMM, you must first release the  
metal locking tabs.)

Testing a SIMM Board  
Use the procedures below to print a self test to verify SIMM board  
installation. Procedures are given for both memory and PostScript or  
other personality SIMMs.  
Verifying a Memory SIMM  
1 Plug in the power cord and switch the printer ON.  
2 After a few seconds, the On Line indicator should light and READY  
should appear in the control panel display. If a printer message  
appears, see the “Optional SIMM Board Troubleshooting” section in  
Chapter 7, “Maintenance and Troubleshooting.”  
3 Press [Menus] until TEST MENU appears.  
4 Press [Items] until PCL CONFI GURATI ON PAGE appears.  
5 Press [Select]*] to print a self test.  
Locate “Total Memory” on the configuration page printout. This is the  
amount of memory now installed in your printer. (See Chapter 4,  
“Mopier Control Panel,” for more information.)  
If the amount of memory has not increased since installing the SIMM, it  
may not be installed correctly (repeat installation procedure) or it may  
be defective. (See “Optional SIMM Board Troubleshooting” in  
Chapter 7.)

Verifying a PostScript SIMM  
1 Plug in the power cord and turn the printer ON.  
2 After a few seconds, the On Line light should go on and READY  
should appear in the control panel display. If a printer message  
appears instead, see the “Optional SIMM Board” section in Chapter 7.  
3 Press [Menus] until POSTSCRI PT MENU appears. This indicates that  
your printer recognizes that the PostScript language is installed. If  
POSTSCRI PT MENU does not appear, check the SIMM installation.  
Note  
Only a PostScript language SIMM designed for this mopier can be used.

HP Maintenance Agreements  
HP has several types of maintenance agreements that meet a wide range  
of support needs.  
On-Site Service Agreements  
To provide you with the support level best suited to your system  
usageand support budget, HP has on-site service agreements with three  
response times:  
Priority On-Site Service is designed for production-critical applications,  
giving you four-hour service response to your site for calls made during  
normal HP business hours.  
Next Day On-site Service provides on-site support by the next working  
day following your service request. Extended coverage hours and  
extended travel beyond HP designated service zones are available for  
additional charges on most on-site service agreements.  
Weekly (Volume) On-site Service Agreement, for organizations with  
many HP LaserJet printers, provides economical, scheduled on-site  
coverage. Designated for customer sites using 25 or more workstation  
products, this service provides scheduled weekly repair visits to your  
central location. HP can write an agreement for any combination of 25  
or more workstation products including printers, plotters, computers,  
and disk drives.

Warranty  
This warranty entitles you to standard warranty services for your printer  
and is available from HP worldwide. However, there may be local  
variations in the level of warranty service. You should contact the local  
HP Service Center to check for the applicable local warranty in your  
country or province.  
One-Year On-Site Limited Warranty  
Hewlett-Packard warrants its computer hardware products against  
defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from  
purchase by the end user. During the warranty period, HP will, at its  
option, either repair or replace products which prove to be defective.  
The warranty period begins either on the date of delivery or, where the  
purchase price includes installation by Hewlett-Packard, on the date of  
installation.  
Should HP be unable to repair or replace the product within a reasonable  
amount of time, you will be entitled to a refund of the purchase price if  
you return the product.  
To have your printer serviced by HP you should contact the closest HP  
Service Center.  
Exclusions  
The warranty on your HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier shall not apply to defects  
resulting from:  
Improper or inadequate maintenance by customer.  
Customer supplied software or interfacing.  
Unauthorized modification or misuse.  
Operation outside of the environmental specifications for the product.  
Operation of non-supported printing media.  
Duty cycle abuse (see note on page D-3).  
Operating the printer from a mechanical switch box without a  
designated surge protector.  
Improper site preparation and maintenance.  
Failure to perform key operator maintenance every 350,000 pages.  
Use of non-HP toner cartridges (see the note following), memory boards  
or interface boards.  
D-2 Warranty and Software License  
EN  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Note  
The use of a non-HP or refilled toner cartridge alone does not affect  
either your warranty or any maintenance contract you may have  
purchased. However, if an HP LaserJet printer failure or damage is  
found to be attributable directly to the use of a non-HP toner cartridge,  
HP will not repair the printer free-of-charge. In this case, standard time  
and materials charges will be applied to service your printer for that  
particular failure or damage.  
Operation of the printer beyond the limit of its duty cycle (printing  
greater than the equivalent of 100,000 single-sided pages per month)  
shall be deemed printer abuse and all repairs thereafter will be billed on  
a time and materials basis.  
If you are using a mechanical switch box, ensure that it is equipped with  
a surge protector. Damage to your printer could occur from the use of  
unprotected mechanical switch boxes.  
Warranty Limitations  
The warranty set forth above is exclusive and no other warranty,  
whether written or oral, is expressed or implied. Hewlett-Packard  
specifically disclaims the implied warranties of merchantability and  
fitness for a particular purpose.  
Service During the Warranty Period  
If your hardware should fail during the warranty period, contact an  
authorized HP dealer or an HP Customer Service Center.  
Service After the Warranty Period  
If your hardware fails after the warranty period, contact an authorized  
HP dealer or your local Customer Service Center. If you have an HP  
Maintenance Agreement, request service under your agreement.
