About Your Printer 1-3

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 printer control panel. In some environments, the printer can send status information back to the operating system. This capability is called bi-directional communication, since information is sent to and from the printer. In a bi-directional environment, the optional printer accessories are detected and enabled in the driver automatically. In non-bi-directional environments, accessories that are installed in your printer need to be set manually in your driver.

HP LaserJet 5Si/5Si MX/5Si NX Printer Drivers

Overview

The drivers for the HP LaserJet 5Si/5Si MX/5Si NX printers allow the selection of printer 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 printers hard disk (if installed) Access the drivers directly from your application. The steps needed to access the drivers may vary from application to application. Typically, they are accessed from the applications File menu by selecting Print, then Printer Options.
To ensure the best performance when using collation, turn off the collation feature in your application and turn it on in the driver. If an installed accessory is not available in the driver, click the Accessories tab and ensure that the accessory appears in the installed accessories list. (If bi-directional communication is functioning, the Accessories tab will not appear. The driver will automatically detect installed accessories.)
The following sections list the drivers available on the Printing System CD. For more information on drivers, see the on-line help provided within your selected driver.

PCL drivers

The Printing System includes PCL drivers for the following systems:

Stapling Documents

The stapler can staple documents of 2 to 20 pages on 16 lb. to 20 lb. bond 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 printer 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 stapled, send it to OPTIONAL OUTBIN 7.
Selecting the Stapler through the Software
You can select the stapler through your software application or printer driver. This is the recommended method for stapling. If you are unable to designate the paper destination in your software or printer driver, follow the instructions below for setting the overall default printer output bin selection.
Where and how you make selections depends on your software application or associated printer driver. The selection process may be available only from within the printer driver. See Chapter 3, Printer Software, or your application manual for more information.
Selecting the Stapler as default destination from the Control Panel
If your software does not support stapling, set it using the directions below.

5-28 Print Tasks

3 Press [+] repeatedly until PAPER DESTINATION= OUTBIN 7 appears.
Your network administrator may have changed the name of this bin. For example, it may be called STAPLER.

Print Tasks 5-29

Different First Page
Use the following procedure to print the first page of a document on preprinted or special paper, such as a letter with just the first page on letterhead paper. 1 Select a different paper for the first page in your application or printer driver.
Note Where and how you make selections depends on your software application or associated printer driver. The selection process may be available only from within the printer driver. See Chapter 3 or your application manual for more information.
2 Choose the designated tray (or
Manual Feed) for the first page and the other tray for the remaining pages.
3 Place the paper for the first page in
the tray. For manual feed, place a page in Tray 1 after the job is sent to the printer, and the printer requests the paper to be loaded. Place the page with the side to be printed up, with the top of the page placed towards the rear of the printer and the long edge leading into the printer.
4 Load the paper for the remaining
pages of the document in another tray. You may select the first and remaining pages by type of media. You must set the types of media loaded in the trays through the control panel (see Changing Paper Type and Size from the Control Panel earlier in this chapter). Then select the paper source in the printer driver not by tray, but by type. 5-30 Print Tasks

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 printer), 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.

6-8 Print Quality

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, side (B).

Figure 6-2

A. EconoMode B. Normal

Print Quality 6-9

Turning on EconoMode
You may be able to turn on EconoMode through your software application or driver. If your software permits, you will probably prefer to use this method. Otherwise, see Turning on EconoMode from the Control Panel in the following section.
Where and how you make selections depends on your software application or associated printer driver. The selection process may be available only from within the driver. See Chapter 3 or your application documentation for more information.
Turning on EconoMode from the Control Panel
1 Press [Menus] repeatedly until PRINT QUALITY MENU appears. 2 Press [Items] repeatedly until ECONOMODE=OFF * appears. 3 Press [+] to choose ON. 4 Press [Select *] to save your choice.
The printer settings usually come first from the application, then from the printer driver, and finally from the control panel.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
This chapter describes normal routine maintenance, which includes:
Cleaning the printer 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 printer problems, clear paper jams, and understand printer messages.

Cleaning Tasks

To maintain print quality, thoroughly clean the printer:
Every time you change the toner cartridge After printing approximately 15,000 images Whenever print quality problems occur
Clean the outside of the printer 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.
To avoid permanent damage to the toner cartridge, do not use ammonia-based cleaners on or around your printer.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting 7-1

Cleaning the Printer

1 Before you begin these steps, turn the
printer OFF and unplug all cords.
2 Open the top cover of the printer and
remove the toner cartridge.
WARNING Avoid touching the adjacent fusing area in the left door. It may be HOT.
3 With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe any
residue from the paper path area, the registration roller (B), and the toner cartridge cavity.
CAUTION Do not touch the transfer roller (A). Skin oils on the roller can reduce print quality. If toner gets on your clothes, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash your clothes in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
4 Replace the toner cartridge, close the
printer, reconnect all cables, and switch the printer ON.
7-2 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

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.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Avoid touching the adjacent fusing area. It may be HOT.
HP Policy on Use of Non-HP Toner Cartridges

7-14 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Situation Job went to a different bin than was expected. Job prints on the wrong side of the paper.
Solution The wrong size or type of media was used for the job. The Mailbox with Stapler, the optional Envelope Feeder, and each tray supports specific media. See the Media Selection Guidelines section of Chapter 5 for selecting the most appropriate media for your print job. Make sure you have loaded the media correctly. If you are printing one-sided copies, load media into Tray 1 with the side to be be printed facing up. Load media into Trays 2, 3, and 4 with the side to be printed facing down. If you are printing two-sided copies, load media into Tray 1 with the first side to be printed (odd-numbered) facing down. Load media into Trays 2, 3, and 4 with the first side to be printed (odd-numbered) facing up.

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.
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/5Si MX/5Si NX printers do not use high voltage corona wires in the electrophotographic process, and therefore generates no measurable ozone gas (O3). Instead, these printers use 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.
