Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 5Si Paper Handling

Unprintable Regions

Left: 1/6th inch

Right: 1/6th inch

Top: 1/6th inch

Bottom: 1/6th inch

Continuous Feeding

Standard : 2 Paper Cassette [capacity: 500 sheets each].
Multi-Purpose Tray [capacity: 100 sheets paper (10 envelopes, 75 labels/transparencies)]

Optional : Envelope Feeder
Optional 2000-Sheet Lower Cassette

Loading the Paper Cassettes

Pull out Tray and remove packing spacer and tape.
Turn tray lock to the unlocked position.
Slide front tray guide to desired paper size.
Lock front tray.
Push in and lift, then remove left-side paper guide.
Move the left-side guide to the desired position and reinstall. Ensure guide is secure at front of tray.
Insert paper. Press along the edges ot make sure it lies underneath the tabs.
Do NOT over fill the paper tray. Fill to bottom of arrows shown on indicator.
Push the paper tray into the printer.

Loading Media into the Multi-purpose Tray

Open the MP tray
Pull out the tray extension, if needed for the paper size you are printing.
Slide the paper width guides to the appropriate size marked on the tray.
For single-sided printing, place paper into Tray 1 with side to be printed up. The height of the paper stack should not exceed the paper fill mark on the paper width guides.
Paper loading differs by size. Load Letter and ISO A4 with the longer edge of the page leading into the printer. Load envelopes, postcards, Executive, Legal, 11 x 17, ISO A3, JIS B5m or JIS B4 with the short edge of the page leading into the printer.
Slide the paper into the printer as far as it will go - until leading edges rest lightly against the printer, and paper fits squarely and firmly between the paper width guides, without bending the paper.
Set the correct paper type and size for TRAY 1 in the TRAY MENU on the printer's control panel.

Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 5Si Messages

Status Messages

Message	Meaning	Recommended Action
READY	The default ready message. The printer is ready to use.	No action required.
OFFLINE	The printer is offline and cannot print data.	Press [On Line].
WARMING UP	The printer is warming up and is not ready to accept data.	Wait until the printer signals READY. If necessary, press [On Line].
POWER SAVE ON	The printer is in Power Save mode. In Power Save mode all control panel keys operate normally.	No action required. The job prints when the fuser has warmed (about 45 seconds).
PERFORM USER MAINTENANCE	This message indicates that the printer requires routine maintenance. It will replace the READY message until it is cleared.	Purchase a maintenance kit and install the new parts. Then remove the message by turning SERVICE MESSAGE = OFF in the CONFIGURATION MENU.
PRINTING CONFIGURATION PAGE	The printer is printing a configuration page.	No action required.
PRINTING FONT LIST	The printer is printing a font list.	No action required.
PRINTING DEMO PAGE	The printer is printing a demonstration page.	No action required.
RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS	The printer returns almost all defaults to their default configurations.	Reconfigure your printer and MIO. When you install an MIO card(s), to reinitialize the printer's control panel you may need to perform a cold reset. (Note: In a shared environment, this task should only be performed by the system administrator.) To perform a cold reset, hold down [On Line] while switching the printer ON until RESTORING FACTORY SETTINGS appears in the display.
CLOSE PRINTER COVERS	One of the printer's covers or doors is not firmly closed, or your toner cartridge is not installed correctly.	Make sure your toner cartridge is fully seated and the printer top cover or doors (left, front, and right) are firmly closed.
ACCESS DENIED	Your network administrator has locked out access to the control panel menu system, except for the Test Menu and Tray 1 size.	See your network or printer administrator.
INSTALL TONER CARTRIDGE	The toner cartridge is not installed correctly or is not installed.	Insert a toner cartridge or make sure the cartridge is fully seated and the covers are fully closed, then press [On Line] to resume.
LOAD TRAY X LOAD ENV FEEDER	The printer received a request for a media type, or paper/envelope size not available in the printer.	Load the indicated tray with the correct media.
MANUAL FEED TRAY 1	The printer received a request for a media of a certain type and size to b manually fed in Tray 1.	Load the correct media in the tray. If the correct media is already loaded, press [On Line] so the printer will use that media.
TONER LOW	The toner cartridge is running out of toner.	Shake the toner cartridge or replace it. Press [Select *] to override the stopped condition and continue printing.
HP MIO x INITIALIZING	The MIO card(s) are initializing. This is a status message; during initialization the MIO is not active, but since the printer supports I/O switching, the printer remains on line.	No action required. Display clears automatically (this may take up to five minutes depending on the card). However, if hte message remains after five minutes a problem does exist. Contact your network administrator or consult the network documentation that came with your MIO card.
FINISHER SUPPLY OUT <output device>	The output device listed is out of finishing material. For example, there are no more staples.	Refill the needed material.
FINISHER LIMIT REACHED <output device>	The output device listed has reached the maximum amount of media it is capable of processing.	Remove the media so the device may continue processing print jobs.
FINISHER ALIGN ERROR <output device>	The output device listed has misaligned the media to be bound.	Clear the media.

Then make more memory available in the printer by removing some fonts, macros, or any other data from memory; simplify the page sent to the printer; or install additional memory. (Note: if AUTO CONTINUE = ON the printer will automatically continue printing when this error occurs.)
21 PRINT OVERRUN DATA LOST	The data (dense text, rules, raster or vector graphics) sent to the printer was too complex.	Press [Select *] to resume printing. (Note: if AUTO CONTINUE = ON the printer will automatically continue printing when this error occurs.) You may lose some data. Try to simplify your print job.
22 PARALLEL IO ERROR CHECK SETUP 22 HP MIO x ERROR CHECK SETUP	For bi-tronics parallel (PAR) configuration, the computer and printer are not communicating because of improper signal protocols. Check both computer and printer I/O settings. For the MIO error, this is an I/O buffer overrun error.	Press [Select *] to clear the error message (data will be lost). If the error continues, call your authorized HP dealer or service representative. For the parallel configuration, check for loose cable; use a high-quality cable (some cables may be missing pin connectors.) If you are using an I/O other than the bi-tronics parallel I/O, see the manual for that device or contact your dealer. If you are on a network, contact your network administrator.
