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!Never operate or service the printer with the protective cover removed
from the Laser/Scanner Assembly. The reflected beam, although
invisible, can damage your eyes.

Printer Memory
Determining Needed Printer Memory
The amount of printer memory you need depends on what you are
printing and the printer language you are using. For example, PCL is
compact and efficient, so you can print most text and graphics at 600 dpi
without adding memory to your printer. You might want to add memory
to your printer if you commonly print complex graphics, use many
downloaded typefaces, or print complex documents in PostScript. The
table below shows the printers’ standard memory and the maximum
amount of additional memory you can install. You can install additional
memory through four SIMM (Single In-Line Memory Module) slots.
Printer Memory Standard (MB) Maximum (MB)
HP LaserJet 5 4 66
HP LaserJet 5M 6 52
The HP LaserJet 5 printercan print letter, A4, and legal pages at 300
or 600-dpi, simplex or duplex, with standard memory. For added printer
personalities, complex graphics, or advanced functions (such as I/O
Buffering and Resource Saving), you may need additional memory. HP
recommends that you install a minimum of 2 MBytes of additional
memory to print using the PostScript printer personality.
The HP LaserJet 5M printer comes with Adobe PostScript Level 2
and 6 MBytes of installed memory.  See Chapter 5 for more information
about PostScript printing and the memory requirements of your HP
LaserJet 5M printer.
NoteTo find out how much memory is installed in your printer, print a self
test.  See Chapter 7, “Testing the Printer,” for more information.
ENPrinter Memory D-1 
						

							
How Your Printer Uses Memory
Your printer uses memory in several ways:
•Stores the printer’spersonalityor operating language software (such as
PCL and PostScript).
•Receives, holds, and processes data from incoming print jobs.
•Manages downloaded resources (such as symbol sets, macros, and patterns
or PostScript fonts, forms, and patterns when PostScript is installed).
Optional Flash SIMM
The Optional Flash SIMM can be used to permanently store
downloaded fonts and forms in the printer.  Unlike the standard printer
memory, permanently downloaded items remain in the printer even
when the printer is powered off.
Fonts downloaded to the Flash SIMM are available to all users of the
printer.
Fonts can be downloaded to Flash by using the JetAdmin Utility. JetAdmin
also allows you to write protect the Flash SIMM for additional security.
The font smart software allows you to access the fonts stored in the
Flash SIMM.
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 MS Windows
environment, refer to your HP MS Windows driver online help.
See Chapter 1 for ordering information.

Keeping Downloaded Resources in Memory
When only the PCL personality is installed, the printer uses all available
memory to maintain downloaded resources. When two or more
personalities are installed, the printer reserves a portion of memory for
each personality’s resources. The printer deletes downloaded resources
from its memory when you change personalities or resolutions.
For printers with more than one personality, Resource Saving enables
the printer to keep downloaded resources in memory under most
conditions. PCL-only printers do not require Resource Saving because
available memory is automatically allocated to keep downloaded
resources in memory.
Resource Saving in PCL and PostScript Printers
When the PostScript option is installed, Resource Saving automatically
becomes available if 8 MBytes (or 13 MBytes in duplex mode) of
memory or more are available in the printer.  By default, the printer
automatically allocates resources to each printer personality, depending
on the amount of memory each personality needs.
Most users will not need to customize the printer’s Resource Saving
configuration, but youcanchange the amount of memory allocated to
each printer personality through Resource Saving (see the procedure on
the following page).

To determine how much memory to allocate to a personality
You are most likely to want to change the amount of memory if you
download an unusually large number of fonts, or if your printer is in a
shared environment. The minimum amount of memory you can allocate to
Resource Saving is 400 KBytes each for PCL and PostScript. (The
minimum amount may be different for other printer personalities.) This
needs to be configured only if PostScript or another personality is installed.

your selected personality.
6Print a self test (see Chapter 8). The amount of memory used by the
fonts is listed next to the personality.  Round up this figure to the nearest
100 KBytes. For example, if 475 KBytes are shown as used for the
personality, 500 KBytes should be reserved.
