HP Laserjet 5 User Manual

							
When an optional Tray 3 Assembly is installed, it replaces Tray 2 as the
second default source in the printing order. As long as Tray 1 settings have
not been changed the printer will now print on media in the following order:
For example, assuming all paper sizes are the same, if you send a job to
the printer and Tray 1 is empty, the printer prints the job from Tray 3
unless you specify otherwise. If Tray 3 is also empty, the printer prints
the job from Tray 2.
500-Sheet Tray 3 Details
AAdjust paper length here.
B Adjust paper width here.
C Set paper size with this knob.
D Adjust spring tension for each change in paper size and weight with
this knob.
E Indicates amount of paper in tray.
NoteFor best results, always fill the tray to the arrows in the middle of the
paper length bracket (see step 3 on the next page). Overfilling the tray
will cause paper jams.
When loading the printer with a new size or weight of media, be sure to
adjust the ( C) paper size and ( D) tension control. See the following pages
for instructions on adjusting the spring tension on the Tray 3 Assembly.

To Load Paper into the Optional Tray 3:
1Pull the tray straight out of the printer.
2Adjust the tray length guide for the
desired paper size.
3Slide up to 500 sheets of paper into
the tray until the front end of the
stack fits against the adjustable paper
length bracket in the back of the tray.
Do not fill above the arrows in the
middle of the paper length bracket.
Note
For best results, always fill the tray
completely when loading paper.
4Press down on all four corners of the
paper stack to ensure that the paper
rests flat in the tray and fits under the
front left metal holder.
5Set the paper size knob to correspond
with the paper being loaded. The
paper size indicator on the front of the
tray will show the new paper size.

Note
Step 6 is only necessary if you are
changing the size of the paper or the
weight of the paper in Tray 3.  Tray 3
comes preajusted for 20 lb. (75 g/m
2)
letter sized paper. If you are not changing
paper size or weight, skip to Step 7.
6Lightly push on the stack of paper to
make sure it moves freely up and
down.  Release the tray width guide if
necessary. Adjust the tray spring
tension by turning the tension knob
until the adjustable arrow lines up
with the stationary arrow.
Note
This adjustment may be easier if the tray
is inserted part way into the printer
7Adjust the tray width guide to rest
firmly against the side of the paper
stack.
8Slide the full tray back into the Tray 3
assembly.

Printing with the Duplex Unit (2-Sided Printing)
With an optional duplex unit, a print job can be printed on both sides of
a sheet of paper (this is known as duplexing). See “Accessories and
Options” in Chapter 1 for part numbers and ordering information.
Specifying a Duplex Setup
To use the Duplex Unit a 2-sided setup must be selected in the HP
Printer Driver. The drivers, can be reached from the Print dialog box in
any MS Windows application.  This is usually accessed from the Printer
Setup or Printer Options command, however, each application may be
different.
Paper orientation and setup work together. The setup determines how
the printer sets each page so that the printed areas on the front and back
of each sheet match.
CautionThe duplex unit only prints letter, A4, legal, and executive size pages.
Never try to print on both sides of labels, transparencies, envelopes,
odd-sized pages, or paper heavier than 24 lb (90 g/m
2).  Damage to
your printer and paper jamming can result.
WARNING!Do not pick up the printer with the duplex unit installed. If relocating
the printer, first separate the Duplex Unit from the printer.

Paper orientation options for duplex (2-sided) printing
The four paper orientation options are shown and explained on this page.
ALong-edge landscape orientation
This kind of layout is often used in accounting, data processing, and
spreadsheet applications.  With this setup, every other printed image is
oriented upside-down so that pages can be flipped through, as for a
calendar.
BLong-edge portrait orientation
This is the conventional layout used.  With this setup, every printed
image is oriented right side up.
CShort-edge portrait orientation
This kind of layout is often used with clipboards. When short-edge
binding in portrait orientation is selected, every other printed image is
oriented upside-down.
DShort-edge landscape orientation
This layout is a variation that is also used. Each printed image is
oriented right side up.

Printing with the Envelope Feeder
An optional Envelope Feeder is available for the printer. It holds up to
75 envelopes and prints up to nine envelopes per minute.  See
“Accessories and Options” in Chapter 1 for ordering information.
NoteSee the “Envelope Feeder User’s Guide ” included with the Envelope
Feeder for complete installation and setup instructions.

Loading Envelopes in the Envelope Feeder
Note
Only print on approved envelopes. See
“Printing Envelopes” earlier in this
chapter and “Envelopes” in Appendix A.
1Lift up the pressure plate (A).  It will
stay in a vertical position.  Pull the
extension tray out ( B).
2Squeeze the release lever against the
envelope side guide ( A) and slide the
side guide all the way to the right ( B).
3Load envelopes into the Envelope
Feeder with the print-side up, the
sealing flap down, and the postage
end in.
Note
Do not fill the Envelope Feeder above the
arrow on the envelope side guide. Make
sure envelope flaps are not interlocked or
stuck together.
4Lower the pressure plate against the
envelope stack.
5Slide the envelope side guide against
the envelope stack. The guide should
be pressed firmly against the stack,
but not tight enough to buckle the
envelopes.
Note
Make sure the envelopes are pushed into
the Envelope Feeder as far as they can go.

Printing with the Infrared Serial Port
An optional HP infrared (IR) adapter is available for the HP LaserJet
5/5M printer.  This adapter is compliant with the specifications
determined by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA).
The HP IR adapter works by transmitting data similarly to a serial
interface but without the cable. Data transmission occurs at speeds up to
115 k bits per second.
The HP infrared adapter attaches to the IR port on the back of the
printer, located between the parallel port and serial port (see Figure
4-14).
The HP IR adapter is compatible with a wide variety of IrDA-compliant
portable devices (such as a laptop computer); however, the method for
printing will vary depending on the type of device and the operating
system in use. Refer to the instruction manual for your portable
equipment for specific instructions on printing from that device.
NoteThe IrDA standard for infrared communications represents an emerging
technology.  Older non-IrDA-compliant portable devices may not be
compatible with the HP LaserJet 5/5M printer.  If you experience
problems when printing with the IR adapter, contact the manufacturer or
dealer of your portable device to verify compatibility with the IrDA
standard.
See “Accessories and Options” in Chapter 1 for ordering information.
