1-10 Product Information

Media Selection Guidelines
Note More detailed specifications are in the HP LaserJet 5Si and 5Si MX User's Guide, and the HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specification Guide. (See "Related Documentation and Training Media" later in this chapter.)

Product 1 Information

Paper
To achieve the best possible print quality and avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines for selecting paper:

· Use only copier grade paper that meets all specifications in the paper
specification guide. Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough. · Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the fusing temperature of 392° F (200° C) (215° C for HP LaserJet 5Si Heavy Media printers) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced. · Pre-printed forms must be printed with non-flammable, heat-resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the fusing temperature of 392° F (200° C) (215° C for HP LaserJet 5Si Heavy Media printers) for 0.1 second. · A small sample of a new print media should be tested before purchasing large quantities.

Envelopes
Caution To prevent severe printer damage, do not use envelopes that have windows, clasps, snaps, or synthetic materials. Print Envelopes to the Face-Up Bin only Envelopes can be printed from Tray 1 and from the optional Envelope Feeder. Choose envelopes that are well-constructed. They should lay flat and be sharply creased. They should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. Envelope adhesive must be compatible with the heat and pressure of the fusing process.

Product Information 1-11

Adhesive Labels
Use the following guidelines when selecting labels: Caution Tray 1 is required for printing adhesive labels. Print labels to the Face-Up Bin only. This printer does not support use of labels with any exposed spaces. Do not attempt to print on label sheets after any of the labels have been removed from the sheet. Damage to the printer may result.

· Labels must be arranged on the carrier sheet so that there are no exposed
spaces on the sheet. Using label stock with spaces between rows or columns of labels can often result in labels peeling off during printing, causing serious jamming and possible printer damage. · The top sheet (printing surface) must be of copier quality and provide good toner adhesion. · The carrier sheet (backing sheet) must be compatible with the temperatures and pressure of the fusing process, and must be coated for easy release of the top sheet. · The adhesive must be stable at the 392° F (200° C) temperatures encountered for 0.1 second in the fusing process, and must not produce emissions that exceed exposure levels or threshold limits established by OSHA and other safety agencies. Adhesives must not come into direct contact with any part of the printer. A wide selection of suitable labels may be ordered through Hewlett-Packard. Available sizes are listed in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specification Guide.

Transparencies
Caution Tray 1 (Multi Purpose) is required for printing transparencies. Print transparencies to the Face-Up Bin only. Overhead transparencies used in HP LaserJet printers must be able to withstand the 392° F (200° C) temperatures encountered in the printer's fusing process for 0.1 second. Suitable transparency film is available through Hewlett-Packard. Refer to the HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specification Guide for details.

1-12 Product Information

Storing Print Media
Product 1 Information Follow these guidelines when stacking and storing print media:

· Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. · Re-wrap partially used packages of media before storing. · Stack each carton upright and squarely on top of the other. · Store envelopes in a protective box to avoid damaging the envelope edges. · Keep stored media away from temperature and humidity extremes. · DO NOT store cartons or reams directly on the floor where they will absorb
a higher moisture content. Instead, place cartons on a pallet or on shelves.

· DO NOT store individual reams in a manner that causes them to curl or
warp along the edges.

· DO NOT stack more than six cartons on top of each other. · DO NOT place anything on top of media, regardless of whether the paper is
packaged or unpackaged.

· DO NOT store printed documents in vinyl folders (which may contain
plasticizers) or expose the documents to petroleum based solvents.

Shipping Print Media
When shipping print media through different environments, plastic wrap all cartons on the shipping pallet. When shipping media across bodies of water, wrap individual cartons as well. Packaging must protect the media from physical damage.

Hard Disk
The Printer Hard Disk accessory is optional for the HP LaserJet 5Si, 5Si MX, and 5Si NX printers. The hard disk is a standard feature of the HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier and Mopier engine. It 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 hard disk are available to all users of the printer. Macintosh users can use the HP LaserJet Utility, and Windows users can use the HP printer driver to download fonts. The Printer Hard Disk can also be write-protected through software for additional security. Refer to the on line help associated with your HP software for more information.

Product Information 1-19

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 on line help in the HP LaserJet Utility Guide included with the HP LaserJet Utility software.) For the Windows environment, refer to your HP Windows driver on line help.

Determining Memory Requirements
The amount of memory you need depends on the types of documents your print. With the PCL printer language, your HP LaserJet 5Si printer can print most text and graphics at 300 or 600 dpi without additional memory. Add memory to your printer if you: · commonly print complex graphics. · Use many downloaded fonts. · Print complex documents. · Use advanced functions (such as I/O Buffering and Resource Saving). For the HP LaserJet 5Si printer, you can add up to 128 MBytes of memory for a total of 132 MBytes. If you have the HP LaserJet 5Si MX printer or 5Si Mopier, you can add up to 64 MBytes of additional memory for a total of 76 MBytes. Table 1-10 presents the amount of memory required for the most common print jobs performed with the HP LaserJet 5Si/5Si MX/5Si NX/Mopier using 600-dpi printing.

1-20 Product Information

Service Approach
Repair of the printer normally begins with a three-step process:

Product 1 Information

· Step 1: Isolate the problem to the major system, i.e. the host computer,
the network and/or server, or the printer system.

· Step 2: Determine if the problem is located in the accessories or in the
printer engine.

· Step 3: Troubleshoot the problem using the procedures in Chapter 7.
Once a faulty part is located, repair is usually accomplished by assembly level replacement of Field Replaceable Units (FRUs). Some mechanical assemblies may be repaired at the subassembly level. Replacement of components on the printed circuit assemblies is not supported by Hewlett-Packard.

Ordering Parts
Field replaceable part numbers are found in Chapter 8 of this manual. Replacement parts may be ordered from HP's Support Materials Organization (SMO), or Support Materials Europe (SME). Phone numbers for the various sources are:

· SMO (Support Materials Organization)
1-800-227-8164 (U.S. Only)

· SME (Support Materials Europe)
(49 7031) 142253

· HP's Distribution Center (HPD)
1-303-353-7650

Exchange Program
HP offers remanufactured assemblies for some parts. These are identified in Chapter 8 and can be ordered through Parts Direct Ordering (PDO), Support Materials Organization (SMO), or Support Materials Europe (SME).

Product Information 1-21

Consumables
The printer has two consumables, the toner cartridge and staple cartridges, which may be ordered directly from Hewlett-Packard. Refer to Chapter 8 for ordering information.

T oner Cartridge Life
The Toner Cartridge (C3909A) is designed to simplify replacement of the major "consumable" parts. The toner cartridge contains the printing mechanism and a supply of toner. At 5% page coverage, a toner cartridge is guaranteed to print approximately 15,000 images (see Figure 1-6). Figure 1-6

Sample 5% Page Coverage The toner cartridge may print less than 15,000 images if routinely printing very dense print. Conversely, when routinely printing pages with less coverage (such as short memos), or in EconoMode, the toner cartridge may print more than 15,000 images. However, EconoMode does not extend toner cartridge component life. Note For best results, always use a new toner cartridge before the expiration date stamped on the toner cartridge box.

1-22 Product Information

Refilled T oner Cartridges & Non-HP Staple Cartridges
While Hewlett-Packard does not prohibit the use of refilled toner cartridges and non-HP staple cartridges during the warranty period or while under a maintenance contract, their use is not supported for the following reasons:

Product 1 Information

· Repairs resulting from the use of refilled toner cartridges and non-HP
staple cartridges are not covered under the Hewlett-Packard warranty or maintenance contract.

· Hewlett-Packard has no control or process to ensure that a refilled toner
cartridge or non-HP staple cartridge functions at the high level of reliability of a new HP LaserJet toner cartridge or HP LaserJet staple cartridge. Also, Hewlett-Packard cannot predict the long term reliability effect on the printer when using different toner formulations found in refilled cartridges.

· The print quality of HP LaserJet toner cartridges influences the customer's
perception of the printer. Hewlett-Packard has no control over the actual print quality of a refilled toner cartridge.

Recycling T oner Cartridges
In order to reduce waste, Hewlett-Packard utilizes a recycling program for used toner cartridges. Cartridge components that do not wear out are recycled, as are plastics and other materials. Hewlett-Packard pays the shipping costs from the user to the recycling plant. For each cartridge returned, HP donates one U.S. dollar to be shared by the Nature Conservancy and the National Wildlife Federation. To join this recycling effort, follow the instructions inside the toner cartridge box.

Warranty
This warranty entitles you to standard warranty services for your printer and accessories 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.

Product 1 Information

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 family printer 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 maximum (see the note on the following page). Using a mechanical switchbox with the printer without a designated surge protector. · Improper site preparation and maintenance. · Failure to perform key operator maintenance every 350,000 images (250,000 images with HP LaserJet 5Si Heavy Media printers). · Use of non-HP toner cartridges (see the following explanation), memory boards, or interface boards.

Product Information 1-27

Note

The use of non-Hewlett-Packard toner cartridges 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 images 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.
