3 Configuration Introduction The Configuration of the printer consists of setting hard and soft user defaults, and setting up the host computer to communicate with the printer (System Configuration). For installation instructions refer to Installation in the Getting Started Manual that is shipped wit h the prin ter.
Using The Control P anel (See Appendix B for LaserJet 5 i nformation.) The control pa nel (see Figure 3-1) consists of eight keys, t hree indicator ligh ts , and a 16-character display panel. The thr ee indicator lights are described in Table 3-1. Control Pane l Keys There are two ro ws of control pa nel keys.
Indicator Mode Description Ready On: Ready to print. Flashing: Processing a print job. Do not take off line or switch off. Off: Not ready; see displa y for message. On Line On: Ready to receive data. Flashing: Going from on line t o off line. Off: Off line.
Key Function [On Line] Switches the pr inter between ON LINE (communicating with the computer or other data source) and OFF LINE (not communicat ing). For the printer to receive data, both the On Line a nd Ready indicator lights must be on. [Form Feed] Prints any data rema ining in pr inter’ s buff e r .
Reset Menu Use Reset Menu function with caution. It can result in loss of buffered page data or printer configuration data. Reset Menu is activated by holding down both [Shift] and [Menu] for up to 10 seconds until RESET=MENU * appears. Use [+] or [-] to cy cle through items and [Enter] to select the item.
Control P anel Menus Figure 3-2 shows t he menus and men u items available with the basic printer configuration. Not all menu items are discussed in this section. Only those items of specific interest from a service standpoint, or items new to the printers are discusse d in this section.

Printer F eatures Some of the important f eatures of th e HP LaserJet 4, 4 Plu s, and LaserJet 5 printers are described below. P age Protection (HP LaserJet 4 only) Note The defa ult is PAGE PROTECT=OFF*. Unless you frequently get 21 PRINT OVERRUN messages, you may not need to set a value for page protection.
Resource Saving (HP LaserJ et 4 Plus and 5 only) Resource Saving gives the printer the ability to save certain entities such as permanent soft fonts, macros, symbol sets and user-defined g raphics patter ns when th e printer changes personalities, resolutions or page protect modes.
I/O Buffering (HP LaserJet 4 Plus and 5 only) I/O buffering allows the user to allocate printer memory to hold the job while it prints, freeing up the host system sooner, like a print spooler.
EconoM ode (HP LaserJet 4 Plus and 5 on ly) The EconoMode setting uses approximately 50% less toner than standard mode pr inting by redu cing dot density .
Memory Enhancement technology (MEt) (HP LaserJet 4 Plus and 5 only) HP Memory Enhancement technology (MEt) effectively doubles the pri nter ’ s standard memor y through a va riety of fo nt and data compression methods. MEt also automatically compresses fonts for desktop publishing applications.
Network Security The HP LaserJet 4 Plus and 5 printers allow the System Administrator to lock out other user ’ s ability to change most printer control panel settings. This is done by setting a password and turnin g LOCK on. The message MENU LOCKED will appear when a user tries to change the printer control panel settings.
5 Under the Extras menu, select Set Printer Password . On the Printer Security screen, enter the new password (numeric values can be set f rom 0 to 65535) , and click on th e OK button. HP JetAdmin Utility (Novell Networks) 1 Run JETADMIN. 2 Select the printer you wa nt to confi gure.
Service Mode (Refer to Appendix B for LaserJet 5 information.) The Service Mode s hould be used only by authorized s ervice personnel. Th e following can be executed wh ile in the Servic e Mode: • Print a Service Mode Self Test. • Verify the Page Count, (the page count also is displayed on the standard self test).
Setting the P age Count The page count is stored in the printer ’ s Non-Volatile Memory (NVRAM). If it is necessary to replace the Formatter PCA, the page count should be reset to the printer ’ s original page count to reflect the age of the print engine.
Setting the Cold Reset Default The default paper size outside of the U.S. is typically A4. Therefore, when replacing Formatters where the desired default is A4, the Customization Variable must be set to A4. This prevents the Cold Reset procedure from resetting the paper size to Letter.
Cold Reset The Cold Reset feature of the printers allows the printer to be returned instantly to the factory default configu ration settings. This feature is valuable bec ause the the D ynamic I/O and PJL features of the prin ter enable any user connected to any I/O t o access and change the default configuration as applications require.

Changing the Control P anel Display Language The default control panel display language is set for English. Supported languages are: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Finnish, Danish, Dutch, S wedish, No rwegian, and Portuguese. Follow these instructions to change the display language.
T est Print Button The Test Print button access hole is located on th e side of the printer. Press the Test Print button using a tool similar to a paper clip (see Fig ure 3-5).
Pressing the Test Print button wil l initiate a 15 ENGINE TEST . This is an engine test only. The Format PCA is bypassed while printing this test, although a formatter problem can interfere with this test . A page of vertical lines is printed if the print engine is operating cor rectly (see Figur e 3-6).
System Config uration MS-DOS System Configuration To communicate properly with the p rinter, the MS-DOS environment requires the addition or modification of MODE commands in the AUTOEXEC.
Serial MS-DOS Commands Most IBM compatible computers default to a parallel printer port. To ensure that infor mation is sent to your serial printer por t, type the following MS-DOS commands at your MS-DOS prompt, or include them in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Printer I/O Configuration P arallel Menu The default setting for t he High Speed Parallel I/O is YES. If it is set to NO, the interface runs at a slower speed that is compatible with older computers. When the default is set to YES, the parallel interface runs at a hi gher rate supported by newer com puters.
Pacing (Handshaking) Pacing (or “ handshaking ” ) is a type of c ommunication between the printer and the computer. This is an important item in the printer because it allows the printer to tell the computer when to send information.
Serial Cable Pin-outs The following cable diagrams show the cable pinouts for the most common serial configurations. DB-9 RS-232 Serial Connection — HP LaserJet 4 If the computer has a serial port with 9 pins, use the cab le or equivalent for the HP LaserJet 4.
DB-25 RS-232 Serial Connection — HP LaserJet 4 Plu s/5 If the computer has a serial port with 9 pins , use the C2932A or equivalent cable for the HP LaserJet 4 Plus.
DB-25 Seria l Connection — HP Las erJet 4 If the computer has a seria l port with 25 pins, use the 17255D cable or eq uivalent f or the HP LaserJet 4.
DB-25 RS-232 Serial Connection — HP LaserJet 4 Plu s/5 If the computer has a serial port with 25 pi ns, use the C2933A or equivalent cable for the HP LaserJet 4 Plus.
RS-422A Serial Connection (Not available on the HP LaserJet 4 Plus or 5 printe rs) If you are configuring the computer to use an RS-422A serial port, you need a special cable . Contact the comput er or printer network manufacturer to see if an RS-422A cable is a vailable.
Modular I/O Configuration The printers are equipped with a modular I/O slot. A m odular I/O interface card can be plugged into that slot to increase the number of interfaces available. A modular I/ O card can pr ovide incr eased printer performance when printin g from a networ k.
Printer Drivers Install Printer Drivers and Utilities Printer drivers are specialized programs designed to allow specific software applications to function with the HP LaserJet printers.
DOS Utilities Use the DOS Utilities to install printer drivers for MS-DOS applications. Printer driver software for some common software applications are included the DOS Utilities. See the Doing Business With HP section of Chapter 1 for information on software drivers not included with the LaserJet DOS Utilities.

LaserJ et 4 and 4 Plus The envelope size ( EE TRAY= ) appears on the display when the envelope feeder is installed and loaded with envelopes. The envelope size can be selected through the Control Panel.
SIMM Installation SIMM installation is covered in detail in the the printer ’ s User ’ s Manual and in th e kit that acc ompanies the SI MM. The instructions sh own here are not intended to rep lace these source s. Follow these instructions to install memory, language, and flash SIMM boards.
Any SIMM board can be installed i n any of the four SIMM slots. Because the slots are close together, we recom mend installing them from right to left, starting with slot 1 and ending with slot 4.
Memory Requirements A page ’ s complexity (rules, graph ics, or dense text) may excee d the pri nter ’ s ability to create the im age rapidly enough to keep pace with the printing process. If a page is too complex, only part of the page prints, and some print data loss is likely.
Caution When removing a boa rd from the ant istatic package, avoid touching the metal traces on the SIMM board . For memory boards, compare the part number on the outside of the package to the pa rt number in the table below . If you have not received t he correc t board, notif y your a uthorized Hewlett-Packard dealer immediately.
Accessing the SIMM Slots Please refer to Chapt er 6, Removal and Replacement, fo r instructions on removing the SIMMS door to access the slots. Note that access to the SIMM s lots are slightly differe nt for the various printer models.
3 Hold the SIMM board at a 30-degree angle to the slot a nd push the edge of the board evenly and firmly into the slot (see Figure 3-25 callout (A) ). 4 Rotate the SIMM board to the right until the board “ clicks ” into the metal locking tabs, securing the board into place (see Figure 3-25 callout (B) ).
T esting a SIMM Board Use the procedures below to print a self-test page to verify SIMM board installation. Procedures are given for both memory and PostScript SIMMs. Memory SIMM Note For the LaserJet 5/ 5M/5N, the On Line key ha s been replaced by the Go key.

4 Preventive Maintenance Introduction The printer requires minimum routine m aintenance. Us e this chapter for information on: • Service Checkpoin ts. These are th e items that must be cleaned and c hecked when the T oner Cartri dge is replace d, or before performing periodic maintenance.
Life Expectancy of Consumables Always inspect the c omponents listed in Table 4-1 for wear when servicing th e printer. Rep lace these componen ts as needed, b ased on printer failures or wear, not strictly on usage. DESCRIPTION QTY EST. LIFE (pages) REMARKS 1.
Service Checkpoints This is a fold-out pag e 3 panels wide. Figure 4-1 Maintenance Checkpoints Preventiv e Maintenan ce 4-3.
Cleaning Y our Printe r When it is time to replace the toner cartridge, perform the cleaning procedures outlined in Figure 4-1. 4-4 Preventive Main tenance.
T oner Cartridge The toner cartridge i n your printer contains the printing mechanism and a supply of toner. Your toner cartri dge life depend s on the amount of ton er your jobs requ ire. Wh en you print word-processed text, a toner cartridge lasts approximately 6,800 pages, printed at 5% coverage.
Saving T oner with EconoMode (HP LaserJe t 4 Plus and 5 Only) Toner cartridge life can be extended dramatical ly by using the EconoMode pr inting featu re of the p rinter. Econ oMode can be turned on or off via the printer control panel, through HP ’ s Remote Control Panel or through a software application with the appropriate p rinter driv er.
Installing the T oner Cartridge The toner cartridge is empty and must be replaced w hen the toner low message cannot be cleared, as described in “ Clearing the 16 TONER LOW Mess age ” later in this section. To replace the toner cartridge: 1 Open the pr inter ’ s top cover and remo ve the em pty toner cartridg e.
3 Remove the sealing tape b y firmly grasping the tab on the right side of the toner cartridge and pulling it straight out the side of the ca rtridge. (See Figure 4-3. ) Note Pulling the toner cartridge at an a ngle may damage the toner cartridge seals.
Non-HP T on er Cartridges While Hewlett-Packard does not prohibit the use of Non-HP toner cartridges during the warranty period or while under a maintena nce contract, we do not rec ommend their use.
Clearing the TONER LOW Message If the 16 TONER LOW message appears in the control panel display, the toner level in the toner cartridge is getting low. The print becomes lighter and white streaks may appear. (This message means that it is t ime to replac e the toner car tridge).
P eriodic Maintenance Procedures Each paper source has a Paper Pickup Roller that should be replaced when paper no longer feeds reliably. The MP Tray (Tray 1) Paper Pickup Roller is shown in Figure 4-5. The PC tray (Tray 2) Pickup Rol ler is s hown in Fi gure 4-7, t he LC (Tray 3) Pi ckup Roller is shown in Figure 4-8.
4 Insert a small screwdriver into the indent at the front of the separation pad and gently lift the pad from its s eat (see Figure 4-6). 5 Discard the used roller and pad.
Removing the PC (Tray 2) Pickup Roller The PC Pickup Roller is underneath the printer (see Figure 4-7). To remove the Picku p Roller: 1 Turn OF F and unpl ug the powe r cord from the re ar of t he printer. If your interface cable is long eno ugh, it may stay attached, if not, remove it also.
Removing the Lower Cassette (LC) or (T ray 3) Pickup Roller If your printer is equipped with the Lower Cassette Assembly, proceed as follows: 1 Remove the Lower Cassette Tray. 2 Press the retainers that hold the roller in place (see Figure 4-8 ). 3 Slide the Pickup Roller off the shaft.
Removing and Replacing the Transfer Rolle r The Transfer Roller is the black sponge-rubber roller located inside the printer just to the front of the black plastic Paper Feed Guide (see Figure 4-9). To re move and replac e the Transfer Roller, follow these steps.
Removing the Tra nsfer Roll er 1 Turn OFF and unpl ug the printer. 2 Open the printer ’ s top cover. 3 Remove the Toner Cartr idge. 4 Use the hook inside the top cover to remove the Transfer Roller as follows. Hook the left side of the chrome rod beside the sponge roller, and lift the roller out.
5 Functional Overview Introduction This section of th e manual presents a function al overview of th e printers. I t provides the Service Represen tative with a n understanding of the printing process. Re fer to the block diag ram of Figure 5-1 to see the relationship of the parts as a whole.
DC Controller System The DC Controller PCA is respon sible for coordinatin g all activities involved in the printing process. The DC Controller enables the dri ve circuitry for the laser b eam, and c oordinates print d ata from the Formatter PCA with pa per size, laser beam motion, the high voltage system, fuser temperature, and motors.
DC Controller Loads Figure 5-1 DC Controller Loads Functional Overview 5-3.
Serial Data Communication The printer communicates with and controls the Paper Feeder, the Lower Cassette Assembly, and the Envelope Feeder through serial data lines SLI and SLO. In addition, the DC Controller uses information encoded on SLI from the High Voltage Transformer to m onitor the toner lev el.
Solenoids Solenoids are co ntrolled by th e DC Control ler. Each solen oid drives a specific roller (see Table 5-1). The DC Controller outputs +24B VDC to energize th e solenoids at the pr oper time. When either of the doors are ope n, the +24B VDC is remo ved and the solenoids are disabled.
Photose nsors Photosensors, monitored by the DC Controller, are responsible for detecting the presence of paper, paper motion, and timing. (See Table 5-2.
Sensor Descrip tion PCA PS1 Input/Registratio n Sensor - detects pap er in pickup area Paper Control PCA (J605) PS2 PC tra y (T ray 2) P aper-out Senso r - detects the presence of pa per in the PC tray . Paper Control PCA (J605) PS3 Output/Fuser Exit Senso r - detects paper in fuser .
Microswitches All microswitch conditions are monitored by the DC Controller over serial data lines SLI and SLO. The Sta te Machines on the individual c ontrol PCAs, (for example the Paper Control PCA) convert the switch condition to a digital logic level, and encode that information on the data stream for th e DC Controller t o use.
PC (Tray 2) and LC (T ray 3) T ray Size Sensing System Trays inserted into the printer trigger specific microswitches, which define the tray size (see Table 5-4).
Motors The DC Controller c ontrols the Exhaust Fan, th e Main Motor, and the Laser/Scanner Motor. The remaining motors and solenoids are controlled by State Machines on the motor’s assembly. The condition of these motors and solenoids is monitored by the DC Controller through serial data lines.
P aper Jam D etection The Input/ Registration Sensor (PS1) and the Paper Ex it Sensor (PS3) detect paper moving through the printer. If a paper jam is detected, the DC Controller PCA immediately stops the printing process and 13 PAPER JAM or REMOVE PAPER JAM message is displayed.
F ormatter System The formatter is responsible for the following: • Receiving and processing ASCII data from printer interfaces. • Monitoring front panel input and relaying printer status information (through the front panel and bi-directional I/O).
Figure 5-5 For matter PCA—Funct ional Areas Functional Overview 5-13.
Memory Management The printer uses several di fferent types o f memory. T his memory can be divided into two different categories, Read Only Memory (ROM) and Random Acc ess Memory (RAM). ROM memory consists of the m emory located on the Fo rmatter PCA a nd any font cartridges that may be installed in the printer.
PJL Overview Printer Job Language (PJL) is an integral part of configuration, in addition to the standard Printer Command Language. With standard I/O cabling, PJL allows the printer to perform functions such as: • Allowing the printer to talk to the host computer through a Bi-directional parallel connection.
Image F o rmatio n System Laser printing requires the interac tion of several different technologies (such as electron ics, optics, and electro-photog raphics) t o provide a prin ted page. Ea ch process functions independently an d must be coordinated with all other printer processes.
Photosensitive Drum The photosensitive drum is the “ heart ” of the Image Formation System. The special properties of this drum allow an im age to be formed on the drum ’ s surface and then transferred to paper. The drum is an extruded aluminum cylinder.
Cleaning Stage During the cleaning stage of the image formation process, the drum ’ s surface is physically cleaned, prepar ing it to hold an image. During printing, th e drum is rotating c onstantly making several complete rotations per printed page.
Conditioning Stage After the drum is physically cleaned, it must be conditioned. This process consists of applying a uniform negative charge on the surface of the drum with the primary charging roller, located in the toner cartridge.
Writing Stage At the writing station, the laser beam is used to discharge the drum ’ s negative poten tial by focusin g laser light on to areas of the photosensitive drum. This creates a latent electrostatic image, which later is developed into a visible image.
At the be ginning of eac h sweep (b efore the beam reache s the drum), the beam is reflected off the beam detect mirror. The momentary puls e of light is sent to the DC Controller, w here it is converted to an electrical signal used to synchronize the output of data ( VDO) for one sweep (scan l ine).
Developing Stage The developing station develops the latent electrostatic image into a visible image on the drum. The developing unit consists of a metallic cylinder that rotates around a fixed magnetic core inside the toner cavity.
The DC bias of the developing cylinder is adjusted to change the force of at traction between the toner a nd drum by changing th e print density setting from the control panel. A change in DC bias causes either more or les s toner to b e attracted to the drum, which in turn either increases or decreases the print density.
T ransferring Stage At the transferring station, the toner image on the drum ’ s surface is transferred to the paper. A positive charge applied to the back of the paper by the transfer roller causes the ne gatively charged toner on the drum ’ s surface to be attracted to the page.
Fusing Stage At the fusing station , the toner is fused in to the paper by heat and pressure to prod uce a perm anent image . The paper passes between a heated fusing roller and a soft pressure roller. This melts the toner and presses it into the paper.

The Paper Feed Assembly perfor ms horizonta l registration of the print media through the Oblique Rollers. As the print media passes through the Ob lique Rollers, the media is moved uniformly to the left sid e of the print path. The movement ensures that each print image is orient ed properly on the horizontal axis.

Printing from the MP T ray (Tray 1) MP tray selection is provided b y the Formatter PCA, as configured by the operator ’ s control panel or by a so ftware application. The MP tray (Tray 1) feed system ’ s paper motion begins when the DC Con troller PCA, after receiv ing a PRNT signal, starts the Scanner Motor (M5) and the Main Motor (M1).
Printing from the PC T ray (T ray 2) PC tray selection is provided by the Formatter PCA, as configured by the control panel or by software. When the DC Controller PCA receives a PRNT signal, it s tarts the Scanner Motor (M5) and the Main Motor (M1).
Po w e r S y s t e m When the main power s witch is turned ON, the AC Power S upply provides AC voltage to the DC Power Supply and the fuser assembly heat lamp. The paper path doors must be closed to activate the AC power supply door switches before voltage is provided to the heat lamp.
Figure 5-20 Power System Block Diagram 5-32 Functional Overview.
Basic Sequence of Operation The Formatter PCA and the DC Controller PCA share information during printer operation. Con nector J7 on the formatter and connector J207 on the DC controller form a link which operates as a serial data bus. This allows printer status, command information, and dot-image data to be passed between both controllers.
6 Each time the for matter receive s a synchron ized BD signal from the DC controller, t he formatter sends a VI DEO data stream ( VDO) to the DC controller. 7 After the DC controller rec eives the VD O data, the DC controller transla tes it into a VIDEO OUT signal ( VDOUT) that switches the las er diode ON and OFF.

W armup P eriod The Warmup period begins when the printer ’ s power is turned ON, and ends when the f using roller temperature reaches 1 72 ° C. When the printer is switched ON, the exhaust fan (FM1 ) begins low-speed rotation and the fusin g roller maintain s 172 ° C.
Initial Rotation P eriod When the DC controller recei ves a PRINT signa l ( PRNT) from the formatter, the DC controller allows the fusing roller to begin warming up to approximately 183 ° C, and starts t he main m otor (M1), the pickup motor (M2), and scanner motor (M5).
If a failure occurs during this period, the following errors may be displayed : 50 SERVICE This error occurs when the fusing roller fails to reach the correct temperature in the required time (see “ 50 SERVICE ” ) in Chapter 7).
Print P eriod When the leading edge o f the paper activates the input/registration sensor (PS1), the DC controller forces the laser diode ON until a BD signal is r eceived. Next, th e DC contro ller receives a VIDEO data stream ( VDO) from the formatter.
The formatter then sends VDO data to the DC controller. The DC controller translates the V DO signal into a VIDEO OUT signal ( VDOUT), which mod ulates the laser diode ON an d OFF, creating intermittent bursts of laser light that are reflected off the scanner mirror and onto the photosensitive drum to form a latent electrostatic image.
Last Rotation P eriod After printing is complete, the Last Rotation period begins, during which residual static charges are eliminated from the photosensitive drum to prepare for the next printed page. About 1.7 seconds after the Last Rotation period begins, a nominal standby voltage is applied to the transfer roller to stop the toner attraction.

A Duplexer This Appendix contains a functional overview of the Optional Duplexer, as well as step-by- step Installation and Removal & Replacement instru ctions. The Optional D uplexer, when used with the LaserJet 4 P lus/5 printer, allows printing on both sides of the paper.
Functional Overview The Duplexer consists of two major assemblies; the Switchback Assembly that is attached t o the back of the printer and the Holding Tray located direc tly under the printe r (see Figure A-1.
Duplex Printing Note The bol d text and numbers in th e following description refer t o parts s hown in F igure A-2. When the printer is operating in duplex mode, the print images are printed in reverse order. Page two prints on the first pass of the paper through the pr inter and page one prints on the second pass through.
As the paper moves f rom the Switchbac k Assembly, it is picked up by the r ollers that a re operated b y the Holding Tr ay Inpu t Stepper Motor. The Input Stepper Motor moves the paper into the Holding Tra y.

Infrared Communication The HP LaserJet 5, 5M, and 5N printers are equipped with an Infrared Datalink Associati on (IrDA) com pliant port. The IrDA specification allows “ wireless ” transmission of print data between a wide variety of hosts (primary) and peripheral (secondary) devices.
System Requirements • Hardware • Both the primary and secondary devi ces must be equipped with an I rDA-comp liant IR c omponent. Olde r, non-IrDA-compliant devices may not be compatible with the HP Lase rJet 5/5M/ 5N printers.
T o Print Using the Infrared P ort The C2929A Infrared Transceiver must be plugged into the infrared (IR) port on your HP LaserJ et 5, 5M, or 5N printer, located at the rear of th e printer (Figure B-6). This po rt is compliant with th e specifications determined by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA).
3 Send the print job. The status light on top of the IR pod turns on. (Printing a complex document or using a s oftware print spooler on your PC may delay the time it takes for the IR status light to tur n on.
If you still ha ve problems printing, make sure you are us ing an IrDA-compliant device and proper software and have selected the proper port for printing . Note The IrDA standard for infrared communications represents an emer ging technology. Older non-IrDA-compliant portable devices may not be compatible with your HP LaserJet 5/5M/5N printer.
If all these elements are properly installed and configured, use the IR test tool to test the IrDA protocol transmission and device operation. This tool for troubleshooting IR comm unication problems, shown in Figure 10, has been developed by Genoa Technology, Inc.
On HP Laser-Jet printers , a self-test page wil l be initiated by the test. If the “ TEST ” LED goes out a nd the “ PASS ” LED fails to light, the printer ’ s IR port is not functioning correctly; check the operator ’ s instructions included with the IR test tool.
Infrared P ort Not Responding Situat ion Solu tion The connection cannot be estab lished or the t ransm ission seems to b e taking longer than usual. Make sure the device you are using is IrD A-compliant; look for an IrDA symbol on the device or refer to the manual for the device for IrD A specif ications.
Situation S olution The pr inter pr ints only par t of a page or docum ent. The connection has been brok en during t ransmission. If you move the por table de vice dur ing transm ission, the conn ection c an be broken. I rD A -compliant de vices are design ed to recover from temporar y connection interruption s .
