System information

Rel. 7.0 and 8.0 Red Book for AIX

On Line

Switches the state of communication between computer and Mopier ON (on line) or

OFF (off line). Switching from online to off line stops printing as soon as possible.

Select* Selects a desired menu item choice.

Control Panel Display

The control panel displays messages in one or two lines of the character display.

• Ready indicates that the Mopier is ready to accept data.

• Status messages tell you what the HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier is doing at a given time.

• Attendance messages tell you to perform some action, such as adding more paper or

clearing a paper jam.

• Error messages communicate data and print errors. The HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier stops

printing for ten seconds, displays a message, and then automatically attempts to return to

the online state.

• Service messages communicate an HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier failure. Some errors can be

cleared by pressing the Select* key or by cycling the power (turning the power off and

then back on). Other errors stop all Mopier operations and require intervention from

service personnel.

Settings and Defaults

The HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier makes printing decisions based on temporary settings or permanent

defaults. Settings that you send from software applications override the HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier

defaults. For example, the HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier’s control panel default is portrait for print

orientation. You can request landscape orientation from your software and that will override this

default. Temporary settings remains in effect until the print job is finished.

Printing a Configuration Page

1. Press the Menu control panel key repeatedly until you see the “Test Menu” option.

existing error or service message).

2. Press the Items control panel key until you see the “PCL Config Page” item.

3. Press the Select* key to select your choice.

A menu page will print.
