HP LaserJet 5Si and 5SiMx Printers HP LaserJet 5Si and 5SiMx printers are designed for using in shared printing environments. The HP LaserJet 5SiMx printer is equivalent to the HP LaserJet 5Si printer, but also includes PostScript Level 2, 8 Mb of additional memory, and the HP JetDirect network interface card. HP LaserJet 5Si and 5SiMx printers have features similar to those of HP LaserJet 4Si and 4SiMx printers, with improved performance and extra paper handling features. Some of the feature differences are listed below. • The printers include the same set of internal fonts, but there are no font cartridge slots on the printers. Both printers support font/macro SIMMs and downloaded soft fonts and macros. • The default symbol set is PC-8 instead of Roman-8. • Additional paper and envelope sizes are supported, including ledger (11" x 17"). Executive size paper is only supported by the MP tray. • There is no job offset mechanism in the printers. • HP LaserJet 5Si and 5SiMx printers do not request the envelope size every time the power is cycled. It is assumed that the size does not usually change between power down and power up. • Base HP LaserJet 5Si and 5SiMx printers have one 100-sheet multi-purpose tray (Tray 1), and two 500-sheet universal-input trays. Optional paper handling devices include a duplex unit, a power envelope feeder, a 2000-sheet input tray and a multi-bin mailbox. • HP LaserJet 4Si and 4SiMx printers used "tray locking" to prevent automatic selection of a paper tray. HP LaserJet 5Si and 5SiMx printers accomplish "tray locking" using the Alphanumeric ID command to select the paper tray by media type.
