About Your Printer

Compatibility with LaserJet 4Si/5Si Printer

The HP 5000 D640 is compatible with the HP LaserJet 4Si printer driver. However, because

the D640 provides more functionality than the HP LaserJet 4Si, not all D640 features can be

accessed with the 4Si printer driver. You can use third party products or additional

programming to access additional D640 features.

The HP 5000 D640 is also compatible with the HP LaserJet 5Si printer driver. However, there

are a few limitations when using the LaserJet 5Si printer driver. Please refer to Chapter 6,

"Advanced Topics", for a discussion of LaserJet compatibility.

PCL Level 5e

The D640 printer supports PCL, the print language of HP LaserJet printers and the most

widely installed print language in the world. Support for PCL Level 5e provides powerful

formatting capabilities and compatibility with a wide range of software solutions.

Integral Hard Disk

The D640 features an internal hard disk drive(850 MB or more) factory preloaded with

thousands of fonts and symbol sets. The hard disk can also be used for storing additional fonts,

electronic forms as PCL macros, and company logos.

Energy Star Compliance

To help minimize power consumption, the D640 complies with the Energy Star Program of the

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Note

If you have not done so, please refer to the Installation Manual and complete the

installation procedures. These procedures ensure the safe operation of the printer and the best

print quality.

The printer requires regular maintenance, as described later in this manual. Although

maintenance takes only a few minutes weekly, it is very important to the quality of the

printouts and the life of the printer.

Caution

Hewlett-Packard recommends the use of Hewlett-Packard labelled consumable

supplies. Hewlett-Packard is not responsible for any failures or print quality issues arising

from the use of other than Hewlett-Packard supplies. Such failures are not covered under

warranty or by any Hewlett-Packard service agreement.
