Step 6. Install print cartridge
1 Open the printer’s top cover.
Remove the print cartridge from its
packaging (save packaging for
possible cartridge storage).
Caution
To prevent damage to the print
cartr i dge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minutes.
2 Rotate the cartridge and gently
shake it from side to side to
distribute the toner evenly inside the
cartridge.
3 Locate the sealing tape tab on the
end of the cartridge. Carefully bend
the tab back and forth until it
separates from the cartridge.
Continued on the next page.
English
ENWW
start guide 13
4 Firmly pull the tab straight out from
the cartridge to remove the entire
length of tape. Avoid touching any
black toner on the tape.
Note
If the tab separates from the tape,
grasp the tape and pull it out of the
cartridge.
Note
If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off
with a dry cloth and wash clothing in
cold water. (Hot water sets toner into
fabric.)
5 Position the cartridge as shown with
the arrow pointing into the printer.
Slide the cartridge into the printer as
far as it will go and close the top
cover.
Note
If the print cartridge does not slide into
the printer easily , make sure all packing
material has been removed. Also,
make sure the jam access plates inside
the printer (identified with green
handles) are in the down position.

ENWW
Step 7. Load Tray 2
1 Pull Tray 2 out of the printer and
raise the tray cover.
2 Remove the packing cardboard and
tape.
3 Set the dial in the tray to the desired
setting so the printer will read the
correct size of paper. Use the toggle
switch to gain access to more sizes.
Note
The paper size indicated by the dial in
the tray must match the size of paper
loaded in the tray. If these sizes do not
match, the paper might jam or other
errors might occur.
Setting the dial adjusts the printer’s
sensors, not the guides inside the tray.
4 T o reposition the rear blue guide, tilt
it toward the front of the tray and
remove it.
English
ENWW
5 Align the rear guide with the desired
paper size. With the guide angled
slightly toward the front of the tray,
insert it into the appropriate holes.
Rotate the rear guide upright until it
snaps into place.
Continued on the next page.
start guide 15
6 Slide the blue side guides to the
desired paper size.
7 Load paper into the tray.
8 Make sure the paper is flat in the tray
at all four corners and below the tabs
on the guides.
9 Close the tray cover and slide the
tray into the printer.
Note
See the online use guide for
instructions on loading and printing on
custom-size paper.

ENWW
Step 8. Load Tray 1 (optional)
T ra y 1 is a multi-purpose tray and holds
up to 100 sheets of paper,
approximately 10 envelopes, or
20 index cards.
Note
Paper loaded in Tray 1 will be printed
first unless the Tray 1 setting is
changed from the printer control panel.
To change the order in which trays are
used, see the online use guide.
1 Open Tray 1 by pulling down on th e
top center of the door. Pull out the
tray extension until it clicks into
place.
2 Flip open the second tray extension
if the paper is longer than 9 inches
(229 mm).
3 Adjust the guides to the desired
paper size.
4 Load paper. The paper should fit
under the tabs on the guides.

Step 9. Attach power cord
1 Locate the power switch on the right
side of the printer. Make sure the
printer is turned off.
2 Connect the power cord to the
printer and a grounded power strip
or an AC outlet.
Caution
To prevent damage to the printer, use
only the power cord shipped with the
printer.
3 Turn the printer on.
4 After the printer warms up, the
READY message should appear on
the control panel display and the
Ready light should remain on. If the
READY message does not appear,
see the problem solving chapter in
the online use guide.

Step 10. Change the control panel overlay (optional)
If necessary, use the following
procedure to install the appropriate
control panel overlay for your
language.
1 Locate the control panel overlays in
the output bin of the printer. (These
overlays might have moved during
shipping.)
2 If necessary, remove the overlay
currently installed on the printer:
a Open the printer’s top cover.
b Insert a thin, rigid object under the
edge of the overlay, and then pull
up on the overlay until it comes off.
c Close the top cover.
3 Place the desired control panel
overlay onto the control panel and
snap it into place.

Step 11. Configure the control panel display language (optional)
By default, the control panel on the printer displays messages in
English. If necessary , set the printer to display messages and print
configuration pages in another supported language.
1 Turn the pr inter off.
2 Hold down [Select] while turning on the pr inter.
3 When SELECT LANGUAGE appears in the LED display, release
[Select].
4 After the printer has finished initializing, LANGUAGE = ENGLISH
will appear in the LED display.

Step 12. Connect printer cables
The HP LaserJet 5100 printer includes one interface: an IEEE-1284
parallel port.
The HP LaserJet 5100tn and 5100dtn printers also include an
HP Jetdirect print server with an additional fast Ethernet (10/
100Base-TX) port.

Connecting parallel cable
T o ensure reliability, use an IEEE-1284
bi-directional parallel cable. (These
cables are clearly marked with
“IEEE-1284.”) Only IEEE-1284 cables
support all of the printer’s advanced
features.
Caution
Make sure the printer is turned off.
1 Connect the parallel cable to the
parallel port.
2 Snap the wire clips in place to
secure the cable to the printer.
The cable should install easily. If
installation is difficult, check the
cable orientation.
3 Connect the other end of the cable
to the proper connector on the
computer.
Note
See the online use guide for
information on ordering a two- or threemeter IEEE-1284 parallel cable.

Connecting to fast Ethernet (10/100Base-TX) network
Caution
Use the RJ-45 port to connect the printer to fast Ethernet (10/
100Base-TX) network. (This port is only available on the HP
LaserJet 5100tn and 5100dtn printers.)
Make sure the printer is turned off before connecting to the RJ-45
port.

Note
ENWW
Connect a twisted-pair network cable to the RJ-45 port on the
•
HP Jetdirect print server card.
Connect the other end of the cable to the network.
•
For a successful link, either the 10 or 100 LED at the port should
turn on when the printer is turned on. If no LEDs turn on, the print
server is unable to link to the network. For more information, see
the problem-solving chapter in the online use guide.
