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.

16 start guide

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.

English

ENWW

Load letter or A4 paper with the

•

long edge toward the printer. Load legal, 11 x 17, or A3 paper

•

with the short edge toward the printer.

Note

See the sections on letterhead, envelopes, and duple xing in the online use guide for proper orientation of specific jobs.

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.

English

ENWW

start guide 19

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.

5 When LANGUAGE = ENGLISH appears in the display, press

[- VALUE +] to scroll through the available languages.

6 Press [Select] to save the desired language as the new def ault. 7 Press [Go] to return to READY. 8 To activate your new language choice, turn the printer off and

then turn the prin ter on. 9 The LED display text should now appear in the selected

language.

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.
