HP LaserJet 5L
Printer
The HP LaserJet 5L printer, introduced in September 1995,
is much different in appearance than the LaserJet 4L
printer, but it has a very similar feature set, including the
same set of 26 internal typefaces. One of the main
differences is that the LaserJet 5L printer offers 600 dpi
printing. Although both printers have a print engine speed
of 4 pages per minute, the LaserJet 5L printer has faster
processing which increases performance. As the LaserJet
4L printer, the printer has a reduced-function control panel.
The HP LaserJet 5L printer has a vertical design and
supports all paper sizes supported by the LaserJet 4L
printer. In addition, the “custom” paper size is supported
through the printer driver.
The default symbol set is PC-8 instead of Roman-8.
Manual feed operation is slightly different for the HP
LaserJet 5L printer. When manual feed is selected, the
printer pauses and waits for the user to insert the correct
media into the printer (either in the paper input bin or the
single sheet input slot) and press the control panel key.
PCL and PJL operation is almost identical to that of the HP
LaserJet 4L printer. Two differences are that the LaserJet
5L printer adds support for the logical operations and pixel
placement commands. These features are described in this
chapter in the LaserJet 4ML section. (Refer to Table 1-1,
HP LaserJet Printer Feature Comparison, for the specific
PCL implementation.)
