Step 4: Install the toner cartridge

1Open the EP Cartridge door.

2Remove toner cartridge from its box and cut it open. Save the packing materials for possible cartridge storage.

3Shake the cartridge vigorously to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. (See Figure 2-2.)

4Grasp the toner sealing tab on the right side of the cartridge. Pull firmly to remove the strip of sealing tape.

5Grasp the plastic cartridge body and slide the cartridge into the printer, pushing it firmly into place. Close the EP Cartridge door.

Step 5: Load paper

1Insert paper into the Input Paper Bin.

2Adjust paper guides to fit the width of the paper snugly. This avoids paper skewing.

Step 6: Attach the power cord

1Connect the power cord at the right rear of the the printer. (Since there is not a power switch, plugging in the power cord is the only method to power the printer on and off.) All of the Control Panel lights briefly illuminate, then the green Ready light comes on.

2Briefly press the Front Panel Button to generate a self test and verify that the printer is working.

Step 7: Install printing software

The printing software package supplied with the HP LaserJet 5L printer provides many useful programs and utilities. With this software, you can:

∙Select the number of copies you would like to print.

∙Adjust printing resolution, brightness, and contrast.

∙Learn tips and techniques for using this software.

This software allows you to install two types of printer drivers: a host-based driver and a PCL driver. If your system meets the minimum requirements, the host-based software will be installed automatically.
