Input/Output

A built in Bi-Tronics parallel interface allows high-speed two-way communication between the printer and your computer. Two MIO slots allow for extended connectivity. If serial connection is required, contact an authorized HP dealer for information about an optional serial MIO card or a serial-to-parallel converter.

The HP JetDirect Print Server (standard on the 5Si MX/5Si NX and available as an option on the 5Si) allows the printer to function through most networks without a separate print server.

Energy Efficiency

The printer’s Power Save feature conserves electricity by substantially reducing power consumption when idle for a user-specified length of time. As an EPA Energy Star partner, Hewlett-Packard has determined that this product meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.

You may change the POWER SAVE DELAY from the default of 1 hour. This item is located in the CONFIGURATION MENU on the printer control panel.

EconoMode

EconoMode reduces the amount of toner applied to the printed page and is ideal for printing document drafts. When EconoMode is on, the print on the page appears significantly lighter but is still readable. (EconoMode has no effect on the speed of the printer or the amount of energy used—it only conserves toner.)
