Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 5Si and 5Si Mopier Printers

Product specific information for the printer and queue system is provided.

Output bins:

The base LaserJet 5Si and 5Si Mopier printers have two possible destinations:

  • Top output bin that prints face down.
  • Left-side output bin that prints face up in reverse order.
  • If an optional High Capacity Output (HCO) device is installed, the additional trays are available as well. The base operating system supports up to eight of the HCO output bins for the HP 5Si printer, and up to five for the HCO output bins and a stapler bin for the 5Si Mopier.
The output bins can be accessed using the (-=) flag of the qprt command. The following table shows the possible values and the corresponding output bin destination for the LaserJet 5Si:

Number of copies (LaserJet 5Si Mopier):

The LaserJet 5Si Mopier supports printing copies internal with the -W flag. This differs from the -N flag supported by the spooler. With the -N flag, copies are processed on the base operating system machine and then sent to the printer one at a time. However, the -W option on the LaserJet 5Si Mopier sends only one copy of the print job to the printer and the copies are then produced by the printer. The basic format is: -W #
