and off.) All of the Control Panel lights briefly illuminate, then the green Ready
light comes on.
2 Briefly 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 paper size and orientation.
•• 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.
