the printer’s standard amount of memory. MEt automatically compresses data to
print complex pages.

Energy
Savings
The printer is designed with the PowerSave feature to conserve electricity by
substantially reducing power consumption when it is idle for a specified
length of time. The user-adjustable PowerSave feature qualifies the
HP LaserJet 5 Printer for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s
ENERGY STAR Computers award.
Toner
Savings
The EconoMode feature lowers printing costs by reducing the amount of
toner on the printed page by 50%, so the toner cartridge lasts longer. The
printed result is similar to the draft mode found on some dot matrix printers.
Fonts The printer comes with 45 scalable TrueType fonts built-in and an additional
65 on disk for MS Windows. HP FontSmart software is also included for
simple font management in MS Windows.
Options The HP LaserJet 5 printer also offers a wide variety of accessories and
options, such as a PostScript language SIMM, Flash SIMM, extra memory,
Network Interface Cards, duplexer (for two-sided printing), additional trays
(with varying sizes and capacities) and an envelope feeder.
In addition to printer drivers that let you select most printer options from your
computer screen, the software includes utilities specific for Windows,
Macintosh and networked computers. See Chapter 2 for a description of the
various software utilities.
