LaserJet 5 Error Map
The LaserJet 5/5M/5N printer has error messages that are
similar to the LaserJet 4/4M/4+/4M+. Use the following table to
look up the LJ5 error and take the recommended action. If the
recommendation is to see another error, for example See 00
POWERSAVE, look up the recommendation for that error in the
Printer Message Troubleshooting section (Tables 7-1 and 7-2).
Note
The LaserJet 5 printer’s Go key replaces both the
Online and Continue keys previously used to
resolve some of the temporary errors in the
LaserJet 4 and 4 Plus printers.
Note
For any LaserJet 5 error message preceded with a
number from 20 through 81, look up the
equivalently-numbered message in Table 7-1 and
proceed as directed.
