Printer description
The HP LaserJet 5P and 5MP printers are designed for individuals and small work groups. They meet high-quality printing standards with true 600 x 600-dpi (dots per inch) resolution, 120 levels of gray, and a variety of type fonts. Two trays (one holding 100 sheets and the other holding 250 sheets) allow printing sizes from postcard to legal without changing trays. An IrDA-compliant infrared port comes standard, allowing wireless printing from the latest IrDA-compliant portable systems. Two parallel ports and one LocalTalk port (with auto switching between all ports) provide easy sharing and expanded use. Standard SIMM memory slots allow for memory expandability, optional printer language, or custom SIMM solutions.
The HP LaserJet 5P printer uses HP's Enhanced PCL 5 (Printer Command Language Level 5), a printer language that is standard for desktop laser printing in PC operating environments such as Microsoft (R) Windows and DOS.
The HP LaserJet 5MP printer also includes the Adobe (R) PostScript Level 2 printer language, used with the Apple Macintosh and for desktop laser printing in environments such as Windows.

2-MB memory with HP Memory Enhancement technology (MEt), effectively doubling available printer memory [3 MB in the HP LaserJet 5MP printer with Adobe Memory Booster technology (MBT)]
Industry-standard (IrDA-compliant) infrared port for wireless printing from the latest compatible systems.
Two parallel ports and one LocalTalk port with auto switching between all ports for easy sharing and expanded use
Instant power save with zero warm-up time for greater energy efficiency and fast first page out.
