m
‘” “
Congratulations on purchasing a Star LS-5 Series Laser Printer. You will be
delighted with the quality of the printed images and the ease of operation.
With your computer, software and this printer, you can create professionallooking documents.
This Operations Manual explores the entire range of printing possibilities of
the Star LS-5 Series Printer. This manual is for beginners and for those who
plan to concentrate on the basics.
Advanced users and those interested in programming may want to purchase
our optional Applications Manual. For details, please contact your dealer.
Chapter 2 begins with an overview of the manual and of the Star Laser
printer. This chapter explains how to unpack your new printer and prepare
it for initial operation. Chapter 3 explains how to operate the printer’s control
panel and display screen.
Some people like to skip the preliminary explanations and begin using the
printer immediately. Chapter 4 provides the information for a quick start. If
you begin with Chapter 4. you should read the rest of the manual in sequence,
at some later time, for a complete picture of your printer and its operations.
Chapter 5 describes the font and typeface characteristics that will enable you
to give your printed page that professional look.
The Star LS-5EX emulates the operation of the HP LaserJet Ill, and the Star
LS-5TT emulates the operation of the Apple LaserWriter NTX and the HP
LaserJet ~.
With this capability, the star LS-5 Series Printer will operate with a wide
range of software that is available on the market.
Chapters 6 and 7 describe the maintenance and troubleshooting operations
to keep your Star LS-5 Series Printer working in “perfect” condition.
Chapter 8 describes the optional accessories which you can select with the
Star LS-5 Series Laser Printer.

1.1 LASER PRINTING
Before you begin learning about your new Star LS-5 Series Laser Printer, you
may find it helpful to know something about laser printing itself.
A laser is actually abeam of light ofjust one wavelength (Laser is an acronym
for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation). This “highly
coherent” beam of light can be focused very sharply. Lasers, generated by
gases, liquids or semiconductors, are widely used in applications ranging
from surgery to the visual arts.
Laser printing is a process that uses a laser beam — in this case, generated
by a semiconductor — to activate portions of an electrically charged surface.
These activated parts represents the words, numbers, or graphics being sent
from the computer for printing. Other parts of the printer transfer this image
to paper, then clean the surface and prepare it to receive more information to
be printed.
In other words, this process is a type of laser-activated temporary engraving.
The Star LS-5 Series Laser Printer consists of two interconnected assemblies
— the toner cartridge and the printer body.
The toner cartridge contains the drum, which is the rotating surface. In the
darkness of the toner cartridge, the drum holds a negative charge placed on
it by the primary corona wire in the printer. Shutters on the bottom of the toner
cartridge assure that no unwanted light penetrates its interior.
When text or graphics are sent by the computer to the printer, a laser beam
is generated by a semiconductor laser diode. This beam is focused by special
scanning mirrors that turn the light beam into a tool that “writes” or “paints”
on the surface of the drum. The area of the drum touched by the laser beam
loses its negative charge and contains a reverse image of the information sent
from the computer. As the drum rotates, it passes a developer unit that is also
rotating, but in the opposite direction. The surface of the developer unit is
covered with toner (“ink”) which has a negative charge. The neutralized
portions of the drum, containing the information to be printed, picks up
negatively charged toner from the developer unit.
At this point, paper fed from the paper cassette moves through the transfer
unit, there it receives a positive charge. As the drum rotates, the negatively
charged particles of toner are attached to the positively charged surface of the
paper.
2
A combination of heat and pressure fuse the image to the paper. The paper
is then ejected from the printer.
Finally, a cleaning mechanism in the toner cartridge removes excess toner
from the drum, and a special light beam neutralizes its entire surface. Then
the entire process can begin again.

1.3 PRINTER FEATURES
The Star LS-5 Series Laser Printer is a highly compact, fast and highresolution model, equally well-suited to home or office use. Its small
footprint consumes significantly less space than many ofother laser printers,
making it admirably suited for use in places where space is at a premium.
Standar@output resolution is 300 x 300 dots per inch. This can be boosted
to 300 x 600 dots per inch, giving the printer a noticeable edge over the
competition in clearly and sharpness of output.
The printing process used is that of’laser beam scanning, described in the
previous section.
The printer’s engine is rated for five pages per minutes— more than adequate
for home use. and fine for many commercial environments. Actual throughput, however, depends on several other factors as well, most important y the
complexity of documents that are transmitted to the printer for printing.
Paper feeding is from one of two sources, a slide-in cassette that fits
compactly into the deck at the base of the printer chassis. and a front-loading
tray. The cassette holds 250 sheets as standard and there is also an additional
feeder unit and cassette available as an option that will increase cassettefeeding capacity to 500 sheets. The front paper tray can hold 50 sheets. A
range of paper sizes (Letter, A4, Executive. B5, Legal), and envelope sizes
— COM- 10, Monarch, DL and C5 are available. Printing materials include
plain paper, envelopes, labels and transparency films.
The printer is easily setup and controlled by means of the control panel and
LCD display screen.
Connection to host computers is via any one of three ports — parallel,
RS-232C serial or AppleTalk. Two computers connected to dif-ferentports
may freely share the printer. The AppleTalk interface is only available for use
with the LS-5TT or the LS-5EX with its,optional TrueImage Board installed.
Internally the printer processes data using a fast, high-performance RISC
chip — the 16 MHz INTEL 80960SA.
The LS-5EX comes with 1MB of RAM as standard, and the LS-5TT comes
with 2 MB of RAM as standard. This can be expanded to a maximum of 7
MB (LS-5EX) or 8 MB (LS-5TT). which is advisable if complex documents
are to be processed, or if heavy use of fonts and macros is envisaged.
6
There are two emulations provided — Hewlett Packard’s Printer Control
Language (PCL), incorporating the GL/2 graphics language, and TrueImage,
Microsoft’s PostScript-compatible page description language. (The
TrueImage emulation is only available for use with the LS-5TT or the
LS-5EX with its optional TrueImage Board installed.)
In each emulation there area selection of built-in fonts—22 PCL fonts and
35 TrueType (the name for TrueImage’s font format). This offers considerable typographic flexibility without the need to purchase additional fonts.
Additional fonts may be installed on cartridge (HP emulation mode only) or
downloaded from the host computer.

Setting Up the Star
LS-5 Series Printer
E!i
‘”
“
The fact that you’re now reading this manual shows that you’ve opened the
carton containing your new Star LS-5 Series Printer. This chapter will help
you to unpack the printer, set it up, and get it running.
First, you should make some preparations. You may already have decided on
the printer’s new location. Whether you have or have not, run through this
checklist of requirements:
●
Environmental control
The printer andtonercartridge should never be exposed to strong sunshine
or other direct heat sources. It should also be located away from air
conditioning ducts, dust and fumes. Excessive moisture shouldbe avoided,
such as humidity in excess of 85~oor less than 15%. If it is comfortable
for you, then it will be comfortable for your printer.
●
A large, strong table or stand
The printer weights approx. 26.5 lbs ( 12kg)and must be firmly supported.
Also, the printer will need more room than it takes up in the shipping
carton, because the front paper tray will extend forward from the front; so
plan for some additional space.
●
A three-pronged outlet
The outlet should be no more than 6.5 feet (2.Om)from the printer (the
length of the power cord), preferably one shielded from power fluctuations. No motor-driven appliance should be connected to the same outlet.
This will avoid interface with the printer’s operations.
●
A fresh toner cartridge (product #EP-40XA)
●
Paper
A package of 16-28 lb (60 - 105g/mz)photocopier paper is best to start
with; however, the printer can use thicker paper, as well as special media,
such as envelopes and transparent sheets.
9
2.1 UNPACKING

17
2.2 INSTALLING THE TONER CARTRIDGE
Important Notice
●
Install the toner cartridge immediately after opening the aluminum bag.
Permanent damage can be caused by exposing light to the photosensitive
drum. NEVER expose the cartridge to the strong light (more than 15000
Iux) or room lighting (1000 IUX)for more than five minutes.
Do not open the drum’s protective shutter on the toner cartridge.
Keep the cartridge away from CRTs, disk drives, diskettes, etc. Otherwise, CRTs and disk drives can be damaged, and data on diskettes can be
destroyed by the magnetic force inside the cartridge.
●
When handling the cartridge, do not touch the bottom of the toner
cartridge. Print quality will be adversely affected if the protective shutter
is open and the drum is damaged. The drum can also be damaged if it is
exposed to light.
●
Always keep the toner cartridge with the label facing up. Do not turn it
upside down or stand it on end. The toner may become caked, and this
causes print quality to deteriorate.
●
Use the cartridge before the expiration date printed on the carton.
Otherwise print quality may deteriorate.
●
Use only genuine Star toner cartridge, EP-40XA.
●
Dispose of your used toner cartridge as a noninflammable item.
18
Follow the instructions below to install the toner cartridge for the first time,
or when replacing the used one.
1. Open the front cover as described in “2. 1.5 Opening and Closing the
Printer”.
2. If you are installing the toner cartridge for the first time, skip to Step 3. If
you are replacing the old toner cartridge, pull out the used toner cartridge
and dispose it in the proper manner.
NOTE; Keep the toner cartridge horizontally to avoid scattering leftover
toner.
3. Open the aluminum bag containing the toner cartridge and remove it.
\
NOTE: Save the aluminum bag. as you may need it for storing the cartridge
when you move the printer to another place in the future.
19
4. Holding the cartridge with both hands, rock it gently from end to end, 7
or 8 times, to distribute the toner evenly. If the toner is not distributed
evenly in the cartridge, it may adversely affect print quality.
5. Place the cartridge on a flat surface. While holding down the cartridge
with one hand, use the other hand to pull the tab to remove the seal.
Make sure that the tab is pulled smoothly in a direction parallel to the flat
surface. Otherwise, the tape may break or snap, making the cartridge
unusable.
20
6. Align the guides on the toner cartridge (marked by an orange line) with the
guides inside the printer (marked by an orange arrow) and gently slide the
cartridge into position.

Make sure that the power switch on the printer is set to OFF, then connect the
power cord to the printer and an AC power outlet as shown below:
1. Insert the power cord into the receptacle on the back of the m-inter.
.
2. Insert the power cord into a grounded outlet.
Only use the power cord supplied with the printer. Note that this power cord
is fitted with a ground pin. This grounding is an important safety feature and
should not be ignored. If a suitable grounded socket is not available, contact
a qualified electrician to rectify the situation.
34
2.5 CONNECTING THE INTERFACE CABLE
The host computer transmits information to the printer through an interface
cable. The printer is provided up to three types of interface (serial, parallel
and AppleTalk).
The AppleTalk interface is only available for use with the LS-5TT or the
LS-5EX with its optional TrueImage Board installed.
An interface cable is not supplied with the printer. Determine the kind of
interface cable you want to use, and purchase the appropriate cable from your
supplier.
1 Before connecting the interface cable, make sure that the power to the
printer and the computer is turned off.
2 Plug one end of the interface cable into the appropriate connector on the
rear side of the printer.
3 For parallel (Centronics) interface, secure the cable connector using
connector clips. For serial interface, fasten the cable connector using
screws.
I
35
4. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate interface on the host
computer.
m
NOTE: The printer’s factory setting is for a parallel interface. If the serial
interface is to be used, you need to select the interface on the control
panel. See “4.3. 1 Selecting the Serial Interface” for selecting type
of interface.

Initial Operation
3.1 FRONT PANEL
The front panel of Star LS-5 Series is a combination control board and
interactive message center. The panel consists of:
. a 2-line, 32 character LCD display screen
. 5 LED lights
●
8 momentary contact buttons
The momentary contact buttons permit you to perfrom various printer
functions. In turn, the printer uses the display screen and the light indicators
to convey information to you.
The screen display is the primary way the printer communicates with the
operator. It informs the operator about the machine’s overall state including:
the printer’s status, alarm conditions that require some action by the operator,
“soft” errors, and messages when selecting current, initial and default printer
parameters. The LEDs provide an “at a glance” summary of the printer’s
status.

3.1.2 The Buttons
This section explains the various meaning and uses of the buttons, including
their light indicators, when applicable. Keep in mind that the buttons’
functions depend on the mode the printer is in: the Normal Mode and
Program Mode.
ON LINE
Pressing this button switches the printer from off-line to on-line or vice versa.
When the printer is on-line (ON LINE LED is lit), the printer is able to receive
information from the computer and print it. All other buttons (except
( ‘ZR,==) button under certain conditions) are inactive when the printer is
on-line.
When the printer is off-line, the printer is unable to receive information and
print, but the other buttons can be used. If the printer is in the Program Mode,
pressing this button will exit the printer from the Program Mode, and enter
it into the Normal Mode.
PRINT
This button is active only when the printer is off-line. Pressing the button will
print and eject any page of data. If there is no data in the printer, the
depression of the button will be ignored. When printing is in operation, the
LED is lit.
ERROR SKZP/<
This button is active only when the printer is off-line. In the Normal Mode,
pressing this button has no effect if no alarm condition exists. However, if an
alarm or warning condition exists, pressing this button causes the printer to
return to the previous state after corrective action has been taken.
When the printer is off-line and in the Program Mode, this button is called
NEXT(<). During programming, pressing this button displays the various
items under a category for the operator to select next in the sequence.
39
TEST/>
Pressing this button when the printer is in Normal Mode will operate in the
following sequence:
1. Pressing this button displays “HOLD FOR TEST” on the bottom line of
the LCD display screen. If the button is released while this message is
displayed, the printer returns to the previous state.
2. If the button is held down for two seconds, the screen will display
“STATUS SHEET” on the top line. If the button is released, the printer
will print a status sheet (see “3.2.1 Printing Test Sheets”).
3. Ifthebutton ispressedfortwo more seconds (except in Hex Dump mode),
the screen will display “FONT LIST” on the top line. If the button is
released, the printer will print a font list.
4. If the button is pressed for two more seconds (inthe TrueImage Emulation
mode), the screen will display “TEST PAGE” on the top line, and the
printer will print a test page.
When the printer is off-line and in the Program Mode, this button is called
PREVIOUS(>). During programming, pressing this button displays the
“previous” items under a category for the operator to select in the sequence.
RESET/V
This button has three functions when the printer is off-line.
. Pressing and holding this button when the printer is in the Normal Mode
the screen will display “HOLD FOR RESET”. If this button is held for
more than two seconds, “REINIT IA LZED” message is displayed on the
screen and the printer is reinitialized to the initial settings of the emulation
currently selected, This will also clear the input buffer, any page in
composition, and all composed pages queued up.
●
When the printeris in the Program Mode, this button iscalled ENTER( V).
Pressing this button “enters” the current category and selects it. This is
indicated by a “@” symbol.
●
Turning the power on while holding down this button causes the printer
to enter the display language selection mode. (See “4.9 Selecting Display

Glossary
ASCII (as’ kee) — a standardized and commonly accepted numerical code
that represents letters, numbers, and symbols, as well as command
sets. ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information
Interchange.
Baud— a measure of the speed at which information is transmitted. The baud
rate, which is set for serial transmissions, is approximately the
number of characters transmitted per second multiplied by 10.
Bitmap fonts— made of tiny dot-by-dot patterns in pre-defined sizes.
Bitmap fonts have a fixed point size, pitch and symbol set attributes.
Byte — a series of 8 bits that represents one character.
Centronics interface — a standard wiring configuration for parallel data
transmission. Centronics is often used as a synonym for the parallel
standard developed by Centronics Inc.
Character Set — the complete set of characters available in a font.
Data Bits — the number of bits in a transmitted byte that actually contains
data.
EEPROM — Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. It
has an internal switch to permit a user to erase the contents and write
new contents into it by means of electrical signals.
EP-40XA Cartridge — A disposable type of process cartridge which
contains the photosensitive drum and toner.
Emulation — behaving like something else. The Star LS-5EX can emulate,
or behave like the HP LaserJet 111laser printer, and the Star LS-5TT
can emulate the operation of the Apple LaserWriter NTX, a
PostScript version, and the HP LaserJet 111.
.
Expansion RAM board— An available option that is easily attached to the
Star LS-5 Series Printer to expand its RAM.
167
Fixing assembly — The assembly used to fix the toner on to the paper or
other material using heat and pressure in printing process. It is
located inside the printer and it gets extremely hot during the
operation.
Font — a set of letters, numbers, and symbols of the same typeface design.
Font cartridge — Font cartridges contain fonts which can supplement the
‘available resident fonts of the printer to increase the variety of
typefaces.
Handshaking — in data communication, the automatic acknowledging by
the receiving device of information that has been sent to it, either by
signals and the interface (“hard”) or by software control (“soft”).
Hex dump — conversion by the printer of ASCII symbols into their
hexadecimal (base 16) equivalent. This is useful for programmers or
other users who want to troubleshoot the communications between
the computer and the printer.
HMI (Horizontal Motion Index) — refers to dot spacing in the smallest
increment that can be made in the horizontal or x axis.
Interface — a hardware plug that allows cable connections of two devices.
For instance, a cable from a computer parallel port to a printers
parallel port.
Landscape — printing on paper across its wider dimension, such as a
spreadsheet that is 11 in. wide and 8.5 in. high: landscape pictures
are usually wider than they are tall.
NV RAM — NV(Non-volatile) Random Access Memory is the permanent
storage by the Star LS-5 Series Printer of settings programmed from
the front panel, even when the power is turned off. When the printer
is turned on again, these settings become the current settings.
Parallel — a communications interface that sends or receives 8 bits of
information plus control signals at a time.
Parity — a bit in a serial information that allows a computer and printer to
automatically check for errors in transmission.
Pitch — the width of a typeface measured in characters per inch.
Point — the height of a type font, measured in points, or 1/72 of an inch
168
Portrait — printing on paper across its narrower dimension. such as a letter
on paper that is 8.5 in. wide and 11 in. high: portrait pictures are
usually taller than they are wide.
Proportional type — a typeface in which some letters take up more room
on u printed line than others, such as W taking more space than [. The
spticingof the letters is also intended to enhance the esthetic quality
of the printed page.
RAM — Random Access Memory. or memory that can be used to store
information temporarily, such as text or printing configurations.
RAM-stored information is erased when the power is turned off.
ROM — Read On]y Memory, or memory in which information can be stored
permanently. whether the power is on or off.
RS-232— a wiring configuration for sending and receiving serial transmissions. including data and acknowledgments between sending and
receiving equipment (“handshaking”).
Scalable fonts —created within the printer on a character-by-character basis
ensuring high speed and print quality. In virtually limitless sizes,
fonts can be scaled from 3 points to 999.75 points in quarter-point
increments.
Serial — a communications interface that sends or receives 1 bit of
information at a time tit a specified baud rate.
Stop Bit — 1or 2 bits used by the computer for the timing ofa transmission
of information.
Stroke weight — the intensity of a printed charucter, such as Ii,qht.mediunz.
or bold. Normal printing is medium weight.
Symbol Set — the entire list of’ASCII letters, numbers, and symbols used
with a particular language, such as English or Spanish.
VMI (Vertical Motion Index) — refers to line spacing, the smallest increment that can be made in the vertical or ) axis.
