the hp no. 81 and hp no. 83 supplies
the hp no. 81 and hp no. 83 supplies are designed to work together with your hp designjet 5000ps or 5000 printer. the type of supplies you receive with your printer depends on the type of ink system you specified; normal dye based ink or pigment-based uv ink. the components of the normal dye based ink are called the hp no. 81 supplies and the component of the pigment-based uv ink are called the hp no. 83 uv ink supplies.
hp no. 81 ink supplies (dye based)
the hp no. 81 ink supplies also referred to as imaging ink, they are designed to deliver sharp brilliant images with ultimate image quality performance.
hp no. 83 ink supplies (uv)
the hp no. 83 ink supplies also referred to as uv pigmented inks, they are designed to deliver bright and colorful outdoor light fast signs and posters that are resistant to ultra violet light.
the components
both ink systems consist of three components: printheads with their printhead cleaners and the ink cartridges. the printer uses six of each.
each 600-dpi thermal inkjet printhead applies thousands of ink droplets onto the paper. the printer automatically refills the printhead as it prints, enabling continuous uninterrupted printing. the ink is supplied to each printhead from a separate large capacity ink cartridge. the colors are light cyan, light magenta, yellow, cyan, magenta and black.
the printer uses printhead cleaners to clean and maintain the printheads, to ensure best possible image quality, and to seal the printheads when they are not in use to ensure long life.
printhead life is warranted to 700ml of ink consumed.
however, on average the anticipated life expectancy of the printheads is two or three times this. this is provided that the printhead is used under normal operating conditions (using hp ink cartridges only) and its "install before date" has not lapsed. however results vary depending on the print mode setting you use.
print resolution
you can choose between three levels of print mode: max. quality, productivity or max. speed from your software or from the printer's front-panel.
print resolution for max. quality print mode is 600 x 600 dots per inch, or 1200 x 600 dots per inch on glossy media if you use the enhanced resolution setting.
print resolution for productivity print mode and max.
speed print mode is 300 x 300 dots per inch, or 600 x 600 dots per inch if you use the enhanced resolution setting.
use max. speed to get draft copies of your prints at maximum throughput. productivity is optimized so that you get great image quality with the quickest throughput. select max. quality if you want to get the best quality for images and renderings.
user interface
the front-panel
the printer's front-panel includes an easy-to-use interface with a display, giving you access to a comprehensive set of printer functions and to a number of useful internal prints. see navigation, for a short tutorial to teach you how to navigate through the menus and a description of internal prints.

hp designjet webaccess
webaccess reports in detail on the status and history of your printer, and in some cases allows you to change the printer status.
to use webaccess
start your web browser and give the address of your printer, as follows:
http://[address]/
where [address] is the ip address of the printer. you can find out the ip address of the printer from the frontpanel, as follows:
1. from the printer setup options, select io setup.
2. from io setup, select card id.
3. under card id, find the line starting with ip=. the remainder of that line is the ip address of the printer.
as an alternative to the ip address, you may give the dns name of the printer. however, you will not be able to find the dns name in the front-panel; ask your network administrator if you would like to use it.
each status display is static: it does not automatically update itself as time goes by. to update it, click on the update icon. the following facilities are provided by the menu on the left side of the hp designjet webaccess window.

if you forget your password, use the "reset webaccess password" on the printer's front-panel to reset it.
