My experiences with H-P are that H-P provides a User Manual with its
printers, but puts most of the technical information in a Technical
Reference Manual that is available at extra cost.  In the front of
your User Manual there should be instructions on where and how to
order the Technical References.  If not, the following is from the
front of the H-P LJIIIsi manual:
