5-7 psi is way too high
Although it would almost certainly never be reached anyway.
Nonetheless; I would set the control for about 1 psi.
If you can't heat the house with one psi - you have other issues. Most steam systems get AFU because people think that more steam is better. What you want to focus on is:
1. Venting out all the air quickly.
2. Good, smooth, easy condensate return.

All hell broke out. I goggled it and found it's the psi switch that is set 5-7 psi on this residential oil fired steam boiler no tankless. I have a job coming up with my boss and some other guys from the company I just wanted a little a little back round on the unit and the controls. I thought the control section would be the best place for advice.

When faced with the choice between changing one's mind, and proving that there is no need to do so, most tend to get busy on the proof.
