Additional Fonts in Region Specific Printers

Some HP DeskJet 600 printers contain flash memory. Flash memory provides the capability to install fonts and symbol sets for specific regions. The following figure shows how to identify printers with flash memory by observing the serial number label on the back of the printer.

Identifying Printers with Flash Memory

With Flash Memory

No Flash Memory

To identify a printer with flash memory, look for the lightning bolt symbol on the serial number label located on the back of the printer. The flash font code found directly below the lightning bolt can be used to identify the language of fonts downloaded into flash memory. Use the following tables to identify the fonts and symbol set(s) loaded into flash memory.

Color Kit Information

Color Kit

2162615

The optional Color Kit which includes a color print cartridge and a print cartridge storage container, provides color output printing capability from an HP DeskJet 600 printer. The printer comes from the factory as color capable, it does not require any modifications. Color features, however, need to be turned on in the printer driver dialog box in MS Windows. For more information, refer to the HP DeskJet 600 printer user documentation or to the information included with the Color Kit.

Notes

The print cartridge storage container will hold one black or one color print cartridge. To obtain maximum print quality and print cartridge life, always store the open print cartridge that is not in the printer in the print cartridge storage container.

When printing a color page with the color print cartridge, you cannot print true black. The printer will print composite black, made up of cyan, magenta, and yellow inks.

Product Performance Specifications

The HP DeskJet 600 prints a 600x300 dot size. Dots are placed on a 600x300 grid. Depletion is used to remove approximately 10% of the dots to prevent laying too much ink on the page.

In the Best mode, the paper advances at 600 DPI increments and places dots on a true 600x600 grid. Depletion in the Best mode removes approximately 43% of the dots.

To conserve memory, DOS fonts are stored at 300x300. REt is used to convert them to 600x300.

When printing from MS Windows, resolution determinations are made in the PC and then sent to the printer.
