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.

Thermal Inkjet Technology
The HP DeskJet printer family uses Thermal InkJet II (TIJ II) technology. This technology centers on a disposable print cartridge which propels ink out of 48 nozzles. The basic principle of TIJ II is to apply heat to a tiny measure of ink until it expands and is propelled through a nozzle.
This is achieved by first filling a small reservoir, known as the firing chamber, with ink. The next step is to heat the ink with a thin-film resistor layered above the firing chamber. As the ink heats up, it expands to form a bubble. As the bubble continues to expand and burst, it is forced through the nozzle located below the firing chamber.
This process is repeated up to 8,000 times per second and creates residual heat in the resistor which must be removed. A layer of silicon placed above the resistor transfers the residual heat from the resistor.
Print Cartridge Safety
If ink is accidentally ingested, contact the HP Health Line 1 (800) 457-4209 in North America. From all other international locations the HP Health Line can be reached by calling 1 (503) 494-7199. For health related issues, this line is staffed 24 hours per day.
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is available for the print cartridges. The MSDS includes product identification, characteristics of the ink, and precautions for handling and use. You can request a MSDS at the following address:
Hewlett-Packard Customer Information Center Department MSDS 19310 Pruneridge Avenue Cupertino, CA 95014 Mailstop 49AS
Telephone 1 (800) 752-0900 Ask for Department MSDS (6:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific Time)
The Material Safety Data Sheet is also available from the following sources:
HP forums of electronic bulletin board services HP FIRST Customer Support Centers
Refer to “Service and Support/Resources” for access to the above resources.
Maintaining Print Cartridges
The printer automatically performs operations of spitting, wiping, and capping of the print cartridge nozzles to maintain optimum print quality. These operations occur transparently to the user.
Proper use and handling will provide optimum print quality and print cartridge life.
Note
See “Print Cartridge Information/Maintenance and Troubleshooting” for more print cartridge troubleshooting information.
Print Cartridge Tips
Print Cartridge Dos and Don’ts
Do: Don’t:
Keep print cartridges sealed in their packaging until ready for use. (The print cartridges have a longer life sealed in the packaging than in the printer or the print cartridge storage container.
Keep opened print cartridges in the printer or the storage container.
If the printout is missing dots or white lines appear to run through the printout, refer to “Troubleshooting Information/Print Quality Problems/Missing Dots.”
Store print cartridges at room temperature. Do not install a print cartridge that has crusting
Press the Power button to turn off the printer rather than unplugging the printer.
Do not use print cartridges after the expiration date. See “Print Cartridge Information/ Maintenance and Troubleshooting.”
Do not unplug the printer without turning the power off from the power button. Pressing the power button caps the print cartridge in the service station, keeping the ink from drying in the print cartridge nozzles.
Do not allow the print cartridge contacts and nozzles to touch any surface or object, including your fingers. Skin oil and dust can cause print quality problems.
of dried ink around the print cartridge nozzles. Discard it and install a new print cartridge.
Note On the HP DeskJet and Desk Writer 600 Series Printers,
opening the access door automatically moves the print cartridge to the center of the mechanism for easy access.
Modifying or Refilling Print Cartridges
See “Print Cartridge Information/General/Refilling Policy.”
Identifying the Expiration Date
3
Print quality problems may be caused by print cartridges that have passed their expiration date. The print cartridge expiration date is 18 months after the date of manufacture.
Methods for Identifying Print Cartridge Expiration Dates
Method 1 - Read the Date on the Box
218490
If the print cartridge is in a box, read the “Use Before” date printed on the box.
Method 2 - Read the Code on the Print Cartridge
1.Determine the manufacturing date from the code printed on the print cartridge.
Color Print Cartridge
Black Print Cartridge
2.Replace the print cartridge if it is more than 18 months after the manufacturing date code.
Note Ink can evaporate through the nozzles, reducing the print
cartridge life. Therefore, keep print cartridges in their sealed container or capped by the service station at the right end of the mechanism.
Use a FIFO (First In, First Out) inventory control process to avoid having print cartridges longer than the print cartridge shelf life specification.
Short Print Cartridge Life
There are several causes for short print cartridge life. The information below shows the average life of a print cartridge and possible causes for a reduction to its life.

Possible Causes for Short Print Cartridge Life
Cause Reason
Higher coverage rate than listed in specifications.
The pages contain graphics.
The selected print mode uses more ink.
Print cartridge is past its expiration date.
Continued on next page
The rate of coverage on the page significantly impacts the number of pages per print cartridge. Heavy concentrations of ink and higher print quality significantly reduces the number of pages per print cartridge.
Generally, graphics use ink at a much higher rate than text. If possible, print drafts of documents without the graphics.
Higher quality print modes use more ink than a draft print mode. To maximize print cartridge life, print drafts of documents in EconoFast mode, then print the final copies in Best mode.
Replace the print cartridge. Use a FIFO (First In-First Out) inventory process to minimize having a stock of expired print cartridges.

Short color print cartridge life.
A service station is located at the right end of the mechanism. This service station caps the print cartridge nozzles to minimize ink drying in the nozzles. Turning off the printer caps the print cartridge and returns it to the service station. Always allow the print cartridge to return to the home position by pressing the Power button rather than unplugging the printer.
Run the print cartridge cleaning routine. If print quality is not restored after a page of printing, replace the print cartridge.
The process of restoring print cartridges, by running the cleaning routine, uses ink. Avoid excessive use of the cleaning routine.
Open print cartridges must be stored in the printer.
Hewlett-Packard does not recommend or guarantee the print quality or life from the refilling of print cartridges. Replace the print cartridge with a new print cartridge.
The print cartridge has a longer life sealed in its packaging rather than in the printer or the print cartridge storage container. Keep print cartridges sealed in their packaging until needed. Then, install the print cartridge promptly into the printer.
It is very easy to underestimate the number of pages printed. When counting pages per cartridge, be sure to count drafts that are thrown away.

Selecting Paper Tips
Tips for Selecting and Using Paper
For paper handling and printable area specifications, refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”
Always use paper that conforms to the product’s specifications. Refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”
Most plain paper manufactured for photo-copying produces good results for most printing needs. However, cotton bond paper, HP Premium Inkjet Paper, and HP Premium Glossy Paper produce excellent printing results for special projects.
Before you purchase large quantities of a certain type of paper, print on both sides of a few sheets to determine if it provides acceptable quality printing on its "print side." (See "Determining the Print Side of Media.")
Be sure that your paper does not have tears, dust, wrinkles, or curled or bent edges.
Tips for Selecting and Using Envelopes
Always use envelopes that conform to the product’s Specifications. Refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”
Before you purchase large quantities of a certain type of envelope, first sample its ease of use with the printer to determine whether it's compatible.
Use high quality envelopes that are thin and sharply creased. Do not use envelopes that are shiny or embossed or that have
clasps or windows. Do not use envelopes with thick or crooked edges, or envelopes
that are damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped.
Tips for Selecting and Using Transparencies and other Media
Always use transparencies, index cards, postcards, and other media that conform to the product’s Specifications. Refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”
For best results when printing on transparencies, use HP Premium Transparency Film.
Do not use paper that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations. Do not use multiple-part forms. Do not use paper that is heavily textured or embossed.
Tips for Selecting and Using Labels
The following Hewlett-Packard printers support labels:
HP DeskJet 510 HP DeskJet 520 HP DeskJet 540 HP DeskJet 550C HP DeskJet 560C HP DeskJet 600 Series HP DeskJet 750C HP DeskJet 800 Series
While label support is not officially recognized in the User’s Guides, the printers listed above can successfully be used if the following guidelines are STRICTLY followed:
HP DeskWriter 510 HP DeskWriter 520 HP DeskWriter 540 HP DeskWriter 550C HP DeskWriter 560C HP DeskWriter 600 Series
Caution Failure to follow the suggestions below can permanently
damage your printer.
The following are guidelines when using labels in HP DeskJet printers:
Use only Avery paper labels that are specifically designed for use with HP inkjet printers. These labels are less likely to peel when inside the printer.
Do not use plastic or clear labels. DeskJet inks are formulated for use with paper or specially treated plastic papers and will not dry properly when used with plastic or clear labels.
Do not use ANY label material which is damaged, folded, curled, or wrinkled in any fashion. These conditions are frequent causes of jams caused by labels peeling inside the printer. Labels that have peeled inside the printer are difficult to remove and may necessitate returning the printer to HP for service.
Do not use labels that are over two years old. Older label materials are more likely to peel inside the printer.
Do not print on partially used sheets of label material. The varying thicknesses of material passing over the print rollers can cause label jams or print skew.
Observe the following guidelines when storing label materials:
Always store label materials in the manufacturer’s packaging until ready for use. The manufacturer’s packaging protects the labels and adhesives from humidity extremes which could prematurely age the labels.
Always store label materials out of direct sunlight. Keep label materials flat in the original packaging to help prevent
premature aging, wrinkling or bending.
Tips for Selecting and Using Banner Paper
For paper handling and printable area specifications, refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”
Always use paper that conforms to the product’s specifications. Refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”
Most 20 lb Z-fold banner-type paper will produce good results for your banner printing needs. However, HP Premium Inkjet Banner Paper, will produce excellent printing results for all your banner printing projects.
Before you purchase large quantities of a certain type of paper, print a few sheets to determine if it provides acceptable quality printing.
Be sure that your paper does not have tears, dust, wrinkles, or curled or bent edges.
Tips for Selecting and Using HP Photo Paper with the HP Photo Cartridge
Verify that the HP Photo Cartridge is intended for use in your printer. Refer to the “User’s Guide” for your printer.
Remove the black print cartridge and replace it with the HP Photo Cartridge. Refer to the “User’s Guide” for your printer for instructions.
Be certain that you have selected “Use HP Photo Cartridge” in the Page Setup box.
Use HP Photo Paper (loaded glossy-side down) in your printer’s IN tray, not HP Premium InkJet paper when you print photographs. Using HP Photo paper will ensure high-quality, fade-resistant images.
For paper handling and printable area specifications, refer to the “User’s Guide” for your printer.
Before you purchase large quantities of a certain type of paper, print a few sheets to determine if the paper provides acceptable quality printing.
Be sure that your paper does not have tears, dust, wrinkles, or is curled, or has bent edges.
For best results with the HP Photo paper/HP Photo cartridge combination, scan your photographs at 100 or 150 dpi. If you scan them at a higher dpi, you won’t improve the print quality, and your photographs will take longer to print.
Printing in Best mode yields the most vivid colors. (If the slower printing speed is acceptable.)
Loading Paper Tips
General Tips for Loading Media Effectively
To obtain the best print quality and avoid getting media jammed in the paper feed rollers, always use paper and other media that conform to the product’s specifications. Refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”
Load only one media type at a time into the IN tray making sure the right edge of the media is aligned with the right edge of the IN tray.
Insert all paper, cards, envelopes, labels, transparencies and banner paper print-side-down into the IN tray of the printer. (See "Determining the Print Side of Media.”)
Never load more than the recommended amount of media into the IN tray at one time.
Always load index cards, postcards, and envelopes in portrait orientation (that is, where the paper is longer than wide when placed in the IN tray).
Always use print settings in the printer driver that match the media type, size, and orientation.
Before inserting a stack of media into the IN tray, always tap its edges on a flat surface to even it out.
Determining the Print Side of Media
Insert all paper, cards, envelopes, labels, transparencies and banner paper print-side down into the IN tray of the printer. Here are some tips for loading media print side down:
For plain paper, load the side identified by the paper’s packaging as the printside face down.
For letterhead paper, load the letterhead side down and facing the back of the paper tray.
For HP Premium Inkjet Paper, load face down the side identified on the packaging as the print side with the corner arrow facing the back of the paper tray.
For HP Premium Glossy Paper, load the glossy side down. For index cards or postcards, load the side designed to be written
upon face down. For envelopes, load the side you address face down For labels, load the paper side down (the slick side up). For HP Premium Transparency Film, load the rough side down
with the sensing strip facing the back of the paper tray. For HP Premium Banner Paper, load face down the side identified
on the packaging as the print side with the corner arrow facing the back of the paper tray.
Using the Single-Sheet Feeder
If your printer is equipped with a single-sheet feeder, the single-sheet feeder allows you to feed a single sheet of paper or other media into the printer without unloading the IN tray. The single-sheet feeder slides freely to the right and left to accommodate the width of the media you insert. Always use paper and other media that conform to the product’s Specifications. Refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”

For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP print cartridge or a refilled print cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer; print cartridge includes both toner cartridges and ink cartridges. However, if printer failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled print cartridge, HP will charge its standard time and materials charges to service the printer for the particular failure or damage.
4. If any software media product or print cartridge product proves defective during the applicable warranty period, and if the product is covered by HP’s warranty, the customer shall return the product for replacement.
5. If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in a hardware product which is covered by HP’s warranty, HP shall either repair or replace the product, at its option. Any replacement product may be either new or like-new, provided that it has functionality at least equal to that of the product being replaced.
6. If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective product which is covered by HP’s warranty, HP shall within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund the purchase price for the product, provided the customer returns the product.
7. Your warranty is valid in any country where this product is distributed by Hewlett-Packard. Contracts for additional services such as on-site service are available from any authorized HP service facility in countries where this product is distributed by HP or an authorized importer.
8. This limited Warranty Statement gives the customer specific legal rights. The customer may also have other legal rights which vary from state to state in the United States, from province to province in Canada, and from country to country elsewhere in the world.

Statement from limiting the statutory rights of a customer (e.g. Australia and the United Kingdom);
b. Otherwise restrict the ability of a manufacturer to make such
disclaimers or impose such limitations; or
c. Grant the customer additional warranty rights, specify the
duration of implied warranties which the manufacturer cannot disclaim, or not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts.
3. To the extent allowed by local law, the remedies provided in this Warranty Statement are the customer’s sole and exclusive remedies.

Printer Return Instructions
If the printer needs to be shipped, be sure it is packed in a protective carton. Hewlett-Packard recommends that the original shipping container be saved for this purpose. In-transit damage is not covered by the warranty. It is suggested that shipments are always insured.
When either a customer or reseller calls HP to arrange for service, the HP Corvallis Service Center will dispatch a premium carrier to pick up the product at the reseller or customer location. The printer will be delivered to HP, at HP’s expense, using second day delivery. The customer or reseller must still package the printer for shipment.
Once the printer is repaired, HP will ship it to the customer or reseller location using second day delivery.
You can help assure effective servicing of your customer's printer by following these guidelines:
Procedure:
1. Follow the troubleshooting instructions in this manual to make certain the malfunction is in the printer and not the result of an interface error or a malfunction in the computer or software. If possible, identify the defective area or function.
2. If you determine that repair is required, please provide the following with the printer when returning the printer for service:
a. Printout a copy of the “HP Printer Repair Sheet.” (For
information regarding printouts, see the note at the top of the HP Printer Repair Sheet.)
b. Determine the appropriate customer code from the Printer
Repair Feedback Information section which follows.
c. Fill out the repair sheet. Include specific information, such as
the configuration at the time of the malfunction, the type of interface cable, a description of the computer or host, and a description of the software application in use.
d. If purchased through a Hewlett-Packard reseller, include a
copy of the sales slip or other proof of purchase to establish the warranty coverage period.

If a printer fails during the warranty period, the customer should do the following:
1. Follow the troubleshooting procedures in this document or consult the HP FIRST facsimile assistance services.
2. If the customer is still unable to determine the cause of the failure, the customer should contact their local reseller or the European Customer Support Center.
Customer support representatives can answer your questions regarding the setup, configuration, installation, and operation of the printer. They can also troubleshoot and diagnose printer problems and, if necessary, can give instructions for getting the printer serviced and repaired.
If available for your country and language, phone numbers for HP FIRST and the European Customer Support Center are given in a separate document shipped with the printer. If additional information is needed, customers can call the reseller or the nearest HP Sales and Support Office.
If a printer fails after the warranty period:
1. Follow the troubleshooting procedures in this document or the printer user's guide.
2. If the customer is unable to determine the cause of the failure, the customer should contact their local reseller or the nearest HP Sales and Support Office for instructions on returning your printer for service and repair.

MS Windows Printing
Microsoft Windows 3.1 comes with printer drivers that work with HP DeskJet printers. However, the Microsoft Printer Drivers do not provide access to the many of the more advanced capabilities of HP DeskJet 600 printer.
Only the HP ColorSmart Printer Driver software, part of the HP Printing System for Windows, takes advantage of all the features of HP DeskJet 600 printer.
The HP ColorSmart Printer Driver software is compatible with Microsoft Windows 3.1. Access to the printer driver to change specific settings is available from each software application program. The steps to access the printer driver will vary depending on the software program. Generally, the printer driver is found under a “print” menu in the software program.
The user can also access the printer driver through the Microsoft Windows Printers control panel. The control panel allows the user to:
Select the default printer from a list of loaded printer drivers. Add Microsoft printer drivers. Remove unneeded printer drivers. Set various printer options (which may be superseded by the
printer settings selected in the software application program). Confirm the port which the printer is using.
To open the Printers control panel:
1. Double-click Main in the Program Manager.
2. Double-click Control Panel.
3. Double-click Printers.
The default printer is listed in the text box at the top of the dialog box. To select a different default printer, double-click a printer from the list of installed printers.
Although the Printers control panel provides access to various printer settings, like paper type and page orientation, these settings are overridden by settings made from within an application. The Printers control panel settings are used when an application does not specify certain defaults.
Because the user can connect their printer to either an LPT or COM port, it is important to make sure the proper port was selected to avoid problems. The steps below identify how to select/change a printer port from the control panel.
To select a port:
1. Open the Printers control panel.
2. Click Connect.
3. Select the port from the list.
The default printer name is followed by the name of the port it is connected to.

Optimizing Performance
The print speed and overall performance of the HP DeskJet 600 printer can be affected by several things:
The amount of RAM can determine how fast documents are sent to the printer. Increasing RAM can speed up this process as well as make the computer work more efficiently at other things besides printing.
The printer driver used to print documents can make a significant difference in the quality of the printed output. Make sure an up-to­date version of an HP printer driver designed specifically for the HP DeskJet 600 printer is installed. To check this:
1. Double-click the Printers icon in the Windows Control Panel.
2. Select the HP DeskJet 600 printer in the Installed Printers list.
3. Click Setup to check the version number. The version number is located in the title bar of the HP ColorSmart dialog box.
The size and complexity of the documents printed can make a difference in the printer's performance. Graphics are usually more complex - especially color graphics - and print more slowly than text.
The processing speed of the computer will determine how fast a document is sent to the printer. For example, a computer with a 486 processor runs faster than a computer with a 386 or a 286 processor.
Running numerous software programs at one time slows down printing; each open program uses RAM. Therefore, limit the number of programs or documents open at one time.
Screen fonts are stored in RAM, which means they use up memory that the printer may need in order to print. Delete screen fonts or printer fonts that are not needed.

DOS Printing
Printer Drivers Available
Since DOS applications are developed independently under different standards, each DOS application requires its own printer driver. Current software drivers for most HP DeskJet printers are available from the individual software manufacturers. A list of DOS software developer contact information is in the DOS Printing Guide, part of the User’s Guide Kit. Information on installing a DOS printer driver for a particular DOS application is supplied by the software manufacturer.
If there is no driver available for the DeskJet 600 printer, use a driver for a different HP DeskJet printer. In some cases, the substitute driver does not provide access to all of the DeskJet 600’s capabilities. The following table outlines usable drivers and their capabilities when used with the DeskJet
600.

DeskJet Control Panel for DOS
The DeskJet Control Panel for DOS is software that replaces the front panel switches found on older printers. The Control Panel for DOS does not replace printer drivers; it must be used along with DOS software printer drivers. When there is no specific DeskJet 600 printer driver available for an application, the Control Panel for DOS gives the user access to print settings and features not available through the DOS application. If settings are available in the DOS application printer driver and the Control Panel for DOS, the settings made in the DOS application usually override those made in the Control Panel for DOS.
The Control Panel for DOS also lets the user monitor the printer’s status, and clean and align the print cartridges.
Minimum System Requirements
DOS version 3.3 (or newer) An 80286 (or better) processor 2 MB of RAM to print in black or 4 MB of RAM to print in color
Installation
Before you install the DOS control panel:
1. Unpack the printer and set it up.
2. Make sure the computer and the printer are both turned on and connected with the proper cable.
To install the DOS control panel:
1. Insert disk containing the Control Panel for DOS software into the disk drive.
2. At the DOS prompt, type A:\Install (or B:\Install depending on the floppy drive configuration) and press Enter.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
After installing the software, the print cartridges need to be aligned before beginning any print jobs.
To align the print cartridges:
1. Type DJCP at the DOS prompt to open the stand-alone Control Panel for DOS.
2. Select Align Print Cartridges and follow the on-screen instructions.
Two Ways to Use the Control Panel
The DOS Control Panel can run either as a stand-alone application or as a memory resident application. To run the DOS Control Panel as a stand alone application: type DJCP at the DOS prompt.
The DOS Control Panel must be loaded into memory at start-up to work as a memory resident application.
To set up the Control Panel for DOS as a memory resident application:
1. Type DJCP at the DOS prompt to open the stand-alone DOS Control Panel.
2. Select More Settings.
3. Select Memory Resident Functions.
