Additional Fonts in Region Specific Printers

Some HP DeskJet 690C 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.

Product Performance Specifications

HP DeskJet 690C series printers print 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.

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.

Identifying the Expiration Date

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

2184903

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.

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.

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.

Possible Causes for Short Print Cartridge Life (Cont.)

Cause Reason

Printer was unplugged with the print cartridge out of its home position

Print cartridge may need to be restored.

Excessive use of the print cartridge cleaning routine.

Print cartridge stored outside of the printer.

Print cartridge has been refilled.

The print cartridge was prematurely removed from its sealed container.

Estimate of pages printed with the print cartridge is Incorrect.

The print cartridge is faulty. Replace the print cartridge. If there becomes a pattern of faulty

The printer has a hardware problem.

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.

print cartridges, the printer may be causing the print cartridges to fail. In this case, return the printer for repair and indicate the history of the faulty print cartridges.

The service station may be faulty, or the printer may be damaging the print cartridges. If the problem recurs with the printer, return the printer for repair and indicate the history of the faulty print cartridges.

Most of the causes for short black print cartridge life also apply to the color print cartridge. Review the other possible causes in this table.

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.”

Sales authorized resellers should call (800) 544-9976 to arrange for repair. Service authorized resellers should call (503) 750-2035.

Customers can contact Hewlett-Packard directly by calling HP Customer Support Center at (208) 323-2551. They will verify that the printer is in need of repair and transfer the customer to the HP-Corvallis Repair Center. If packaging materials are needed, call the HP Resellers Response Line at (800) 544-9976.

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.

In the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and the Netherlands

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.

Notes
