HP DeskJet Portable old and new models
As shown in the table above, there are two models of the HP DeskJet Portable, black-only printer. The old
model, C2614A, is no longer available. The new model, C2624A, is bundled with a sheet feeder and sold
only in the Asia Pacific. There are some minor hardware and firmware differences between these two
models. This guide reveals these differences in footnotes to the general information on the HP DeskJet
300 Series printer family. You can identify these two different printer models by the model number
printed on the serial number label in the printer’s battery compartment. This label has C2614A for the old
model and C2624A for the new model.

Similarities and Differences
Table 1-3 discusses similarities and differences between the portable HP DeskJet 300 Series printer
family and the desktop HP DeskJet 500 Series printer family.
Table 1-3. Similarities to and Differences from Non-Portable HP DeskJet Family Printers
SimilaritiesDifferences
Black Print Cartridge Compatibility
The DeskJet 300 printers can use the same black print
cartridge, the 51633A, as other DeskJet family printers.
Colour Print Cartridges
For printing in color , the DeskJet 340, 320 and 310 can use the
specially designed color print cartridge 51625A.
The DeskJet 500C, 550C and 560C printers use the same color
print cartridge.
Centronics Parallel Interface
The DeskJet 300 Series printers have the same Centronics
parallel interface capabilities as other DeskJet family
printers.
Repair Strategy
The DeskJet 300 Series printers are supported on a
centralized repair program. Support personnel determine if
the printer has a hardware problem and ship the printer to a
centralized repair location for repair.
HP PCL Level 3 Programming Language Support
The DeskJet 300 Series printers are compatible with all
level 3 commands in the HP PCL programming language.
However, they do not support all the extensions of other HP
DeskJet family printers.
Large Selection of Fonts
The DeskJet 300 Series printers support a wide selection of
printer fonts comparable to the fonts available for other
DeskJet printers.
Portability
The DeskJet 300 Series printers are the only printers in the
DeskJet printer family designed specifically for portability.
This design includes an optional sheet feeder that folds flat
for transportation.
Color Printing
The DeskJet 340, 320 and 310 printers, like the DeskJet 500C,
can produce full-page 300 dpi color graphics but cannot print
color ASCII text.
The DeskJet 310, 320 and 340 printers, like the DeskJet 500C,
can use the color print cartridge to produce “composite
black” on pages with color.
The DeskJet 550C, 560C, 1200C, and 1200/PS are the only
printers in the DeskJet printer family that can combine black
from a black print cartridge on a page with color from a color
print cartridge without changing cartridges.
High Capacity Print Cartridge Not Recommended for the
DeskJet 300 Series Printers
The high capacity print cartridge 51626A does not transport
well, particularly at higher altitudes. It is not recommended
for DeskJet 300 Series printers.
No RS-232-C Serial Interface
The DeskJet 300 Series printers do not have an RS-232-C
serial interface.
Different Expansion Slots
The DeskJet 300 Series printers are not compatible with the
optional plug-in cartridges designed for other HP DeskJet
family printers. They have a single card slot for a PCMCIA
Type 1.0 card.
Multi-voltage Power Adapter
The DeskJet 300 Series printers are not compatible with the
power modules for desktop DeskJet family printers. The
DeskJet 300 Series uses a multi-voltage power adapter,
universal rapid recharger, and battery pack incompatible
with all other DeskJet family printers.
No Downloaded Fonts
The DeskJet 300 Series printers do not support downloaded
fonts. The DeskJet 500 Series printers can use downloaded
fonts.
Media Support
The DeskJet 300 Series printers do not support printing on
envelopes. The DeskJet 500 Series printers can print on
envelopes.
Product Information 1-7

Table 1-4. Similarities and Differences Between the HP DeskJet 300 Series Printers
SimilaritiesDifferences
General Performance
The DeskJet 300 Series family are compact highperformance printers that can be moved easily when
needed. They can produce output of quality comparable to
that of desktop DeskJets and can print about as fast.
Portability
The DeskJet 300 Series are the only printers in the DeskJet
family designed for portability on demand. They are light and
convenient to carry, and can be folded flat for transportation
with the same optional sheet feeder. In addition, these
printers are not chained to AC receptacles and extension
cords — they can be run from an optional camcorder-type
battery pack.
51633A/51633M Black Print Cartridge Compatibility
DeskJet 300 Series printers use the same black print
cartridge: the 51633A or 51633M. The high capacity black
print cartridge 51626A is not recommended for use with
these printers.
Centronics Parallel Interface
DeskJet 300 Series printers have the same Centronics
parallel interface capabilities as other DeskJet family
printers.
No RS-232-C Serial Interface
These printers do not have an RS-232-C serial interface.
Powering the Printer
All DeskJet 300 Series printers work with
the multi-voltage
power adapter . They can also run from battery power or from
an optional universal rapid recharger.
Same Card Slot
1
All DeskJet 300 Series printers except the DeskJet 340 have
a single card slot for a PCMCIA Type 1.0 card.
Envelopes Not Supported
None of these printers support printing on envelopes.
Repair Strategy
All of the DeskJet 300 Series printers are supported on a
centralized repair program. Support personnel determine
whether the printer has a hardware problem and ship the
printer to a centralized location for repair.
HP PCL Level 3 Programming Language Support
All these printers are compatible with all level 3 commands
in the HP PCL programming language. However, they do not
support all the extensions of other DeskJet family printers.
Warranty
All of the DeskJet 300 Series printers have the same one year
warranty.
Color Printing
The DeskJet 340, 320 and 310 printers can produce, with the
optional Color Kit, full-page color graphics. The DeskJet
Portable cannot. None of these printers can print color ASCII
text. (The HP DeskJet 320 and 340 come with the HP
ColorSmart printer driver which produce vibrant colors at the
touch of a button.)
Color Print Cartridges
For printing in color, the DeskJet 340, 320 and 310 printers
can use the color print cartridge 51625A. The DeskJet
Portable uses the 51633A black print cartridge.
Different AC Power Devices Included
The DeskJet 340, 320 and 310 printers are shipped with a
small, light, automatic-switching worldwide power adapter
and a country-specific power cord. The DeskJet
Portable may be shipped with a country-specific power
module with a permanently attached power cord. This power
module is not recommended for use with other DeskJet
Series printers.
Media Support
The DeskJet 340, 320 and 310 printers permit users to load
transparencies from the sheet feeder. Users can also hand
feed the transparencies. The DeskJet Portable requires that
users hand feed transparencies one at a time.
Output Resolution
The DeskJet 340 and 320 have 600 by 300 addressable
rasterpoints per inch black output resolution. It also makes
use of HP’ s REt (Resolution Enhancement technology). REt
provides curve smoothing to enhance print quality.
The DeskJet 310 and the DeskJet Portable only support 300
by 300 dpi.
Mac Adapter Cable
The Deskjet 340 printer permits users to connect it a
Macintosh computer using a special Mac adapter cable.
1. All these printers can print demonstrations using a PCMCIA card that fits into the printer’s card slot. The DeskJet 310, and 320
should be able to print from the U.S. Demo card designed for the card slot of the DeskJet Portable, but not from the Europe Demo
card. DeskJet Portable localized font cards also work with the DeskJet 310 and 320 .
1-8 Product Information

Portable printers may have country-specific power modules with a permanently attached power cord;
others will have the same worldwide power adapter as the HP DeskJet 340, 320 and 310. When replacing
