Interface Specifications
HP DeskJet 870C series printers have two interface connectors to support both DOS and Macintosh computers. The 36-pin Centronics style connector is used with DOS/MS Windows based computers. The 8-pin mini-circular DIN connector is used with Macintosh computers.
Note that only one connector can be active at a time. At power-up, the first connector that senses active incoming data will be the dedicated I/O port. The other connector will remain inactive.

Product Performance Specifications
HP DeskJet 870C series printers print a true 600 DPI dot size. In the Normal mode, 300x300 data is sent which the printer REts to 600x600. This happens very quickly because the conversion uses a hard-coded table to convert to 600x600 rather than an on-the-fly algorithm.
In the Best mode, 600x600 data is sent to the printer and used directly. Although somewhat slower than the Normal mode, this approach produces the highest quality.
In either case, internal fonts are stored as outlines which are rendered directly to 600x600 or 300x300 depending upon print mode.

quality when only text and lines are present on the page. The printer uses this mode on a page­by-page basis if the following are true:
All text (of any color) is less than 24 pt. All lines (of any color) are less than 4 pt. (including framed objects) There are no more than 75 lines on the page Only lines and text occur on the page.

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 300 nozzles (192 nozzles on the color print cartridge). 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 12,000 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.
Page 38
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.
Page 39
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. Do not unplug the printer without turning the
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”.
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 850 Printer, opening the access door
automatically moves the print cartridge to the center of the mechanism for easy access.
Page 40
Modifying or Refilling Print Cartridges
See “Print Cartridge Information/General/Refilling Policy”.
Page 41
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
If the print cartridge is in a box, read the “Use Before” date printed on the box.
Page 42
Method 2 - Read the Code on the Print Cartridge
1. Determine the manufacturing date from the code printed on the print
cartridge.
51641A (Color)
51645A (Black)
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.

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.

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.
Page 52
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
Page 53
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.
Page 55
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.
Page 57
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.”

Software 90 days Print Cartridges 90 days Printer and Peripheral Hardware 1 Year
otherwise stated in the printer’s

Extent of Limited Warranty
1. Hewlett-Packard (HP) warrants to the end user customer that HP products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, for a specified time after the date of purchase by the customer. The duration of this limited warranty is stated above. Certain additional conditions and limitations of HP’s warranty are stated in the user’s guide. Those conditions and limitations include:
a. For software products, the warranty applies only to the media
upon which the product is recorded; and
b. HP does not warrant the operation of any product to be
uninterrupted or error free.
Page 60
H P D e s k J e t a n d D e s k W r i t e r P r i n t e r s W a r r a n t y I n f o r m a t i o n

including duty cycle abuse or use of a mechanical switchbox
without a designated surge protector; e. Use of non-supported printing media or memory boards; or f. Improper site preparation or maintenance.
3. 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.

For example, some states in the United States, as well as some governments outside the United States (including provinces in Canada), may:
a. Preclude the disclaimers and limitations in this Warranty
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.

MS Windows Printing
The HP DeskJet 870C series printer drivers are compatible with MS Windows 3.x and MS Windows 95.
Note
Access to the printer driver to change specific settings is available from within each software application program. Changing settings within the software application is recommended since settings made in this way can override settings made in the Printers control panel.
Steps to access the printer driver vary depending upon the software application. Generally, the printer driver is accessed from the “File, Print” or ” File, Print Setup” in the software program.
You can also access the printer driver through MS Windows’ Printers control panel to change default settings. The Printers control panel allows you to:
Only a printer driver containing the designation “870C” should be used with HP DeskJet 870C series printers. Other HP DeskJet or DeskWriter printer drivers should not be used.
Select the default printer from the list of available printer drivers. Add 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.
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.

Page 98
ColorSmart: Automatic vs. Manual Printing
In most cases the best print output is obtained by choosing Automatic ColorSmart printing. In automatic mode, the printer driver analyzes each element in a document to provide the best color output.
If the color output obtained using the Automatic ColorSmart option is not satisfactory, use the Manual option.
The Manual ColorSmart Options dialog box provides control over Intensity, Color Control, and Halftoning.
The Intensity slider bar adjusts the amount of ink applied to the paper— Darker means more ink, Lighter means less ink.
Color Control offers two options: Vivid (Color) and Match (Screen). To print the document so it looks like it looks on the computer screen, choose Match. To make the colors of the printed output brighter and more vivid than they appear on the screen, choose Vivid.
Halftoning describes how the driver places individual drops of ink on the page to reproduce different shades of the same color. Scatter halftoning, the default setting, usually gives the best results. Pattern halftoning applies different patterns of dots for different shades of a color.
ColorSmart Options Dialog Box
Page 99
Grayscale Printing
ColorSmart also allows printing color documents in monochrome with discernible shades of gray. Pages with grayscale images can be photocopied or faxed on a monochrome device and retain their full meaning and impact.
Grayscale printing is also faster than color printing and is ideal for printing draft copies.
