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.

program, and document complexity.

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
