Additional Fonts in Region Specific Printers

Some HP DeskJet 540 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 540 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 540 printer user’s
documentation, or to “Printer Driver Information/MS Windows.”

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.
