HP DeskJet 1600C
Printer
The DeskJet 1600C printer is a follow-on to the DeskJet
1200C. It has 600 x 600 dpi black text resolution (plus TES,
which is similar to RET) and 300-dpi color resolution. Like
the 1200C, the DeskJet 1600C is font- and language-
compatible with the latest LaserJet 4 series printers. The
DeskJet 1200C and 1600C contain most of the same PCL 5
color features as the Color LaserJet (described in the PCL 5
Color Technical Reference Manual), with some exceptions
and additions (see Table 1-1). DeskJet 1200C and 1600C
drivers should work on the Color LaserJet, but not vice
versa. Changes from the DeskJet 1200C are listed below.
Additional features include:
Simplified Control Panel. The IEEE-P1284 ECP port
described below allows front-panel simplification and the
elimination of DIP switches. The DeskJet 1600C control
panel is similar to that of the LaserJet 4L, with one
button and four LED indicators.
