Product Performance Specifications

The HP DeskJet 600 prints a 600x300 dot size. Dots are placed on a 600x300 grid. Depletion is used to remove approximately 10% of the dots to prevent laying too much ink on the page.

In the Best mode, the paper advances at 600 DPI increments and places dots on a true 600x600 grid. Depletion in the Best mode removes approximately 43% of the dots.

To conserve memory, DOS fonts are stored at 300x300. REt is used to convert them to 600x300.

When printing from MS Windows, resolution determinations are made in the PC and then sent to the printer.
