DeskJet Control Panel for DOS
The DeskJet Control Panel for DOS is software that replaces the front panel switches found on older printers. The Control Panel for DOS does not replace printer drivers; it must be used along with DOS software printer drivers. When there is no specific DeskJet 600 printer driver available for an application, the Control Panel for DOS gives the user access to print settings and features not available through the DOS application. If settings are available in the DOS application printer driver and the Control Panel for DOS, the settings made in the DOS application usually override those made in the Control Panel for DOS.
The Control Panel for DOS also lets the user monitor the printer’s status, and clean and align the print cartridges.
