Additional Symbol Sets and Fonts

For some languages additional symbol sets and fonts are included with the HP DeskJet 890C printer on a separate disk. This “Regional Font Support” disk contains custom files for use with the HP DeskJet Control panel for DOS, allowing access to special character sets.

■ARB = Arabic

■CYR = Cyrillic

■GRK = Greek

■HBR = Hebrew

■THA = Thai

Installing a Special Symbol or Font

To install the appropriate character set file on your computer:

1First install the printer software as described in the setup card.

2Put the Regional Font Support disk into your computer’s floppy disk drive.

3From the DOS prompt on your hard disk drive (usually the C:\ drive), type the drive designator for your floppy drive, followed by “DIR”, then press the Enter key to display the subdirectories on the Regional Font Support disk. For example, type:

C:\> A:\DIR

and then press the Enter key.

4Copy the appropriate SYMSETS.DAT file from the subdirectory for the language of your printer to your \DESKJET directory. For example, to copy the file for the Cyrillic language, type:
