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.
