Printing from MS-DOS
When you print from MS-DOS programs, you can
control print settings, such as print quality, page
orientation, paper size, and so on, by using the
printer driver for the HP DeskJet 690C Series
printer that comes with your software program.
(A printer driver is a program that allows you to
control print settings from within your word
processor, spreadsheet, or other software program.)
However, many software manufacturers might not
have developed a printer driver specifically for the
HP DeskJet 690C Series printers. In that case, you
can use an alternate printer driver as listed below,
or use the HP DeskJet Control Panel for MS-DOS
for improved printer control.
Using the HP DeskJet Control
Panel for MS-DOS
Use the HP DeskJet Control Panel to choose print
settings that might not be available from some
MS-DOS programs, or if you can’t get a printer
driver that works with your software program.
Installing the HP DeskJet
Control Panel
Before you install the HP DeskJet Control Panel,
make sure you have followed all the steps in the
setup guide.
ᕡ
Turn on your computer and your printer.
ᕢ
Put Installation Disk #3 into your computer’s
disk drive.
ᕣ
At the MS-DOS command line (C:\>), type
A:\INSTALL and press ENTER.
If your disk drive is different than “A”, substitute
the correct letter for “A”.
ᕤ
Follow the instructions on the screen.
Note If a message indicates that the installation of
the Control Panel was unsuccessful, try the
installation again. If it’s still unsuccessful, or if
the Control Panel software is damaged or
missing, contact your authorized HP dealer.
Cleaning the print cartridges
Clean the print cartridges when you notice that
lines or dots are missing from your printed text
and graphics. However, don’t clean them
unnecessarily as this wastes ink and shortens the
print cartridge life.

At the MS-DOS command line, type DJCP and
press ENTER.
The Control Panel appears.
ᕢ
Click Clean Print Cartridge, then follow the
instructions on the screen.
Aligning the print cartridges
Align the print cartridges when you notice that color
ink does not properly line up with black ink.
ᕡ
At the MS-DOS command line, type DJCP and
press ENTER.
The Control Panel appears.
ᕢ
Click Align Print Cartridge, then follow the
instructions on the screen.
