What's different between print resolution 600X600X4dpi then 2400X600dpi, and why don't they just say is 1440000dpi??

There is some flim-flammery going on here.
Print resolution is in dots/inch, and the horizontal dots/inch does not have to match the vertical dots/inch. so you need two numbers, not one, not three. Any multipliers are advertising hype of some sort.
The two numbers describe a 1-inch box divided into so many pixels by so many pixels.
1440000dpi would be less than truthful, as neither the horizontal nor the vertical resolution is that good.

OK it looks like it's a mix of the image size (###x###) and the resolution (###dpi). Printers can't really print more fine a resolution than 300dpi that you'd notice any difference if it were higher than that. The image size or dimensions of what you are going to print would be the two numbers with a x between them.
