Chapter 1

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Canon BJ-200ex

Bubble Jet Printer. We appreciate your choosing this

printer to meet your printing needs.

The BJ-200ex offers excellent print quality, fast print

speed, and trouble-free operation with the convenience of

compact size and low cost. We are certain you will be

satisfied with its advanced bubble jet technology.

This chapter introduces you to the features of your new

printer, lists the options and supplies you can purchase for

the printer, and describes Canon's customer support

procedures.

Features and Benefits

The BJ-200ex Bubble Jet Printer produces high quality

printing by incorporating many useful features.

Excellent Print Quality

The printer's high performance print head offers 720

(horizontal) by 300 (vertical) dots per inch (dpi) for high

resolution text and graphics. The printer produces excellent

grayscale quality when using Microsoft® Windows™

graphics applications through the BJ-200ex printer driver

for Windows.

Convenient Paper Handling

An automatic sheet feeder holds up to 100 sheets of plain

paper, 40 transparencies, or 15 envelopes.

Software Compatibility

Two resident printer control modes enable the printer to

work with a wide variety of software applications:

§BJ-10 mode emulates the IBM Proprinter X24E printer.

§Epson LQ mode emulates the Epson LQ-510 printer.

Three Print Modes/Speeds

The print modes allow you to choose between print quality

and speed.

§HQ(high quality) mode provides high quality at 204 characters

per second (cps).

§HS(high speed) mode provides draft quality printing at 248

cps.

§Smoothing mode refines your printout by polishing away the

jagged edges and ragged stair-stepping curves of characters

and graphics, and enables the printer to print both text and

graphics at 720 x 360 dpi.

Reduction Mode

The printer offers two reduction modes for printing

spreadsheets and other wide documents on regular paper. In

reduction mode, the printer reduces the output to two-thirds

or one-half of its full size.

High Quality Ink

The ink in the BC-02 ink cartridge is not easily affected by

light, dries quickly, and is smudge-resistant.

Automatic Capping System

To ensure trouble-free operation, the printer automatically

moves the print head to the home position and caps the

print head whenever the printer is inactive or set off-line.

Simple Maintenance

The replaceable ink cartridge contains both the ink and the

print head; when it runs out of ink, you simply replace it.

TrueType Fonts

The Canon TrueType™ Font Pack enhances your font

capability and improves your print quality.

Compact Desktop Design

The printer is lightweight (6.6 lb / 3.0 kg) and occupies a

minimum amount of desk space.

Quiet Printing

The nonimpact printing method offers quiet operation.

On-Line Documentation

A detailed Visual Guide makes learning about the printer

easy and fast by displaying helpful information on your

computer screen within the Microsoft Windows

environment. It includes detailed instructions for setting up

and using your printer as well as troubleshooting and

technical information.

§If you have lifted the printer's box using the built in handles,

press the cardboard handles toward the outside of the box

before trying to lift the printer out of the box.
