Windows faster and easier then ever before. With the Microsoft Windows Printing System, your printer is

able to print faster than traditional approaches. As soon as the Microsoft Windows Printing System

accepts a document for printing, you can return to your application. You receive instant notification of

printer information and you can see the printer's status on your computer screen.

The BJC-610 offers exceptionally high print quality and fast print speed using both color and back inks.

Features and Benefits

The BJC-610 Color Bubble Jet Printer produces high quality printing by incorporating many useful

features.

Microsoft Windows Printing Software

The printer comes ready to run with the Microsoft Windows Printing System. This new software system

helps your computer and printer work together to print as fast as possible, and allows your computer to

actually tell you, as well as show you, what your printer is doing.

Excellent print quality and speed

The printer's high performance print head offers up to 720 by 720 dots per inch (dip) for high resolution

text and graphics with the Microsoft Windows Printing System, and up to 360 by 360 dpi with MS-DOS

application programs. Your printer offers both vibrant print quality and exceptional print speed: 300

characters per second (cps) in High Speed mode and 205 cps in High Quality Mode.

High quality ink

The ink cartridges employ high quality, light-resistant ink in both black and colors. The ink dries quickly

and looks great on plain paper.

Low cost color printing

With Canon's innovative ink system, each ink cartridge is separate. if you use one color more than others,

you can replace that cartridge only.

Simple maintenance

The Ink cartridges are simple to replace. The black ink cartridge is larger than the other color ink

cartridges, which allows you to use the printer as a monochrome printer without repeatedly replacing the

black ink cartridge.

Impressive color output

The printer produces vibrant colors on a wide variety of media, including plain paper, specially treated

paper, high gloss film, high resolution paper, fabric sheets, Bubble Jet (water-resistant) paper, envelopes,

and transparencies. It also has the ability to print on back print film, which can be shown on a lighted

panel.

Convenient paper handling

An automatic sheet feeder holds up to approximately 100 sheets of plain paper, 50 sheets of transparency

or back print film, or 15 envelopes.

and improve your print quality.

Compact desktop design

Ink Cartridges

Canon offers the following ink cartridges:

Canon Ink Cartridge BJI-201 Bk HC (black, high capacity)

Canon Ink Cartridge BJI-201 C (cyan)

Canon Ink Cartridge BJI-201 M (meganta)

Canon Ink Cartridge BJI-201 Y (yellow)

Print Media

Canon manufactures the following print media.

Canon Coated Paper LC-101

This coated paper is specially designed for your BJC-610 printer, which will produce sharp and vivid

color output on this high grade matte paper. The Coating used on this paper is a unique formula that

ensures full compatibility with your Canon color inks. Use this paper for your printer output that requires

crisp color rendering on a high quality, nonglossy paper. Letter and Legal sizes are available.

Canon Transparencies CF-102

These overhead clear transparencies (also called Over Head Projection or OHP film) are specially

designed for your BJC-610. Other overhead clear transparencies may cause problems in your Canon

color printer by not feeding correctly into the printer or by not allowing the ink to dry properly. Use

Canon clear transparencies to produce crisp and professional overhead presentations. Letter size is also

available.

Canon Back Print Film BF-102

This unique glossy paper allows you to print extremely high quality color output, such as required for

photographic images and graphics. The back printer film is capable of being viewed by rear illumination,

such as a light box, or as regular prints without the benefit of the light box. Back print film is a

mylar-based translucent sheet. When viewed by a light box, back print film provides a sharp, bright, and

vivid presentation of special items, such as photographs, portraits, and graphics. It is also great for trade

show displays and other special presentations when rear-illuminated. Letter size is available.
