Using the Printer Safety
BJ Print Head and ink tanks
For safety always store BJ Print Head and ink
tanks out of the reach of small children.
If a child accidentally licks or
ingests any ink, consult a
physician immediately.
Never subject a BJ Print Head or ink tank to
shocks or excessive vibration.
Shaking could cause ink to leak
and stain clothing.
Never touch the print head or electrical
contacts on a BJ Print Head immediately after
removing it from the printer.
These metal parts become very
hot during printing and could
cause minor burns.
Using the printer near appliances
and fluorescent lamps
Allow at least 15 cm clearance between the
printer and another appliance or a fluorescent
lamp. Electrical noise generated by a
fluorescent lamp placed too close to the
printer could cause the printer to malfunction.

Printing photographs
Printing photographs
The BJC-8200 is designed to reproduce the highest quality reproduction of color in photographic
images, and in order to achieve this, some special settings are required in the printer driver. When
the printer driver is opened, it is usually set for printing on plain paper documents created with a
word processor or similar program. For special print jobs like printing a photograph on photo paper
or some other special media, special printer driver settings are required.
Canon provides a variety of special media, Photo Paper Pro PR-101, Glossy Photo Paper GP-301,
High Resolution Paper HR-101, and others, for special print jobs where superior reproduction of
color is required.
