1.2 Features

1) Three types of BJ cartridges are available.

· Pigment ink is adopted for the black cartridge and color cartridge, realizing modulated, high-density text printing.

· High-quality printing, up to 1440 × 720 dpi, is achieved by drop modulation technology adopted for the Black, Color, and Photo BJ cartridges.

· Separate BJ cartridges and ink tanks for all colors makes lower running costs possible. Black BJ Cartridge (optional): 160 nozzles

Separate ink tank (Pigment Black)

Color BJ Cartridge: 192 nozzles, Bk, C, M, Y (48 nozzles×4) in a vertical

line Separate ink tanks for all colors (Pigment Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow)

Photo-Color BJ Cartridge:

192 nozzles, PBk, PC, PM, Y (48 nozzles×4) in a

(optional) vertical line

Separate ink tanks for all colors (Dye Photo-Black, Photo-Cyan, Photo-Magenta, and Yellow)

2) Ink-out detection function with both optical and dot-count methods; transparent ink tanks enable visible confirmation.

3) USB and IEEE 1284 compatible 8-bit parallel interfaces.

4) Two buttons (

POWER, RESUME

), cover sensor, two-color LEDs (green/orange), with

no beeper.

5) Optional scanner cartridge with maximum readout resolution of 720×720 dpi also available.

4. INSTALLATION

Refer to the User's Manual for detailed installation procedures.

4.1 Installation Location

Allow enough space for the printer to be used with ease. Refer to the diagram below for the printer's external dimensions for installation.

4.2 Setup Procedures

In order to prevent the potential difference between the computer and the printer, interface cables should be connected prior to connecting the AC power plug to the AC outlet.
