Quick Start Guide

The Quick Start Guide summarises the steps for setting up the printer and installing the Windows printer driver. If you are familiar with computers and printers, follow the steps in this illustrated guide to get set up as quickly as possible.

Features and benefits

This section summarises the features and benefits of the BJC-50.

Compact portable design

The printer’s extremely compact design and light weight allow it to fit easily into a briefcase. Despite its small size the printer has full color printing capability on plain paper and a variety of other media. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack allows you to operate the printer without connecting the AC adapter. The battery pack will print up to 100 pages of normal black text at 1,500 characters per page.

Excellent print quality and speed in both color and black and white

With the Windows Printer Driver, your printer can print color at 720 x 360 dpi (horizontal x vertical) resolution. In addition, the new Color BJ Cartridge BC-11e can generate two sizes of ink droplets. This feature delivers superior print quality, especially with graphic images.

igh quality ink

The BJ Cartridges contain high quality inks. The Black BJ Cartridge BC- 10 is used for black-and-white printing and the Color BJ Cartridge BC-11e is used for color printing. An advanced ink formula eliminates many problems common to ink jet printers. These inks are not easily affected by light. They dry quickly, look great on plain paper, and are extremely smudge-resistant.

Quiet Printing

The BJC-50’s non-impact printing operates quietly.

Simple Maintenance

The BJC-50 uses removable print head units so it needs little maintenance. The Color BJ Cartridge BC-i le has three main parts: a color ink cartridge, a black ink cartridge, and a print head unit. The Black BJ Cartridge BC-10 has two main parts: one black ink cartridge and a print head unit.

Wireless Connection

The BJC-50 has a built-in infra-red IrDA interface which enables a wireless interface with a suitably equipped computer. If your computer has an IrDA interface, this gives improved portability.

Scanner feature

By switching the black or color BJ Cartridge with the optional Color Image Scanner Cartridge IS12, you can turn the printer into a color image scanner.

Close the front cover.

FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES WHEN STORING AND HANDLING THE BATTERY PACK:

A battery pack is not charged when purchased. You must charge the battery pack for about 4 to 6

hours for it to reach full charge. For best results, use the battery pack at room temperature. At low temperatures the capacity of the

battery pack is diminished and it will print fewer sheets between recharging sessions. Never attempt to recharge the battery pack with any device other than the Universal AC Adapter

AD-360U supplied with this printer. To avoid personal injury from an explosion, never expose the battery pack to an open flame and

never attempt to incinerate an old battery pack. Used battery packs should be disposed of according to environmental regulations in your country.

For details, contact your Canon Authorised Dealer or Canon representative. To avoid damaging the contacts on the corner of the battery pack, avoid touching them with any

metal object like a tool, jewellery, the surface of a metal table, etc. Damaged contacts could cause leaking and serious burns. To avoid personal injury from corrosive liquids, never attempt to. disassemble the battery pack.

If any liquid from a leaking or broken battery pack gets into your eyes, flush your eyes immediately

with clean water and contact a physician. Never attempt to connect the battery pack directly to mains (house) current or to a cigarette lighter

socket in an automobile. Never attempt to use this battery pack for any purpose other than as a power source for this printer.

Never store a battery pack in a location above room temperature.

Remove the battery pack immediately and contact your Canon Authorised Dealer or Canon

Representative if the battery pack shows any signs of warping, releasing a strange odour, leaking fluid, or overheating. However, do not be concerned if the battery pack feels slightly warm during

recharging; this is perfectly normal. If you intend to store the printer for a prolonged period (3 months or more), remove the battery

pack. Store the printer and battery pack in a dust-free location away from direct sunlight. Always handle the battery pack with care to avoid dropping it and damaging its casing and

contacts.

Connecting the printer to your computer

This printer is equipped with two interfaces. In addition to a parallel interface, the printer also has a built-in IrDA interface for wireless connection to a host computer equipped with an IrDA interface.

Connecting the parallel interface

A parallel interface port is provided for connection to IBM compatible PC computers.

Follow the procedure below to connect the printer to the host computer with the BIFC-50 printer cable.

To connect this printer to a computer via the parallel interface ports, you must use the Canon Printer Cable BIFC-50 provided with this printer.

Make sure the printer and computer are switched off.

Connect the small end of the BIFC-50 printer cable to the parallel interface connector on the left

side of the printer. Carefully match the shape of the small D-connectors on the end of the cable with the connector on the printer then push gently to connect the cable to the printer.

Connect the large end of the BIFC-50 printer cable to the back of the computer. Turn the screws on

both sides of the connector to fasten it securely.

Setting up the IrDA wireless interface

This printer is equipped with an IrDA 1.0 compatible infra-red wireless communication interface port (115.2 kbps). The IrDA interface is very popular among notebook or laptop computer users because no cable connection between the printer and computer is required.

In order to use the IrDA wireless interface, your computer must be equipped with an IrDA interface and have an Microsoft IR Comm Driver (infra-red driver) Ver. 2.0 for Windows 95 installed. If you need assistance or more information about these items, contact your local supplier. IrDA can be used only with Windows 95.

Even if your computer has an IrDA interface port, you still may not be able to use the Microsoft IR Comm Driver Ver. 2.0. To determine whether your computer IrDA interface supports Microsoft IR Comm Driver Ver. 2.0, contact the Help Desk of your computer manufacturer.

Follow this procedure to set up the printer for data transfer via the IrDA interface

The printer IrDA interface is on the left side of the printer, below the

parallel interface connector.

Locate the IrDA interface on the computer. Arrange the printer so the

IrDA interface ports are facing one another.

The IrDA interface ports must face one another and be approximately level, within a range of 15 degrees left or right, 15 degrees up or down and not more than 1 metre (3 ft.) apart.

The following conditions may reduce the reception range of the IrDA interface.

If another IrDA device is attached.

If another infra-red device, like a set of wireless headphones or a remote controller, for example, is

broadcasting in the same area. If the IrDA port is exposed to sunlight, fluorescent light, or any other strong light source like a

large torch. If the IrDA port is not clean. Clean it with a soft, dry cloth if the port is smudged or dirty.

Make sure the computer is set up for IrDA operation.

To use IrDA successfully, make sure the following conditions are satisfied:

You must use Windows 95.

Make sure the infra-red driver Microsoft IR Comm Driver Ver. 2.0 has been installed.

Make sure a COM port has been selected for IrDA with the Printer Wizard.

Make sure the BJC-50 is selected as the default printer with the BJC-5O printer driver.

Only the Microsoft IR Comm Driver Ver. 2.0 can be used as the IrDA driver for the BJC-

50. Other IrDA drivers cannot be used. The IrDA interface cannot detect the printer status and reset the printer. If communication

between the printer and computer is inteffupted and the print job is stopped, the printer is initialised automatically. (The buffer memory of the printer is cleared and the paper is ejected.)

Attaching the AC adapter

Read the following precautions before attaching the AC adapter.

Use only the Universal AC Adapter AD-360U supplied with the printer.

Always use the AC adapter indoors, never outdoors.

In case of trouble (smoke, odd smells, etc.), unplug the AC adapter immediately.

Do not place anything in front of your power outlet that may obstruct your access to the power

supply or put pressure on the AC adapter or its cord. When unplugging the AC adapter, always remove it by pulling the connector, never by pulling the

cord. Do not unplug the AC adapter until you have switched off the printer. After you switch off the
