1.2 Features

This printer differs from the BJC-6100 in the following ways:

1. Supported paper size has increased from A4 to A3

2. Automatic Form Alignment Function (improves skew control) n/a→built-in

For details, refer to

Part 5: REFERENCE

(Page 5-20).

Other functions remain commonly shared with the BJC-6100, as follows.

• Laser-printer quality using pigment black ink

• Dual-cartridge system High quality printing at high speed from a combination of the Black and Color cartridges or the Color and Photo cartridges

Black BJ cartridge: Drop modulation, replaceable ink tank (pigment black), 160

nozzle head

Color BJ cartridge: Drop modulation, individually replaceable ink tanks (yellow,

magenta and cyan), 144 in-line nozzle head (48 nozzles for each of three colors)

Photo BJ cartridge: Drop modulation, individually replaceable ink tanks (dye black,

photo-magenta and photo-cyan), 144 in-line nozzle head (48 nozzles for each of three colors)

• Individually replaceable ink tanks for high cost performance Black ink tanks: Pigment black ink tank Color ink tanks: Yellow, magenta, and cyan ink tanks Photo ink tanks: Dye black, magenta, and cyan ink tanks Ink-out detection, and translucent ink tanks for easier ink level checking

• High speed printing (9.0 PPM black printing or 6.0 PPM color printing in HS mode) 1440 x 720 dpi high resolution printing

• Automatic printing position adjustment Ensures accurate printing position regardless of cartridges being used or carriage movement direction

• Supports a wide variety of print media

• Blue Angel compliant

• USB and IEEE 1284 compatible 8-bit parallel interfaces.
