1. PRODUCT OUTLINE

1.1 Product Outline

This is Canon’s first bubble-jet printer for use with a set top box (STB). The design is a complete departure from conventional printers geared for personal computers. The printer is designed to resemble an AV component to match the living room interior. It also has a MODE SELECTION switch, ink-low warning, and other functions which are required as a non-PC printer. The large-capacity ink cartridges also make ink cartridge replacements less frequent.

1.2 Features

1) The printer is connected to the TV via the STB to enable images from the Internet to be printed. It can also be used as a PC printer.

2) By using a paper cassette and the operation panel on the front of the printer, frontend operation is easy.

3) The printer uses three types of BJ cartridges: Black, color, and photo color. The black and color cartridges use large-capacity ink cartridges to make ink cartridge replacement less frequent. Black BJ cartridge BC-10 (optional): 128-nozzle head with detachable ink cartridge Color BJ cartridge BC-11e: 136-nozzle head (64-nozzles for Bk and 24

nozzles each for Y, M, and C) with detachable ink tank and ink-drop modulation technology

4) The remaining ink amount is calculated with the dot counter. An

INK-LOW

indicator

is also provided.

5) Bitmap fonts for the Internet are built-in for high-quality and quick text output.

4. INSTALLATION

For installation details, see the User’s Manual.

4.1 Installation Location

For optimum use, place the printer where there is enough space. The printer’s external dimensions are shown below.

4.2 Installation Procedure

To prevent an electric potential difference between the computer and printer, first connect the interface cable, then connect the AC plug into an AC power outlet.

4.2.1 Connecting the centronics interface cable

1) Make sure the printer and computer’s power is off.

2) Connect the interface cable to the printer’s interface connector. Lock the connection with the cable’s connector clips.

3) Connect the other end of the interface cable to the computer and lock the connection.

4.2.2 Connecting the USB interface cable

1) Connect the interface cable to the printer’s interface connector. Lock the connection with the cable’s connector clips. It is unnecessary to turn off the printer or computer before connecting cables. The cable can be connected while their powers are turned on.

2) Connect the other end of the interface cable to the computer and lock the connection.

4.2.3 Connecting to a power supply

1) Connect the AC plug of the power cable to an AC power outlet and the DC plug of the AC adapter to the printer.

2) Press the printer’s

POWER

button to turn on the printer. First, all the indicators

on the printer will light. Then the

POWER

indicator will light and the

BUSY

indicator will blink during the initialization operation. After the initialization ends, the

BUSY

indicator will turn off. If a BJ cartridge has not been installed, the

ERROR

indicator will light and the beeper will sound three times. The carriage will also move to the cartridge replacement position.
