1. FEATURES

1.1 Overview

This product is a G3 transreceiving facsimile based on the ITU-T recommendations. It can be used in telephone networks.

Picture Quality Color Printer

High quality printing can be accomplished with the Canon Bubble Jet (BJ) method using the maximum 2400dpi × 1200dpi resolution. Various kinds of media can be printed with the high speed of a maximum 17 pages per minute. The printing paper tray can hold up to 100 sheets of plain paper, 30 sheets of transparencies film, or 10 envelopes.

Plain paper fax which can transmit/receive in color *

Conforming to ITU-T recommendations, this fax is able to transmit/receive in color. Due to containing extremely high-speed 33.6kbps modems, transmission time can be shortened. Pictures and photographs can both be send and received clearly by UHQ (Ultra High quality), Canon’s vivid image processing technology. Up to 30 letter, A4 and legal size sheets, can be set in the ADF *1. 9 one-touch dial entries and 100 speed dial entries can be registered, and group dial and broadcasting transmission can also be done. When paper and ink run out, the data is saved to memory, so there is no worry. When a externalphone is attached, fax communication and normal telephone reception are possible due to FAX/TEL switching.

Out-of-Ink Function

This machine has a function which detects when ink has run out. It also detects when the cartridges of machines equipped with color communications are out of ink. The presence/absence of ink in the ink chamber is detected by reflecting ink sensor.

Copy Function

This machine can be used as a 1200dpi × 1200dpi high resolution full color copier. With a monochrome document (including half-tone), up to 99 pages can be copied at one time at the speed of a maximum of 17 pages/minute.

Full Color & 256 Gradation Grayscale Scanner

Using graphics or OCR software which conforms to the TWAIN standard, full color and 256-gradation grayscale images with a quality of 40 ~ 9600 dpi can be read into a computer.

PC Fax

*1 SmartBase MPC600F only

By connecting this machine to a computer, a fax can be transmitted from the included MultiPASS Suite or from a Windows application, and a received image can be saved to the computer as-is without printing it out.

3.3.2 Print media Description of print media

■■

■ Plain Paper

■■

The machine supports A5-, A4-, B5-, letter-, and legal-size paper in portrait orientation. You can use regular copier paper, cotton bond paper, or typical letterhead. Your machine does not require special ink jet paper. Always use paper without curls, folds, staples, or damaged edges. Look at the label on the package to see if the paper has a preferred side for printing.

■■

■ Envelopes

■■

The machine can print on European DL and U.S. Commercial No. 10 envelopes. You may be able to load other sizes, but Canon cannot guarantee consistent performance on these. Do not use the following types of envelopes since they may cause problems:

• Envelopes with windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, and double flaps.

• Envelopes made with special coated paper or deeply embossed paper.

• Envelopes with peel-off sealing strips.

• Envelopes with letters enclosed.

■■

■ Glossy Photo Paper GP-301

■■

A high gloss, thick paper that produces the look and feel of a photograph.

■■

■ Banner Paper BP-101

■■

Specifically designed for printing one continuous sheet in a banner format. The connected sheets are divided by perforations and you can print from two to six sheets at a time.

■■

■ High Resolution Paper HR-101/HR-101N

■■

Designed to produce near-photographic quality print output with sharp and vivid graphics.

■■

■ Bubble Jet Paper LC-301

■■

Developed for high quality printing with minimal or no smearing when in contact with water or damp surfaces. This specially coated paper produces bright and vivid colours and stands up to normal office highlighters.

■■

■ Transparencies CF-102

■■

Produce excellent contrast, sharpness, and colour, creating crisp and professional overhead presentations. Do not use normal transparencies in the machine as they do not absorb ink and may cause ink to run.

■■

■ High Gloss Photo Film HG-201

■■

A bright white finish film that lends striking visual power to charts, graphs, and photographic images. It creates a sharper and more vivid colour output than is possible with coated paper.

■■

■ Glossy Photo Cards FM-101

■■

Made from the same stock as Glossy Photo Paper, these cards allow you to print images over the entire area of the card. Print the image so that it extends beyond the perforations and then trim off the unwanted white margins.
