Printing with ImageBrowser

Printing with ImageBrowser

ImageBrowser enables you to import image data captured with digital cameras or scanners into a
computer and produce photo-quality printouts in a quick and easy fashion. Using ImageBrowser
with a Canon BJ printer and a scanner or digital camera, you can enjoy superb-quality photo prints.

Custom Layout Printing

You can quickly reorganize the selected images. The
trimming and text insertion tasks are also easy.

Index Printing

You can print a photo index that contains thumbnails
automatically arranged in a suitable layout for the
selected thumbnail size (large, medium, or small).

4

Printing with ImageBrowser

Fixed Photo Size Printing Tiled Photo Printing (Borderless Printing)

You can print images in the specified photo size.

You can print images with no margins around each
image, so that a single image is printed borderless along
the paper edges and multiple images are arranged like
tiles with no space between them (available with BJ
printers that support the borderless printing feature).

5

Canon Perforated Paper Printing

You can easily make your images fit in a sheet of Canon
perforated paper.

cameras or scanners.

• ImageBrowser

ImageBrowser allows you to display a list of thumbnails (images stored in the internal memory
card), import them to your computer, and print them in photo-quality using the BJ printer. With
