Introduction
Features and Benefits
Congratulations on your purchase of the Canon Bubble Jet Printer BJ-
10sx. It offers exceptional print quality and trouble-free operation with
the convenience of compact size, low cost, and portability. We
appreciate your choosing this portable printer to meet your printer
needs.
This chapter introduces you to features of your new printer and
describes how to use this User's Manual.
The Bubble Jet Printer BJ-10sx produces high-quality printing by
incorporating many useful features.
Feature Benefit
Compact portable design The printer's compact design
(3.7lb/1.7kg) allows it to easily fit into
a briefcase. With the optional battery
pack, you can print documents without
AC power, a fully charged battery can
print up to 40 pages.
Convenient paper handling You can print on paper, envelopes, or
transparencies. An optional sheet
feeder is available for automatically
feeding stacks of paper
Software compatibility Two resident printer control modes
allow the printer to emulate other
printers: BJ-10e mode provides
emulation of the Canon Bubble Jet
printers as well as the IBM proprinter
X24E, an Epson LQ mode provides
emulation of the Epson LQ-510
printer. This means your printer is
compatible with a wide variety of
software applications including those
that support the Proprinter X24E and
LQ-510, as well as any of the other
Canon Bubble Jet printers (BJ-10e, BJ-
10ex, BJ-20, and BJ-130e).
Excellent print quality The high-performance print head of the
ink cartridge offers 360 by 360 dots
per inch (dpi) for high resolution
graphics. This gives you the output
quality of a laser printer and enables
you to create attractive presentations
while on the road.
High-quality ink The ink cartridge contains a high-
quality ink that is not easily affected by
light. It dries very quickly so it is
resistant to smudges. Printed output
does not fade as the cartridge runs out
of ink; the printer maintains the same
print quality regardless of how many
characters have been printed with the
cartridge.
Simple maintenance The replaceable ink cartridge contains
both the ink and the print head for the
printer. When it runs out of ink, you
simply replace it. Each cartridge
typically prints 400 to 500 pages
(700,000 characters) in high quality
(HQ) mode, and 800 to 1000 pages
(1,400,000 characters) in economy
mode.
Quiet printing The printer uses a non-impact printing
method that is very quiet.
