Features

The BJ-20 is a portable printer designed around Canon's proprietary bubble-jet

printing technology. Amongst others, it has the following major features:

Portable

The BJ-20 fits easily into a briefcase. The rechargeable battery pack (optional)

extends your ability to use it where AC power is not accessible.

Low Noise Level

With noise level as low as 45 decibels (dBA), the BJ-20 allows you to print even in

an open-office environment.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Conventions

The following symbols are used in this manual to help you operate the printer

correctly and safely.

Caution Means serious damage may occur to your hardware or software.

Note Gives useful advice or suggestions to raise the performance or

reliability of your hardware and software.

Laser Printer-like Print Quality

The 360-dpi resolution gives you output quality of a laser printer - but at a much

lower cost. This means bringing presentation output capability on the road.

Easy Maintenance

The BJ cartridge contains both ink and a print head. When the ink runs out, simply

replace the whole cartridge with a new one.

Flexible Control

You can control the BJ-20 from the control panel, the DIP switches, or your

software programs.

Precautions

frequency. (Since the AC adapter is intended to be

used only for local power supply, it cannot be

used in overseas.)
