1. PRODUCT OUTLINE

1.1 Product Outline

This full color bubble jet desktop printer not only realizes high image printing through the implementation

of the PhotoRealism concept, but also higher speed printing compared to previous models.

This printer achieves high image printing by adopting "drop modulation technology" in the color BJ

cartridge and the photo BJ cartridge.

The expanded printing environment has allowed the printer to have banner printing capabilities. The

printer can also be used as a compact color scanner when the scanner cartridge is installed in the carriage.

All the function settings are easily set by the personal computer. The operation is easily performed with the

bidirectional Centronics interface (effective only for the device ID response)

This printer uses a built-in AC adapter. This is a small and light weight personal color printer with high

performance capabilities.
