Canon has more engineers dedicated to creating quality ink for providing the

best results for output on Bubble Jet printers than any other organization.

Canon does not prohibit the use of third-party inks and the use of third-part

inks does not invalidate the product's limited warranty. However, Canon cannot

guarantee the quality or performance of your printer when you are using inks

from other suppliers.

Canon's limited warranty does not cover damage caused to Canon's Bubble Jet

products that is attributable to the use of third party parts or supplies, including

inks. The limited warranty remains in effect for its life once that particular

damage has been properly repaired.

For optimum printing results, Canon recommends that you use only Canon BJ

cartridges and BJ tanks.

Color Image Scanner Cartridge

This option instantly turns your printer into a high-quality, color sheet fed

scanner. All you have to do is replace the BJ cartridge in the BJC-80 with the

IS-12 Color Image Scanner Cartridge. For this option, you must use an

IEEE-1284-compatible, bi-directional parallel interface cable to connect the

BJC-80 to your computer. Also you must be using Windows 95.

See Chapter 6, Installing the Color Image Scanner Cartridge, for details.

Portable Kit, Battery Pack, and Universal Adapter

To enhance the printer's portability, Canon offers the following items for

supplying power to your printer.

Portable Kit NK-300

The portable kit includes one NiMH battery pack NB-300 and an attachment

unit, which allow you to operate the printer when AC power is not available.

When attached to the printer, this nickel-metal hydride battery pack charges

when the printer is not operating. The battery pack fully charges in about eight

hours. When fully charged, it enables you to continuously print about 200 pages.

NiMH Battery Pack NB-300

You can purchase additional battery packs to use with the Portable Kit NK-300.

Universal Adapter AD-350U/360U

The Universal Adapter supplies power to the printer from any power source

with an appropriate power cord. With the Universal Adapter, you can use the

BJC-80 in various countries where AC power differs from the U.S. standard.

See Chapter 5, Installing and Using the Battery Pack, for details.
