Other Ways to Improve Print Speed in Windows To improve printing speed, you cna try the following: Turn off the Print Manager in the Windows Control Panel (Windows 3.1 only). This avoids the extra step of sending the print file to the Print Manager and may increase your printing speed by as much as 25%, depending on the computer you are using. Add a permanent swap file in Windows 3.1. Under the 386 Enhanced icon in the Windows Control Panel, add or create a permanent swap file that is from 4 MB to 9 MB.
Use primary colors when printing presentation graphics. Use black, cyan, yellow, magenta, blue, green, and red when possible. The computer will need to calculate and transfer less dot information. Use the Draft print quality. The printer will need to image fewer dots. Use Plain Paper as the Media Type. The print head will make only one pass for each printed line. Use smaller graphics and more white space in your documents. The computer will be able to prepare the print file faster.
Paper Handling This chapter describes how to use the printer for all your printing operations. It includes: Selecting paper types Loading paper Printing on envelopes Using Canon's Specialty Papers To ensure the best performance of your printer, you want to select the best paper and load it correctly. You can stack paper in the sheet feeder to load it automatically, or you can manually feed one sheet at a time.
Selecting Paper Types One of the most important things you can do to assure the best possible performance of your Bubble Jet printer is to select the correct paper. Your printer produces letter quality print on most plain bond papers, including cotton bond and photocopying papers; it does not require special ink jet papers. However, the print quality varies with different paper types. Be sure to test a type of paper before you purchase a large quality.
Bubble Jet Paper (water resistant) The Canon bubble Jet Paper LC-301 has been developed for high quality printing with minimal or no smering or running when in contact with water or damp surfaces, making it a good choice for damp or rainy environments. The paper is specially coated and printable on both sides. (Select Plain Paper in the printer driver when you load this paper.
Paper Guidelines When selecting or loading paper, please remember the following: Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality. Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper. When using graph paper, the lines may not match because the 1/6 inch line spacing of the printer is slightly less than that of graph paper. If the print density of your page is very high, light paper stock may curl slightly due to the large amount of ink.
. Automatically Feeding Paper 1 Make sure the paper support is open. The paper support helps keep paper straight and limits the possibility of jams. Make sure the paper guide is moved to the left. 2 Fan the paper For best results, fan the paper before loading it. Always fan a stack of paper along the edge that will feed into the printer first. .
3 Slide the stack of sheet feeder until it stops. 1 of 1 Align the edge of the paper with the right edge of paper into the the sheet feeder. Do not force the paper into the printer. Insert the paper so that the side you want to print on is facing you. If you are using a preprinted stock, such as letterhead, insert the top of the paper into the sheet feeder first. Make sure the stack of paper does not exceed the paper guide.
4 Adjust the paper guide to the stack of paper. This keeps the paper feeding straight into the printer and reduces skewing. Be sure there is no gap between the paper guide and the edge of the stack of paper. 5 Start your print operation. 1 of 1 Make sure the printer is turned on and on-line. Initiate printing from the software application. See your software application's documentation for instructions on how to start printing.
Auto Feed Guidelines When automatically feeding stacks of paper, follow these guidelines: Do not open the front cover while printing. This may cause paper jams, smudges, or malfunctions. Do not leave paper stacked in the printer for long periods of times; longer sheets of paper may become bent or curled over time. This may cause the paper to misfeed or jam. If your printed page contains lots of graphics, the ink on the page may be damp due to the print density.
Printing on Envelopes You can stack up to five envelopes in the sheet feeder. U.S. Commercial number 10 (COM10) envelopes and European DL envelopes are recommended. You may be able to stack envelopes of other sizes in the sheet feeder; however, Canon cannot guarantee consistent performance on envelope sizes other thanCOM10 and DL.
2 Prepare the envelopes. Arrange the stack of envelopes on a firm surface and envelopes. press down firmly on the edges to make the folds crisp. Press around the envelopes to remove any curls and expel air from inside the envelopes. Also, press firmly on the area that corresponds to the edges of the flap. Make sure the curl is removed from every envelope.
4 Adjust the paper guide to the stack of envelopes. 5 Start your print operations. Make sure the printer is on-line. Using Canon's Specialty Papers This section provides guidelines for printing on Canon's specialty papers. Specialty Paper Guidelines Be sure to read any instructions that come with your Canon specialty paper. These instructions provide important information regarding how to achieve the highest print quality with these papers.
each sheet after it is delivered. Do not allow film sheets to stack up.
Let the printed sheets of film or paper dry completely before storing them. Paper type Drying time Canon Glossy Photo Paper GP-210 10 minutes Canon Fabric Sheet FS-101 1 hour Canon CF-102 Transparencies 15 minutes Canon Back Print Film BF-102 15 minutes When a sheet of film has dried completely, cover its printed side with a sheet of plain (not coated) paper before storing it; this is recommended even if you place the sheets of film in a clear file or plastic holder.
Maintaining the Printer This chapter covers the care and maintenance required for your printer.
Printer Guidelines Follow these guidelines to avoid damage to your printer and harm to you or others: Set the printer on a stable surface. Do not use an angled printer stand. Do not attempt to pick up the printer by the paper support. Keep the front cover closed when printing. Do not set anything on top of the printer. Make sure the power is off any time you connect or disconnect the AC adapter or interface cable. Do not move the mechanism that holds the BJ cartridge.
Cleaning the Printer Your printer requires little routine maintenance. Perform the following maintenance, as necessary, to keep your printer in good operating condition. 1 Be very careful when cleaning the printer. Make sure the BJ cartridge is in the home position (all the way to the right). Turn off the printer and unplug the AC adapter. Open the front cover. 2 Clean inside the printer. 1 of 1 Use a soft, dry cloth to remove any ink mist or paper debris.
3 Clean the platen area. Use a soft, dry cloth. Feed a blank sheet of paper through the printer. 4 Clean the exterior of the printer. 1 of 1 Use a soft, dry cloth. Clean any smudges or dust. Do not clean the exterior of the printer with volatile liquids such as thinners, benzine, or any spray-type or chemical cleaners; doing so will damage the surface of the printer. Do not submerge the printer in water.

BJ Cartridge Guidelines You can use these BJ cartridges and BJ tanks with the printer. BJ cartridges contain the Bubble Jet print head and BJ tank, while BJ tanks contain ink only. BC-11e Color BJ Cartridge Incorporates a Bubble Jet print head and two replaceable BJ tanks: a tri-color BJ tank (BCI-11 Color) and a black BJ tank (BCI-11 Black). One BC-11e Color BJ Cartridge comes with the printer. Use this cartridge when you plan to print in color.
SB-10 Ink Cartridge Storage Box Stores one BJ cartridge. One box comes with the printer.
You can use either the BC-11e or BC-10 BJ Cartridge with the printer. The BC-11e Color BJ Cartridge contains both color (cyan, magenta, yellow) and black ink; the BC-10 Black BJ Cartridge contains ink only. Use the BJC-10 Black BJ Cartridge when you will be printing with black ink only. The actual amount of ink that you use will vary depending on the print density of a page. If the majority of your output is graphics, you may need to change ink tanks more often than when you are printing text only.
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-party 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.
