*1: Based on Canon standard pattern. Print speed may vary depending on
System configuration, interface, software, document complexity, print mode,
page coverage, type of paper used and does not take into account data
processing time on host computer.
*2:
When printing a 6 megapixel image taken by certain Canon digital camera
from PictBridge on default settings using Photo Paper Plus Glossy without

paper used and device that the printer is connected to.
Note:
Notations for the Americas should be confirmed with the related marketing section
of each sales company in the Americas.
(2) Design
With the silver frame holding the main body from the bottom, the iP4300 wears a stately look in a
fresh design.
The square form makes the printer look more compact and shorter in height.
(3) DVD / CD print function supported in Canada and Latin models
DVD / CD print function is now available in the CA and LAM models as well as other models (except
the US and KR ones).
(4) Remaining ink amount indication sequence in 2006 products
In previous models, indication of the remaining ink amount differs between the individual ink tank
system and the FINE cartridge system.
In the 2006 models, the unified specifications have been adopted.
Major changes from the 2005 models:
- In Direct printing, printing will not be suspended at "Low Ink" indication. (Printing will start without a
click by a user at the "Low Ink" message.)
- The remaining ink status will be indicated by the following 4 levels:
Low: No raw ink is detected by the optical method.
(From this point, the remaining ink amount will be determined by the dot count.)
Out: No ink remains according to the dot count.
A warning will be displayed to indicate that ink may have run out.
Empty: No raw ink is detected by the optical method, and the dot count value exceeds the
threshold of complete exhaustion of ink.
A warning will be displayed to indicate that ink has run out.
