DIP switch 1

Use this switch to change the horizontal print position according to the size of your paper. If you are using letter-size paper or COM 10 envelopes, set this switch OFF; the left margin will be 0.25 inch (6.4 mm). If you are using A4-size paper or DL-size envelopes, set this switch ON; the left margin will be 0.13 inch (3.4 mm).

DIP switch 2

If you are using a software application that assumes 66 lines will fit on each page, set this switch to ON. The printer will reduce the line spacing by a factor of 14/15, which is from 62 lines per page to 66 lines per page if line spacing is set to 6 lines per inch (lpi).

DIP switch 3

If you are using letter-size paper, set this switch OFF; this sets the page length to 11 inches. If you are using A4-size paper, set this switch ON; this sets the page length to 12 inches.

NOTE: In Epson LQ mode, you use this DIP switch with one-half reduction mode only.

DIP switch 4

When this switch is OFF, the printer uses the Epson Italics character set, which includes italic characters. When this switch is ON, the printer uses the Epson Graphics character set, which is the same as the MS-DOS code page 437 (this character set includes symbols, lines, corners, and European characters).

To see samples of the character sets available in Epson LQ mode, use Canon's toll-free fax retrieval system. Call the Canon help desk and request the fax retrieval system; then request the BJ-200e Printer Command Summary.

DIP switches 5, 6, 7

These switches allow you to select one of eight international character sets. These character sets provide you with the characters and symbols used in other languages.

BJ-200e specifications

The Canon BJ-200e is a compact portable bubble jet printer that emerged in the late 1990s as an innovative solution for mobile and home printing needs. Renowned for its unique design and efficient printing capabilities, this printer has earned a place in the hearts of users looking for quality and convenience.

One of the most significant features of the BJ-200e is its bubble jet technology, which utilizes tiny heating elements to create micro-bubbles of ink that are propelled onto the paper. This technology allows for high-resolution prints, with a maximum print resolution of up to 600 x 600 dots per inch (dpi). The result is crisp and vibrant text and graphics, making it suitable for both professional documents and colorful presentations.

The BJ-200e is designed for versatility, supporting various paper sizes, including standard letter and legal sizes. Its ability to handle different media types, such as envelopes and labels, adds to its functionality. The printer can produce up to 5 pages per minute for black and white documents and up to 2 pages per minute for color prints, which was impressive for its time.

Another characteristic that sets the Canon BJ-200e apart is its compact design. Weighing in at around 3.5 kg and featuring a small footprint, it is an ideal choice for users with limited desk space or those in need of a printer that can easily be transported. This portability was a game-changer for mobile users, such as business professionals and students.

The printer is equipped with a user-friendly interface, allowing for easy operation. It features a straightforward control panel and a built-in paper tray that can be accessed effortlessly. Additionally, it is compatible with various operating systems, such as Windows and Mac, ensuring seamless integration into different computing environments.

In terms of connectivity, the BJ-200e can connect via parallel ports, which was a standard for many printers of its era. This allowed for straightforward connections to desktop computers and laptops.

Overall, the Canon BJ-200e stands out as a reliable and efficient compact printer, showcasing the brilliance of bubble jet technology in delivering quality prints. Despite the advancements in printing technology today, its legacy continues to be appreciated by those who value portability and performance in their printing solutions.
