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.
