Options

As part of your printer setup, you can specify certain options that control the half-toning and intensity of your printed graphics and text.

FromTthis screen you can select Halftone options and an Intensity level:

Click on the drop-down arrow next to the Halftone setting to select one of the following:

Pattern, which is the default

Diffusion

Pattern is available for Print Selections of Black and White and Grayscale. Diffusion is available for Grayscale only.

Pattern uniformly aligns individual dots to produce shades of gray; this method offers fast printing speed. Diffusion randomly places individual dots; this method produces subtle gradations and is best suited for printing documents that contain finely detailed graphics or photographic images. (The Diffusion setting may help eliminate

Tbanding problems when printing grays or all black images.)

You can control the intensity with which text and graphics are printed using the Intensity setting. This controls the threshold at which a pixel value is turned on or off. Setting the scroll bar to the left results in darker print and setting it to the right results in lighter print. The default is the value represented at the center of the scroll bar. (In some applications, setting the scroll bar all the way to the right causes nothing to print.)

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.

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.
