Printout Does Not Match Paper Size

1.Make sure the paper size you select within your printer driver matches the paper loaded in the printer.

2.Make sure the width of the paper on which you are printing matches the width defined by your software so there is always paper between the print head and the platen. The print head may be damaged if it prints directly on the platen.

If the print head does print on the platen, feed a few sheets of paper through the printer to clean the ink off the platen.

Printing Incorrect Number of Lines on Page

If the printer is not printing the number of lines you expect on a page, follow these steps.

1.Check the setting of DIP switch 3. This DIP switch determines the page length:

For letter-size paper, set it to OFF

TFor envelopes, set it to OFF. For A4-size paper, set it to ON.

2.Check the top and bottom margin settings of your software.

3.Make sure your paper is loaded correctly.

NOTE: If you need to print 66 lines per page, set DIP switch 2 to the ON position.

Printer Is Not Using Font You Selected With DIP Switches

Your software is overriding the DIP switch settings. Change the initialization or setup string that your software sends. You may need to do this using a menu or screen provided by your application software. See your application user's manual for information about how your software works with your printer.

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.

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.
