Canon MultiPASSTM C50 manual Supplies and Options, BJ Print Cartridges and Ink Tanks

Supplies and Options

Your MultiPASS C50 uses Canon's Bubble Jet (BJ) cartridges and ink tanks, print media, and optional equipment, all designed to work with your MultiPASS C50 to help you produce the ®nest output possible. These supplies are available from your local authorised Canon dealer.

BJ Print Cartridges and Ink Tanks

The MultiPASS C50 uses Canon's BJ (Bubble Jet) cartridges to provide you with ®rst-rate, crisp print and vibrant colours.

Canon's BJ cartridges use advanced ink formulas that dry quickly, look great on plain paper, are not easily affected by light, and resist smudging extremely well. In addition, the print heads in the BJ cartridges cap themselves automatically when not in use, thus saving ink by keeping the print heads from drying out.

BJ print cartridges are also easy to maintain. If your BC-21/21e Colour BJ Cartridge runs out of ink, just replace the empty ink tank (black or colour). If the BC-20 Black Cartridge, BC-22/22e Photo Colour Cartridge, or BC-29F Fluorescent BJ Cartridge runs out of ink, just replace the entire cartridge.

To avoid printing problems, use only Canon BJ print cartridges and ink tanks. Other cartridges can produce unsatisfactory results. In addition, use only BCI-21 Black and BCI-21 Colour ink tanks in the BC-21/21e Colour BJ cartridge.

Special Print Media

You can use plain paper with the MultiPASS C50 for excellent colour, and black and white printing, but Canon has also developed a wide range of print media to extend your printing capabilities. See ºSelecting the Print Mediaº on page 2-37 for detailed descriptions of these media.

If you plan to use a print medium other than those made by Canon, be sure to test it in your MultiPASS C50 before ordering it in bulk. If you have any questions about whether a particular medium is suitable for your MultiPASS C50, please contact your local authorised Canon dealer.
