Part 2: Product Specifications

BJC-7100

Host Busy [Input]

Indicates that the host is ready to receive the data from the printer by making the Host Busy signal Low in the reverse data transmission phase. After that, it goes High when data is received from the printer to verify receiving data.

This signal changes to High in response to the PtrClk (ACKING) signal changing to Low to change to the reverse data transmission phase.

Init

This signal is not used in nibble mode.

DataAvail [Output]

This signal outputs the data to be sent to the host computer in the reverse data transmission phase. First, bit 0 of the transmission data is output, followed by bit 4.

Informs the host computer if there is reverse transmission data or not in the negotiation phase. If data is ready to be sent to the host computer, this signal changes to Low.

1284 Active (Input)

This signal confirms that the printer is an IEEE 1284-compatible device. This signal goes High at the start of the negotiation phase and remains High in nibble mode to indicate that the printer is operating in bidirectional mode. It changes to Low in the termination phase.

ECP mode

HostClk [Input]

This is the signal used in handshaking with PeriphAck (BUSY) signal when data is sent from the host computer to the printer.

This signal changes to Low when data has been output to the data bus (Data1 to 8) This signal changes to High in response to the PeriphAck (BUSY) signal rising. It remains High in the reverse data transmission phase.

Data 1 to 8 [Input/Output]

These are input data signals when data is sent from the host computer to the printer.

In the reverse data transmission phase, these are output signals, and the printer outputs data to the host computer using this data bus.

Periph Clk [Output]

This signal is always High when data is sent from the host computer to the printer. In the reverse data transmission phase, this signal changes to Low to indicate that data is output to the host computer. This signal changes to High in response to the HostAck (AUTO FEED XT) signal changing to High.

Periph Ack [Output]

When data is sent from the host computer to the printer, this signal changes to Low when the printer is ready to receive data.

When the data has been received from the host computer, this signal changes to High.

In the reverse data transmission phase, this signal indicates if the information output from the printer to the data bus is command information or data (Low: Command information; High: data).

The micro-nozzles work in conjunction with a sophisticated ink delivery system, ensuring that colors are produced as intended by the original digital file.

Another key characteristic of the QY8-1360-000 is its ability to support a wide range of media types, ensuring flexibility for various printing projects. Whether it’s glossy photo paper, fine art paper, or even canvas, this print head can accommodate different textures and finishes, making it ideal for both professional photographers and graphic designers.

Additionally, this print head is designed to achieve high resolution printing, with capabilities that can reach up to 4800 x 1200 dpi. Such high resolution allows for exceptional detail and color accuracy, which is particularly critical when producing photographic prints. The print head can also handle a broad color gamut, facilitating rich and vivid color outputs that elevate the overall quality of printed materials.

Technologically, the QY8-1360-000 incorporates Canon’s FINE (Full-Photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) technology. This innovative technology allows for the quick heat-up and ejection of ink, ensuring rapid print speeds without compromising quality. By combining speed with precision, it significantly enhances productivity in a professional setting.

In summary, the Canon QY8-1360-000 print head is an essential component for anyone seeking exceptional print quality and versatility in their printing endeavors. With precision engineering, support for multiple media types, high resolution output, and advanced FINE technology, it represents a significant advancement in Canon’s commitment to delivering outstanding imaging solutions. Whether used in a studio, print shop, or home office, the QY8-1360-000 enhances the quality and efficiency of printing workflows, making it a vital tool for creative professionals.
