Differences between BJC-50/50v and BJC-55/BJ M40

1. PRODUCT OUTLINE

The BJC-55/BJ M40 are mobile, color BJ printers targeting the personal-use market. As a

successive model of the BJC-50/50v, the ease of connection has been improved, mobile

printer function has been strengthened, and the following functions have been added:

(1) The high-speed IrDA (Ver.1.1) enables the printer to attain print speed comparable

to that of the Centronics interface.

(2) Direct printing from digital cameras with IrTran-P. (BJ M40 only)

(3) Support of the USB I/F function.

(4) Photo printing function.

2. CHANGES FROM THE BJC-50/50v

1) New adoption of the photo cartridge (Photo printing function has been added.)

2) The IrDA version upgrade from Ver. 1.0 to 1.1 has enabled faster transmission.

3) New adoption of IrTranP (Direct printing from digital cameras/BJ M40 only).

4) Parallel interface has been eliminated. USB I/F has been adopted.

5) Button reset of the ink low warning is added.

6) Demonstration pattern printing is eliminated.

(The other self test print can be performed by the same operation as with the BJC-50/50v.)

7) Various specifications

8) A special tool (spur cleaner) is included.

3. EXTERNAL APPEARANCE

The BJC-55/BJ M40 has the same appearance as the BJC-50/50v, except for the following:

(1) The USB I/F connector has been positioned on the left side of the printer. Along with

this, the IrDA module has been moved, and the parallel interface has been eliminated.

(2) The color of the panel switch has been changed from an opaque to a transparent purple.

(3) The color of the lock switch has been changed from black to the same purple as the

panel switch.

(4) The line direction along the head cover of the upper cover has been changed.

Changed from black to purple.

Changed from an opaque to

a transparent purple.

The line direction has been changed.

4-3-1. Restrictions on IrDA communication under Windows 2000

The following restrictions or problems occur in case of communication via IrDA under

Windows 2000, connecting with this printer.

As only one-way communication is possible, status information of the main unit cannot be

obtained, causing the following restrictions:

1) The status monitor does not function.

Therefore, the status monitor is disabled by default in the printer driver of this printer

in the case of communication via IrDA under Windows 2000. Users can start the

status monitor by selecting "Start Status Monitor" from the "Property" sheet, however,

"Communication Impossible" is indicated.

2) The installed cartridge is unknown.

3) The possibility of ink-low error is displayed only by printer LED. (The information

is not displayed on the host computer.)

4) The print job cannot be canceled from the host computer when an error has occurred.

After the cause of the error is resolved, the printer can be recovered by pressing the

RESUME

button on the printer's operation panel. The error can then be recovered on

the host computer, although the ongoing print job is deleted.

Plug and Play is not supported.

1) The host computer occasionally fails to recognize the infrared port of the printer in

4Mbps communication. "Hard power reset," i.e. disconnection of the printer from mains

power and removal of the battery, is required to recover from this condition. The

frequency of occurrence and the duplication are low. In case of frequent occurrence,

however, this problem can be avoided by lowering the communication speed.

2) If the cleaning operations, etc., start during printing, the error message "Write error"

may be displayed on the host computer. When the cleaning operations, etc. are

finished, the error message disappears, and printing operations continue.

3) If another operation is executed at the host computer (eg., launching another

application) while printing a large file (printing photo images from Photoshop etc.),

paper may automatically be ejected, or the printer may reset.

Photo print mode can be used to obtain high level gradation print quality when using the

Photo BJ cartridge. These cartridges contain low density ink which achieves a rich

gradation and reduced graininess by printing several times over the same dot.

The printer driver divides the pixel data into a maximum of 4-values (not printed, print 1

dot, print 2 dots and print 3 dots) enabling each pixel to be printed in up to 4 gradations.

The printer therefore makes three passes using a maximum of 150% more ink than usual.

This Photo cartridge adopts drop modulation, decreasing granularity of the low density

parts by efficiently ejecting large and small ink droplets.

No head installation error H H -----

The printer cannot detect ink cartridge type, and the ink cartridges suitable for the BC-11e

and BC-12e heads are not incompatible, so that the following installation problem may

occur. Regardless if the BCI-12 Bk/Color low density photo ink cartridge is installed in the

BC-11e by mistake, the printer recognizes it as the usual BC-11e color cartridge, resulting

in low density imaging. Likewise, if the BCI-11 Bk/Color cartridge is installed in the BC-

12e head, the opposite occurs and high density image printing takes place.
