It includes: { Selecting paper types { Setting the paper thickness lever { Summary of printer settings for various print media { Automatically loading paper { Manually feeding paper { Printing on envelopes { Using Canon's Specialty Papers To ensure the best performance of your printer, you'll want to select the best paper and load it correctly.
6HOHFWLQJ 3DSHU 7\SHV One of the most important things you can do to assure the best possible performance of your Bubble Jet printer is to select the correct paper. Your printer produces letter quality print on most plain paper bond papers, including cotton bond and photocopying papers; it does not require special ink jet papers. However, the print quality varies with different paper types. Be sure to test a type of paper before you purchase a large quantity.
%DFN 3ULQW )LOP Canon Back Print Film BF-102 has been specially developed for Canon Color Bubble Jet printers. The film is designed to deliver brilliant, high-intensity color images suitable for business presentations, design work, or professional reports. Back Print Film is printed on the back (non-glossy) side of the film in mirror image and then viewed from the front or glossy side using a backlighting device.
3DSHU *XLGHOLQHV When selecting or loading paper, please remember the following: { Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality. { Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper. { When using graph paper, the lines may not match because the 1/6 inch line spacing of the printer is slightly less than that of graph paper. { If the print density of your page is very high, light paper stock may curl slightly due to the large amount if ink.
6HWWLQJ WKH 3DSHU 7KLFNQHVV /HYHU To ensure trouble-free paper handling, you'll want to set the paper thickness lever before loading paper. { Center for the BC-21 Color BJ Cartridge { Left for the BC-20 Black BJ Cartridge { Right for heavier-weight print media or envelopes Be sure check this lever when you change BJ cartridges, and before and after printing on heavier-weight print media or envelopes.

You can place approximately 100 sheets of plain paper (20 lb. or 75 g/m²) in the sheet feeder at a time. You can stack approximately 50 sheets of transparency film or 10 sheets of back print film in the sheet feeder.

$XWR )HHG *XLGHOLQHV When automatically feeding stacks of paper, follow these guidelines: { Do not open the front cover while printing. This may cause paper jams, smudges, or malfunctions. { Do not leave paper stacked in the printer for long periods of time; longer sheets of paper may become bent or curled over time. This may cause the paper to misfeed or jam. { If your printed page contains lots of graphics, the ink on the page may be damp due to the print density.
{ When automatically feeding transparencies or back print film, remove each sheet after it is delivered. Do not allow film sheets to stack up in the paper output tray. { Let the printed sheets of film dry completely before storing them. The complete drying time required for Canon's transparencies or back print film is approximately 15 minutes.

3ULQWHU *XLGHOLQHV Follow these guidelines to avoid damage to your printer and harm to you or others: { Set the printer on a stable surface. Do not use an angled printer stand. Avoid setting the printer in direct sunlight. { Keep the front cover closed when printing. { Do not set anything on top of the printer { Make sure the power is off any time you connect or disconnect the AC adapter or interface cable. { Do not unplug the AC adapter unnecessarily.
&OHDQLQJ WKH 3ULQWHU Your Printer requires little routine maintenance. Perform the following maintenance, as necessary, to keep your printer in good operating condition. { Make sure the printer is turned off before cleaning it. It is a good idea to unplug the AC adapter also. { Do not clean the exterior of the printer with volatile liquids such as thinners, benzine, or any spray-type or chemical cleaners; doing so will damage the surface of the printer.
3ULQWLQJ WKH 7HVW 3DJHV You use the Tests option on the Control tab in your BJC-4200 printer driver to print a self test, demonstration page, or a nozzle test pattern. You can use these test prints to check the operation of your printer and your print quality.

{ Canon's limited warranty does not cover damage caused to Canon's Bubble Jet products that is attributable to the use of third party parts or supplies, including inks. The limited warranty remains in effect for its life once the particular damage has been properly repaired. { For optimum printing results, Canon recommends that you use only the Canon BC-21 Color BJ Cartridge or the optional Canon BC-20 Black, BC-22 Photo, and BC-29F Neon BJ Cartridges with your BJC-4200 printer.
