Features and benefits

This section summarises the features and benefits of the BJC-50.

Compact portable design

The printer’s extremely compact design and light weight allow it to fit easily into a briefcase. Despite its

small size the printer has full color printing capability on plain paper and a variety of other media. The

rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack allows you to operate the printer without connecting the AC

adapter. The battery pack will print up to 100 pages of normal black text at 1,500 characters per page.

Excellent print quality and speed in both color and

black and white

With the Windows Printer Driver, your printer can print color at 720 x 360 dpi (horizontal x vertical)

resolution. In addition, the new Color BJ Cartridge BC-11e can generate two sizes of ink droplets. This

feature delivers superior print quality, especially with graphic images.

igh quality ink

The BJ Cartridges contain high quality inks. The Black BJ Cartridge BC- 10 is used for black-and-white

printing and the Color BJ Cartridge BC-11e is used for color printing. An advanced ink formula

eliminates many problems common to ink jet printers. These inks are not easily affected by light. They

dry quickly, look great on plain paper, and are extremely smudge-resistant.

Quiet Printing

The BJC-50’s non-impact printing operates quietly.

Simple Maintenance

The BJC-50 uses removable print head units so it needs little maintenance. The Color BJ Cartridge BC-i

le has three main parts: a color ink cartridge, a black ink cartridge, and a print head unit. The Black BJ

Cartridge BC-10 has two main parts: one black ink cartridge and a print head unit.
