Canon PIXMA iP4200 Service Manual - Page 36

1. NEW TECHNOLOGIES (1) New ink tank system (PGI-5, CLI-8) An LED is installed in each ink tank. By the LED indication, wrong installation of the ink tanks will be prevented, and the remaining ink level can be visually recognized with the ink tanks seated in the carriage. The combination of the new pigment-based black ink with higher resistance against bleeding or marker pens and the new dye-based inks with higher photo quality and weather resistance makes the new ink system strong in both photo and text printing. (2) Super-photo quality printing By the FINE technologies, 1 pl of ultra-fine ink droplet is adopted. The iP4200 provides excellent super-photo print quality without graininess at the maximum resolution of 9,600 dpi x 2,400 dpi*1, which is equal to that of a 6-color printer. *1: Printing at the minimum distance of 1/9600 inch between the dots. (3) Speed Approx. 51 sec. in 4 x 6 borderless printing (standard mode, PP-101, Full Page SCID No.2) For reference: High-speed printing at 29 ppm in monochrome printing and 19 ppm in color printing have been achieved. (4) New functionality in Direct Printing Plain paper is now usable in Camera Direct Printing from a digital camera or digital video camera, if both support PictBridge. File numbers can be printed on the images. (5) Design As the frame design, the printer consists of only the upper and lower cases along with the paper output tray of 4 slides (contributing to increase of the paper ejection speed). With the trays retracted, the printer is only 160 mm high (10 mm lower than the iP4000). While keeping the functionality of retractable trays and cassettes, the round corners and edges of the upper part of the printer give gentle impression in a compact body. (6) USB 2.0 Hi-Speed supported The printer supports USB 2.0 Hi-Speed, enabling high speed data transfer in use with the computer, OS, and USB hub. To the top 2-1
