Introducing the
MultiPASS C50
Supplies and Options
Your MultiPASS C50 uses Canon’s Bubble Jet (BJ) cartridges and ink
tanks, print media, and optional equipment, all designed to work with
your MultiPASS C50 to help you produce the finest output possible.
These supplies are available from your local authorised Canon dealer.
BJ Print Cartridges and Ink Tanks
The MultiPASS C50 uses Canon’s BJ (Bubble Jet) cartridges to provide
you with first-rate, crisp print and vibrant colours.
Canon’s BJ cartridges use advanced ink formulas that dry quickly, look
great on plain paper, are not easily affected by light, and resist
smudging extremely well. In addition, the print heads in the BJ
cartridges cap themselves automatically when not in use, thus saving
ink by keeping the print heads from drying out.
BJ print cartridges are also easy to maintain. If your BC-21/21e Colour
BJ Cartridge runs out of ink, just replace the empty ink tank (black or
colour). If the BX-20 Black Cartridge, BC-22/22e Photo Colour
Cartridge, or BC-29F Fluorescent BJ Cartridge runs out of ink, just
replace the entire cartridge.
N
To avoid printing problems, use only Canon BJ print cartridges and ink
tanks. Other cartridges can produce unsatisfactory results. In addition,
use only BCI-21 Black and BCI-21 Colour ink tanks in the BC-21/21e
Colour BJ cartridge.
Special Print Media
You can use plain paper with the MultiPASS C50 for excellent colour,
and black and white printing, but Canon has also developed a wide
range of print media to extend your printing capabilities. See “Selecting
the Print Media” on page 2-37 for detailed descriptions of these media.
If you plan to use a print medium other than those made by Canon, be
sure to test it in your MultiPASS C50 before ordering it in bulk. If you
have any questions about whether a particular medium is suitable for
your MultiPASS C50, please contact your local authorised Canon dealer.
