Canon has more engineers dedicated to creating quality ink for providing the
best results for output on Bubble Jet printers than any other organization.
Canon does not prohibit the use of third-party inks and the use of third-part
inks does not invalidate the product's limited warranty. However, Canon cannot
guarantee the quality or performance of your printer when you are using inks
from other suppliers.
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 that particular
damage has been properly repaired.
For optimum printing results, Canon recommends that you use only Canon BJ
cartridges and BJ tanks.

Color Image Scanner Cartridge
This option instantly turns your printer into a high-quality, color sheet fed
scanner. All you have to do is replace the BJ cartridge in the BJC-80 with the
IS-12 Color Image Scanner Cartridge. For this option, you must use an
IEEE-1284-compatible, bi-directional parallel interface cable to connect the
BJC-80 to your computer. Also you must be using Windows 95.
See Chapter 6, Installing the Color Image Scanner Cartridge, for details.
Portable Kit, Battery Pack, and Universal Adapter
To enhance the printer's portability, Canon offers the following items for
supplying power to your printer.
Portable Kit NK-300
The portable kit includes one NiMH battery pack NB-300 and an attachment
unit, which allow you to operate the printer when AC power is not available.
When attached to the printer, this nickel-metal hydride battery pack charges
when the printer is not operating. The battery pack fully charges in about eight
hours. When fully charged, it enables you to continuously print about 200 pages.
NiMH Battery Pack NB-300
You can purchase additional battery packs to use with the Portable Kit NK-300.
Universal Adapter AD-350U/360U
The Universal Adapter supplies power to the printer from any power source
with an appropriate power cord. With the Universal Adapter, you can use the
BJC-80 in various countries where AC power differs from the U.S. standard.
See Chapter 5, Installing and Using the Battery Pack, for details.
