Canon i250 Series User manual

Advanced printing technology, exceptional value.
The Canon i250 Color Bubble Jet Printer delivers crisp text, no-hassle printing and high-quality photos from the Web—all at an
exceptional value. It achieves up to 12 ppm in black and up to 9 ppm in color while delivering a maximum resolution of 4800 x 1200
color dpi. Canon advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology™ uses a revolutionary nozzle system that ejects microscopic, prescribed-
volume droplets with remarkable accuracy for smoother, virtually grain-free images. The i250 printer’s stylish, compact design fits
nicely into any home office or work area, especially if space is limited.
Quality documents and photos—fast.
The i250 printer offers excellent performance in a compact design. Your printed letters, reports and e-mails will look sharp and
bold, with text that is well defined and black, not muddy or gray, because of the pigment-based black ink. Let’s talk speed: its
approximately 6-second-per-page monochrome text speed is incredibly fast and you can produce a quality color photo of family
or friends in just minutes. The i250 printer is faster and more convenient than a trip to the local photo mini-lab.
Exclusive Canon features.
The i250 printer includes Canon exclusive Easy-PhotoPrint software that makes it simple to more faithfully reproduce digitally captured
colors. Printer driver settings are automatically adjusted for the paper type selected to optimize print quality. Print quality of digital images
is improved by reducing “Photo Noise” and boosting color saturation with “Vivid Photo” driver enhancements. To eliminate the hassles of web
printing Canon developed Easy-WebPrint** software. Easy-WebPrint is a toolbar for Microsoft®
‚ Internet Explorer that automatically scales
web pages to fit the width of the paper. Web pages that might otherwise print with the right edge clipped off will now fit on your printed
page. Background colors on web pages can be easily printed and multiple pages can be
formatted to print on a single multi-column page. Whether printing text, web pages or
photos you’ll get phenomenal results right from the start.
