Canon Special Media  
Canon offers a range of special paper and films for the reproduction of superb images in  
vibrant colours. For best results when printing photographs, use the Photo BJ Cartridge.  
• High Resolution Paper HR-101/101N  
Provides more vivid colours than plain paper.  
Ideal for printing photographs or business documents that include large  
numbers of colour illustrations and graphs.  
• Glossy Photo Paper GP-301  
Slightly heavier than High Resolution Paper because a gloss coating is  
applied to the print side of the paper. Provides near-photographic quality  
images with the glossy feel of a photographic print.  
• High Gloss Photo Film HG-201  
A film sheet with a higher gloss than Glossy Photo Paper GP-301.  
To obtain the highest quality reproduction of photographs, use this media  
with the Photo BJ Cartridge.

Media Types You Can Use with the Printer  
• Glossy Photo Cards FM-101  
A special card made of the same stock as Glossy Photo Paper GP-301.  
You can creat a photo card printed over its entire area by printing the  
image so that it extends beyond the perforations and then trimming off the  
unwanted white margins. Use this card when you want to print a colour or  
a photo over the entire card.  
Transparencies CF-102  
These can be used to prepare materials for use with an overhead projec-  
tor. To avoid paper jams and other problems, never use transparencies  
intended for use with other Canon BJ printers (e.g., CF-101), laser beam  
printers or photocopiers.  
• Back Print Film BF-102  
This white translucent film is ideal for displays that use backlighting to  
show a printed image in the same way as slides and stained glass. The  
original image is reversed horizontally (mirrored) when printed.

Printing Area  
Printing Area  
To ensure the best print quality, the printer allows a margin along each edge of the media.  
(The printing area varies according to the media size.)  
Note that the term "printing area" represents both the recommended area for the optimum  
print quality and the entire area where the printer can technically print.  
The following key is provided to show you how these areas are shown in  
the illustrations that follow.  
Printing area (dark blue): Canon recommends that you print within  
this area. (  
)
Printable area (light blue): The area where it is possible to print.  
However, printing in this area can  
adversely affect the print quality or the  
paper feed precision. (

Notes on Handling BJ Cartridges  
All BJ Cartridges contain replaceable ink tanks. Ink tanks and BJ Cartridges are consum-  
able items. After an ink tank runs out of ink, or after a print head wears out, it should be  
replaced.  
When you purchase extra ink tanks...  
• Check the name of the ink tank(s) to ensure that you get the correct ink  
tank(s) for your BJ Cartridges before purchase. In order to print correctly,  
you must have the correct ink tanks installed for each BJ Cartridge.  
• When you purchase a Canon Photo BJ Cartridge, make sure that you  
specify the Color BJ Cartridge BC-32 Photo. Other Photo BJ Cartridges  
cannot be used with this printer.

Notes on Handling BJ Cartridges  
Handling the BJ Cartridges...  
To avoid personal injury or damage to the print heads, never touch the  
print heads of a BJ Cartridge. The print heads become very hot during  
printing and can cause a minor burn. Touching a print head could  
damage it and make further printing impossible.  
Caution  
To avoid ink spills and stains on your clothing or the surrounding area, do  
not drop or shake BJ Cartridges or ink tanks.

Notes on Handling BJ Cartridges  
Storing the unused BJ Cartridges...  
After you replace the Black BJ Cartridge BC-30 with the Color BJ Cartridge  
BC-32 Photo, always store the Black BJ Cartridge BC-30 in a BJ Cartridge  
Container. If the BJ Cartridge is not properly stored in the container, the ink  
will dry out and the BJ Cartridge can no longer be used. Also, after remov-  
ing the seal from the ink tank, always insert it immediately into a BJ Car-  
tridge to prevent the ink tank from drying out.

Notes on Handling BJ Cartridges  
Important  
• Do not attempt to reattach the protective cap and protective tape after  
removing them. Observe all local regulations regarding the location and  
method of disposing of these items.  
• Do not leave an empty ink tank in a BJ Cartridge. Remove it immediately  
after ink runs out.  
• If a used ink tank which is still usable must be removed for some reason,  
keep the ink tank installed in the BJ Cartridge. Otherwise the ink will dry  
out and print jobs may not be performed properly after the ink tank is  
installed again.

TWAIN-compatible graphics application program. After scanning the  
image, transfer the image data to the application program to edit,  
enhance and save images.  
• If you are not using a TWAIN-compatible graphics application program,  
use the IS Scan Plus utility for Windows. IS Scan Plus allows you to scan,  
edit, enhance and save images.

For printing colour graphs, charts with text, use the combination of the  
Black BJ Cartridge BC-30 and Color BJ Cartridge BC-31 to print reports

and objects that appear pale green on the screen are printed dark green.  
A colour display and printer do not reproduce colour in the same way. The printed colour  
tones may not perfectly match the colours you see on the screen because screen colour  
varies how the screen is viewed and calibrated.

Is the printer switched on?  
Check the POWER lamp to see if it is lit green.  
If the POWER lamp is flashing green, the printer is still warming up.  
After the POWER lamp is lit, the printer is ready to use.  
Are you printing a very large file?  
A very large file may require more time to process before printing begins.  
Photographs and illustrations can increase the size of a file. For a very  
large file, wait a few minutes for the print job to begin. Check the POWER  
lamp. If the POWER lamp flashes green, the computer is sending print  
data to the printer and the job is executing normally.  
Check 3  
Are the printer and computer securely connected?  
Check the printer cable connections at the printer and computer. A faulty or  
loose connection can prevent a print job from starting.

Are you using the correct printer driver?  
A print job may not start if you have selected the wrong printer driver for the  
print job.  
Windows  
Make sure "Canon BJC-6200" is displayed in the Name entry box of the  
Print dialogue box. If another driver is selected, click the down-arrow and  
select "Canon BJC-6200" from the pull-down list. If BJC-6200 does not  
appear in the list, you must install the printer driver.  
If you use only the BJC-6200, select the BJC-6200 as the default printer.  
Select BJC-6200 from Chooser of the Apple menu.

Check 1  
Is the print job a finely detailed photograph or illustration?  
The printer requires more time to process a finely detailed illustration or  
photograph. Check the POWER lamp. If the POWER lamp is flashing  
green, the computer is sending print data to the printer and the job is exe-  
cuting normally.  
If the print job requires using a large amount of black ink on plain paper, the  
print job may require more time.  
Check 2  
Has the printer been operating for a long time?  
The print heads may occasionally overheat during a long print job.  
If the print heads overheat, printing pauses at the end of a pass across the  
page to allow time for the print heads to cool and then restarts after a brief  
interval. Interrupt printing at a convenient point, switch the printer off and  
wait for at least 15 minutes for the print heads to cool.  
If the printer overheats while printing a densely coloured photograph or  
illustration, the printer may beep and stop printing to protect the print  
heads. In this case, you cannot continue printing. Switch the printer off and  
wait at least 15 minutes for the print heads to cool.  
To avoid minor burns, never touch the print heads or the surrounding area.

Is the ink of BJ Cartridge in good condition?  
The print head nozzles may be clogged, one or more of the ink tanks may  
be low, or the BJ Cartridge may be worn. Visually check the level of the ink  
in the ink tanks. If the tanks are empty, replace them. Next, print a nozzle  
check pattern to check the status of the print heads and clean the print  
heads.  
If the problem is not solved, replace ink tanks or BJ Cartridge.  
If you can print a nozzle check pattern normally, check that the printer is  
connected to the computer securely. If the connection is loose, printing  
starts but nothing may be printed.  
Make sure there is no problem with the original file.

Did you remove the orange protective tape from the print head?  
If the orange protective tape is not removed from the BJ Cartridge, ink can-  
not be ejected from the BJ Cartridge. Remove the BJ Cartridge and check  
the print head. If the tape has not been removed, remove it. Align the print  
heads before you resume printing.

solution, and then wipe its wet surface off with a dry, soft cloth. If the scan-  
ning holder is scratched or damaged, replace it.  
Additional scanning holders in A5 and A4 sizes can be purchased option-  
ally. Note that the availability differs from area to area.  
Note  
Check 3  
Are you scanning thick paper?

Scanned image is of uneven quality  
The scanned image is coarse and blurry.  
Check  
Is the resolution setting high enough?  
Resolution determines the precision of the scanned image.  
The greater the number of dots used to draw an image, the greater the pre-  
cision and the higher the quality of the scanned image. For a better quality  
image, select a high number.  
Note that the scanning speed becomes slower and the file size of the  
scanned image becomes larger when you use a higher resolution.

Did you perform white level calibration?  
White level calibration is used for maintaining the correct colour balance of  
scanned images. This white level calibration is needed when using the  
scanner cartridge is used for the first time after purchase or when the sys-  
tem needs to update the white level calibration data.  
Check 2  
Did you adjust the brightness and contrast?  
Depending on the image you scan, a white portion is not recognised as  
white because the scanner detects and scans even the small differences of  
the density between white and other colours.  
Adjust the brightness and contrast.  
• When you are using IS Scan Plus, refer to the on-line Help.  
• When you are using a TWAIN-compatible graphics application program,

White portion becomes greyish  
Check 3  
Did you scan a monochrome image using the Colour or Greyscale setting?  
If the scanning mode is set to Colour or Grayscale, the scanner detects and  
scans gradations evenly, and white may not be recognised as white. When  
you scan a monochrome image, always set Black & White in the scanning  
mode so the scanner can scan using only two values between white and  
black. For details on how to set black and white in the scanning mode, refer  
to the on-line Help.

formance of the computer.  
To shorten the time required for scanning:  
• Use the appropriate resolution setting. Make sure that the resolution is  
not set higher than you require.  
• Use the Prescanning feature to confirm and specify only a portion of the  
entire image before you scan.
