Part 4: Technical Reference BJC-50 2. FIRMWARE 2.1 Interface The printer supports a parallel interface and IrDA interface. The parallel interface is compatible with the bidirectional Centronics interface-standard (IEEE 1284). Compatible mode is the same as the Centronics interface-standard protocol. IrDA is an infrared data communication interface that is compatible with IrDA (1.0).
Part 4: Technical Reference BJC-50 2.1.2 Nibble mode In nibble mode, the printer transfers data twice to the host computer in 4-bit units. The data is transferred with the PtrClk signal and HostBusy signal handshakes. After the printer negotiates with the host computer and enters the nibble mode, the printer confirms that the HostBusy signal is low, outputs a PtrClk signal with a nibble setting on the lower bits and lowers the PtrClk signal.
Part 4: Technical Reference BJC-50 2.1.3 ECP mode In ECP mode, the PeriphAck signal and the HostClk signal handshake to communicate. After the host computer negotiates with the printer, the printer raises the PeriphClk signal and the host computer lowers the HostAck signals. At this point the host computer sets the data on the bus and lowers the HostClk signal to transmit the data.
Part 4: Technical Reference BJC-50 2.1.4 IrDA IrDA is an IrDA (1.0) conforming infrared serial communicating device that is built-in on the back side of the printer. Input and output of infrared light is conducted through this device. For wireless infrared one-to-one communication, the computer's IrDA and the printer's IrDA must be facing each other.

Part 4: Technical Reference BJC-50 b) IrDA standard To connect data transmission devices using infrared communication, the protocols physical and transport layers have been standardized. 1) Physical Layer (IrDA-SIR) 2) Dataring Layer (IrLAP and IrLMP) 3) Transport Layer (IrTP) The Printer does not have a IrTP in the transport layer. In the physical layer standards (IrDA-SIR), the infrared signal are established.
2.2 720 dpi Printing/Smoothing Feature 2.2.1 Canon extension mode In Canon extension mode, the printer driver creates 720 dpi data for the horizontal axis and sends it to the printer, allowing the printer to archive high-quality printing. With a black BJ cartridge installed, the printer driver smoothes the printed character's edges to 720 dpi along the horizontal axis.
Part 4: Technical Reference BJC-50 2.3 Printing Modes Depending on the cartridge installed, the medium, the printing mode, the resolution, the print data, etc., the printer varies the carriage movement, bubble jet head driving frequency, etc., to attain high-quality printing without any bleeding or shifting in the printout.
Part 4: Technical Reference BJC-50 2.4 Optimum Printing Direction Control To prevent vertical misalignment of the printed characters, etc., when print data is printed continuously in the direction of the paper feeding direction, printing is executed with the carriage moving from only one direction. However, when printing in the paper feed direction is not continuous, since vertical misalignment is not so noticeable, the printing direction is alternated so that printing is also executed from the opposite carriage direction.
Part 4: Technical Reference BJC-50 2.6 Lithium Ion Battery Recharging 2.6.1 Switching to recharge mode The lithium ion battery must always be installed in the printer as the recharging circuit for the battery is inside the printer. When the printer is in stand-by mode or soft power OFF, the battery begins to recharge.
Part 4: Technical Reference BJC-50 3. PRINTER MECHANISM 3.1 Overview of the Mechanical System of the Printer The mechanical system of the printer is comprised of the ink/BJ cartridge, purge section, paper feed section, and the carriage section.
