1. PRODUCT OUTLINE
The BJ M70 and the BJC-85 are portable, color BJ printers targeting the personal use
market. As successive models of the BJC-80/80v, the following functions have been
added, the ease of connection has been improved, and the functions as a portable space-
saving printer has been strengthened.
(1)
The high-speed IrDA (Ver.1.1) enables the printer to attain print speed comparable
to that of the Centronics interface.
(2)
Direct printing from digital cameras by the new standards of IrTran-P.
(3)
Support of the USB I/F function.
(4)
Photo printing function is added.
2. CHANGES FROM THE BJC-80/80v
1)
New adoption of the photo cartridge (Photo printing function is added.)
2)
The IrDA version upgrade from Ver. 1.0 to 1.1 has enabled faster transmission.
3)
New adoption of IrTranP (Direct printing from digital cameras, enabled only in BJ M70).
4)
New adoption of USB I/F
5)
One emulation (BJC-85: LQ mode / BJ M70: BJ mode)
6)
Button reset of the ink low warning is added.
7)
Various specifications / Circuit diagram
8)
Special tool (spur cleaner) is added.
3. EXTERNAL APPEARANCE
The BJ M70 and the BJC-85 have the same appearance as the BJC-80/80v, except for the
following:
(1) The USB I/F connector has been added to the right side of the printer.
(2) The color of the panel cover and inner cover has been changed from gray to blue.
