Design of this printer possible to name ultracompact - it practically does not occupy the place on the table. Pallet is situated behind, sheets are insert nearly vertically. For the best sheet support in the vertical position is provided by withdrawable plastic panel. There is a move limiter of width of sheets in the pallet. Front panel sits back downwards, ensuring access to the printing mechanism. Printing sheets driving out of slots, situated in lower part front panels. Receiving pallet is absent, so ready prints get on the surface of the table.
Single management body - protuberant oval button of blue colour (continuation of print) - is situated on the center on upper panel. Light indicators are absent. Interface connector is situated vertically on the backboard on the right on the pallet. Network cable is connect with the connector, situated in lower part of the backboard left of the pallet.
In the printer simultaneously possible to install only one cartridge - or black (monochrome), or colour (cyan, magenta, yellow). For more quality colour print possible to gain photocartridge (also three colours). Besides, possible gains three-colored florescent colour cartridge.
Printing mechanism works very softly, with low noise level. As far as in designs is not provided by power supply breaker, the printer is include right after connections to the wall-plug of electric network. Regrettably, applicable network cable is render very short (90 sm.), that can cause certain inconveniences under its connection.
Installing software (driver of version 5.70, deliver on the compact disk) did not cause difficulties.
Changing catridge is produce easy and does not require physical efforts. For fixing cartridge in the holder sufficiently to snap plastic hook. Just on the holder is situated on-off-type mechanical switch of thickness of printed materials. Depending on chosen in the driver of type of papers on schematic expressing a printer is indicating location of this switch and necessary its position.
Driver of printer has a simple interface. Possible installation five quality gradations and three types of the raster, forced print in the monochrome mode, choice of different types of papers. Provided a possibility of scaling a print expressing, as well as printing the u-turns and posters. Possibility of exact correcting a colour is provided for colour prints. Tuning possible to save for further use. From the folder of servicing a printer are actuated processes a peelings of print heads and giving paper of platens, printout test pages. Type cartridge is defined automatically (with the exclusion of florescent, which is defined as usual colour).
When printing a text BJC-1000 has show highly nonbad quality under the high velocity of print, however modest achievements in the field of printing the colour expressing - that is stipulate by insufficient density and saturation three-colorful print. Necessary to note that using photocartridge vastly perfects a quality of expressing - raster structure becomes less observable, picture - more saturated.
If you need a home printer mainly for printing a text and uncomplicated graphs, Canon BJC-1000 can become a nonbad choice. Considering its small size, its painlessly possible will "put" practically in any interior.

You have got a lot of information in here but it reads similar to the instruction books and they confuse me as well. Perhaps if simplified for a novice PC user like me it might be a bit more helpful. Best Wishes, Julie
