The printer connects via a parallel port interface compatible with many personal computers of its era.

Key Advantages

The Canon BJC-50 offers high-quality color printing using Bubble Jet technology, delivering vibrant and accurate colors for its time. It supports multiple paper sizes and types, enhancing its versatility for various office needs. The printer is known for its easy installation and user-friendly driver support on Windows 3.1 and later. Its compact and lightweight form factor makes it convenient for small office spaces. Energy-efficient operation reduces power consumption during idle periods. Additionally, Canon's reputation ensures availability of replacement parts and accessories, facilitating maintenance.

Limitations

Print resolution is limited to 360 x 360 dpi, which is low compared to modern printers, restricting detailed image output. The printing speed is relatively slow, especially for color prints, impacting productivity. Connectivity options are limited to parallel port, lacking USB or network interfaces common in newer models. This model does not support duplex (double-sided) printing, requiring manual paper handling. It uses individual ink tanks, which can increase running costs and require frequent changes. Due to its age, driver support is limited to older operating systems, presenting compatibility challenges with modern computers.
