1. NEW TECHNOLOGIES1) Print speedWith the new print head (total 4,608 nozzles, 3 sizes of ink droplet), higher photo print speed on 4x6 size paper has been achieved.- 4 x 6 photo (PP-101, standard, borderless) *1 : Approx. 21 sec.- Camera Direct printing (4 x 6, borderless) *2 : Approx. 69 sec.Reference:*1: Based on Canon standard pattern. Print speed may vary depending on system configuration, interface, software, documentcomplexity, print mode, page coverage, type of paper used and does not take into account data processing time on host computer.*2: When printing a 6 megapixel image taken by certain Canon digital camera from PictBridge on default settings using Photo PaperPlus Glossy without border. Actual print speed may vary depending on image data, print mode, type of paper used and device thatthe printer is connected to.2) DesignWith the silver frame holding the main body from the bottom, the iP5300 wears a stately look in a fresh design. The square form makes theprinter look more compact and shorter in height.3) New support of DVD / CD print function in Canada modelDVD / CD print function is now available in the Canada model as well as other models.4) Remaining ink amount indication sequence in 2006 productsIn previous models, indication of the remaining ink amount differs between the individual ink tank system and the FINE cartridge system.In the 2006 models, the unified specifications have been adopted.Major changes from the 2005 models:- In Direct printing, printing will not be suspended at "Low Ink" indication. (Printing will start without a click by a user atthe "Low Ink" message.)- The remaining ink status will be indicated by the following 4 levels:The remaining ink amount will be checked at any of the following timings:- At the end of paper ejection *1- At the end of print head cleaningPart 2: TECHNICAL REFERENCE TABLE OF CONTENTSMax speed (Custom 5) StandardBlack text (plain paper, FINE pattern) 31ppm 14.8ppmColor (plain paper, FINE pattern) 24ppm 11.6ppmLow: No raw ink is detected by the optical method.(From this point, the remaining ink amount will be determined by the dot count.)Out: No ink remains according to the dot count.A warning will be displayed to indicate that ink may have run out.Empty: No raw ink is detected by the optical method, and the dot count value exceeds thethreshold of complete exhaustion of ink.A warning will be displayed to indicate that ink has run out.By pressing and holding the Resume/Cancel button for 5 seconds or longer, the functionto detect the remaining ink amount can be disabled.Unknown: Raw ink remains, but the dot count value exceeds the threshold of complete exhaustion ofink.By pressing and holding the Resume/Cancel button for 5 seconds or longer, the functionto detect the remaining ink amount can be disabled.2-1
