Overview

Product Overview: The Canon MP560 is an all-in-one machine for your home office that allows you to quickly print high quality photos and text, copy important documents, and scan photos or forms. You can print directly from memory cards, PictBridge-equipped digital cameras, and Bluetooth-equipped camera phones (with optional adapter). In addition, you can print wirelessly from anywhere in your home via WiFi (with a working Ethernet network with wireless 802.11b/g capability).

ChromaLife 100+: This system combines enhanced FINE print head technology (see below) with select genuine Canon photo papers and inks for beautiful photos that will last up to 300 years when stored in an archival-quality photo album.

Printer Features

Wireless Printing: The Canon MP560 can print wirelessly from any Wi-Fi enabled computer, even from another room. Wireless printing requires a working network with wireless 802.11b/g capability. In addition, with the optional BU-30 Bluetooth interface, you can print from a Bluetooth-enabled device, such as a computer or mobile phone.

Resolution: Canon's Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses a 2,368 precision nozzle print head that ejects precise, consistent droplets as small as 1 picoliter. The print head has 320 nozzles for pigment black, 256 nozzles each for yellow and dye black, and 768 each for cyan and magenta. The MP560 produces an amazing resolution of up to 9600 x 2400 dpi for color and 600 x 600 dpi for black, for remarkable detail and clarity. The printer uses the following ink cartridges:

• PG-220BK Black pigment
• CLI-221Y Yellow
• CLI-221C Cyan
• CLI-221M Magenta
• CLI-221BK Black dye

Print Sizes: The MP560 can make various sizes of bordered or borderless photos. It can print using the following paper sizes: Letter, Legal, 4"x 6", 5"x 7", 8"x 10" and #10 envelopes. Paper options include plain paper, plus multiple types of photo paper, cards, and photo stickers.

Dual Paper Sources: You can load paper from the front cassette or rear tray, allowing you to load different types of paper (photo paper and plain paper) at the same time.

Auto Duplex Printing: The MP560 features can print 2-sided documents without having to manually flip the paper over.

There is also an easily accessible USB Type A port on the front panel for direct printing from your PictBridge-compatible digital camera or USB memory device.

Operation Panel: The MP560 has a convenient operation panel on the top front of the printer. You can check the status of the unit on the 2.0" LCD screen.

Auto Photo Fix II: The Auto Photo Fix II software, built right into the printer, automatically categorizes your images into one of five types: Portrait, Scenery, Night Scenery, Snapshot with Scenery, and Snapshot with Night Scenery. The printer then applies optimal image and multi-zone exposure correction, so unexposed areas of the photo will be optimized, area by area. Faces that are backlit and underexposed are automatically brightened with the correct color cast to ensure more accurate skin tones.

Scanner Features

Overview: The MP560 allows you to produce impressive 2400 x 4800 dpi scans with vibrant 48-bit color depth of photographs and documents to a computer. The images can be saved as JPEG, TIFF, bitmap, or PDF files. Scanned data on your computer can be processed using image processing software. You can copy/scan thick originals without a problem. You can also use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to convert scanned paper documents to text data. The maximum size paper that can be scanned is 8.5" x 11.7".

Auto Scan Mode: The Auto Scan mode automatically recognizes the type of original you are scanning, and saves it with the appropriate settings.

Optical Resolution: 2400 x 4800 dpi (19,200 x 19,200 dpi interpolated)

Copier Features

Overview: The MP560 is also a copy machine, allowing you to make color or black and white copies. You can make up to 99 copies of an original.

Smart Copying: Dual Color Gamut Processing Technology (DCGPT) automatically optimizes copy quality based on the type of originals you are copying.

Copy Settings: You can change the copy settings such as the reduction/enlargement, intensity, page size, and image quality.

Changing Size of Copy: You can reduce or enlarge the copies using four different methods:

• Same Magnification: copies in the same size as the original
• Preset Copy Ratios: you can select one of the preset ratios
• Custom Copy Ratios (Zoom): you can specify the copy ratio as a percentage to reduce or enlarge copies (1% increments from 25 to 400%)
• Automatic Ratios (Fit-to-Page): the machine automatically reduces or enlarges the image to fit the size of paper

Exposure (Intensity): This feature is the degree of difference between light and dark. Increasing the exposure setting further blackens dark area and brightens white areas. Conversely, decreasing the exposure setting reduces the difference between bright and dark areas. You can adjust the exposure between nine gradations, or select Auto Intensity.

Included Software

Easy-PhotoPrint EX (Windows/Macintosh): You can quickly and easily print borderless photos just by choosing the picture and paper type. This program also offers red eye correction, will smooth facial skin tones and is compatible with ExifPrint (to transfer recording data from the camera). Note: The Windows version is included on the CD-ROM. A Macintosh version is downloadable from the Canon website.

Easy-WebPrint EX (Windows only): The included Easy-WebPrint software facilitates printing from the Internet by automatically formatting and scaling the output so that the entire page is printed even when it extends over multiple screens. This time saving and cost saving feature reduces waste and ensures that the selected pages are formatted to print properly without trimming the right-hand margin.

MP Navigator EX (Windows/Macintosh): MP Navigator enables you to easily scan in photographs, documents, image data, etc. You can save scanned image data on your computer and attach it to an e-mail. You can also print photographs and edit images using the accompanying applications. Note: When using with Macintosh, QuickTime v6.4 required.
