Product Tour Summary   • The Pro 9500 Mark II is a large, bulky printer • The paper trays fold out of the way tidily when the printer is not in use Introduction Page 2 of 12 Setup & Software Front   Main Paper Tray   Controls   Manual Paper Tray   Paper Output Tray   PictBridge Port   The Pro 9500 Mark II is a simply designed printer. There are no screens or menus, instead, there are only three buttons and a couple of flashing lights that warn of an error. This is because printers like this are designed to be controlled by computers, not to act as stand-alone devices. There are three ways for paper to enter the printer: the standard tray on the back, a single sheet feed just above the paper output tray and a flat path paper feed tray on the back of the device. Side   Paper Input Tray     Paper Output Tray     In the side view, you can get a better view of the paper trays, which are in the open position. Back   Wheel   USB Port Flat Paper Path Tray Power Socket The back of the Pro 9500 is the home to the USB and power connections for the printer, as well as the flat path printer tray. Ink Cartridges The Pro 9500 ups the ante in terms of the number of ink cartridges; there are 10, while most other printers have 8 or fewer. Canon's own Pro 9000 Mark II uses 8 cartridges, for instance. The cartridges that the Pro 9500 Mark II use are Matte Black, Photo Black, Gray, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta, Red and Green. The ink is Canon's own Lucia formation that is also used on their professional large format printers, which they claim provides a wider gamut range than other types with fewer colors. The cartridges it uses are Canon type 9 cartridges that are only usable in this printer and the original Pro 9500, so you can't use a stock of ink cartridges from an older printer unless you are upgrading from the original Pro 9500.  The 10 ink cartridges of the Pro 9500 Mark II In the Box The Pro 9500 Mark II comes with a pretty minimal set of items in the box. You get: • The printer • A set of ink cartridges • Print head • Power Cord • Two software CDs • Quick start guide Noticeably absent from this list is a USB cable, a printed manual or any sample paper. The manual is available on CD (and can be, ironically enough, printed out from there), but the USB cable is a common, but annoying omission; don't forget to buy one if you don't have one available. Also absent is any sample packs of paper, which is another slightly frustrating omission.
