Canon Pixma MP520 printer - Easy-Scroll wheel
The Easy-Scroll Wheel user interface will be very familiar to consumers who have popular portable digital music players, helping them quickly understand the operations that this wheel controls, including editing, copying, printing and scanning options. What’s more, Canon has improved the “HOME” and “NAVI” buttons on these devices’ operational panels. When consumers push the NAVI button, it not only displays the machine’s on-screen guide, but it even navigates the user to the function they desire. The HOME button allows users to return to the main menu, regardless of where they are in the sub-menus, assuring users that home is always just a click away. By improving the Easy-Scroll Wheel, HOME and NAVI buttons, Canon has been able to simplify the printing process, and reduce the number of total buttons by approximately half, making operation much easier.

When using select genuine Canon photo papers and inks, prints can resist fading for up to 100 years when stored in an archival quality photo album. The 100-year-lifespan rivals that of many traditional film-based photos, long considered by consumers to be the benchmark for image permanence. Prints produced on Canon Photo Paper Pro with ChromaLife100 have up to a ten-year gas fastness when exposed to open air. ChromaLife100 prints, when created using Canon Photo Paper Pro or Photo Paper Plus Glossy, have up to a 30-year light fastness when displayed under glass.
