Installing the BJ Cartridge

Install the BJ cartridge as explained in this section. For additional information on BJ cartridges and tanks, and for instructions on replacing,

→ p. 12-7.

Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to ensure optimum performance of your BJ cartridges and tanks:

• Store BJ cartridges and tanks at room temperature.

• Keep BJ cartridges in their sealed packaging until you are ready to use them.

• Once opened, use BJ tanks within six months and BJ cartridges within one year.

• Do not remove BJ cartridges and tanks from the unit unnecessarily, or the ink in them may harden.

• Do not leave empty BJ tanks in a Colour BJ cartridge. Remove them immediately when they run out of ink, and replace them with new ones. Do not leave a Colour BJ cartr idge with either of its BJ tanks missing as the ink in the BJ cartridge will dr y and adversely affect print quality.

• To change a BJ cartridge, be sure to press C (inside the unit) to move the cartridge holder to the centre.

• Make sure the cartridge holder is in its home position (on the right side of the unit) when you are not using the unit. If it is not in its home position, press C (inside the unit). Leaving the cartridge holder out of its home position will cause the BJ car tridge to remain uncapped and dry out.

Setting Up

• When changing BJ cartridges, always store the unused BJ cartridge in the BJ cartr idge container provided with your unit.

• Keep BJ cartridges and tanks out of

children’s reach. If a child inadvertently ingests ink, consult a physician immediately.

• Do not touch the precision components on the BJ cartridge.

The ink in the BJ cartridges and tanks is difficult to clean up if spilled. Follow these precautions when handling:

• Carefully remove packaging from BJ cartridges and tanks.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or refill BJ cartridges or tanks.

• Do not shake or drop BJ cartridges or tanks, or tip the print head downwards.
