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 cartridge with either of its BJ tanks missing as the ink in the BJ cartridge will dry 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 cartridge to remain uncapped and dry out.

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

c	• Keep BJ cartridges and tanks out of
	children’s reach. If a child inadvertently
	ingests ink, consult a physician	BCl-
	immediately.
