Canon LR1 user manual Important Notes

Page 28

You can install any combination of BCI-11 and high-capacity BCI-18 ink tanks in a BC-11e Color BJ Cartridge. However, you cannot install both a BCI-11 Black and a BCI-18 Black Ink Tank in the cartridge.

For safety reasons, always store ink tanks out of reach of children. If ink is accidentally ingested, consult a physician immediately. (The ink contains isopropyl alcohol 67-63-0.)

Do not drop or shake BJ cartridges or ink tanks. If spilled, the ink will stain objects and clothing.

Important Notes:

■Perform ink tank replacement operations promptly, and do not leave ink tanks lying around after removing them from the LR1.

■Always replace empty ink tanks with new ones. If you install an ink tank that has already been used, the print head may become clogged, and the LOW INK light function will not work properly.

■To ensure freshness of ink tanks, use them within one year of purchase. Also, it’s a good idea to change an ink tank if it has not been used within six months of the time it was put in the printer.

■Do not open the sealed container that the ink tank comes in until you are ready to use the ink tank.

■Do not refill the ink tanks.

■The ink is water-soluble. Keep water and other liquids out of contact with prints, as the ink may run.
