Installing the BJ cartridge, Guidelines | Canon B160, B180C guide

Installing the BJ cartridge

The first time you set up your fax, you have to install the BJ cartridge before you can begin receiving and copying documents.

For information on replacing the BJ cartridge, see p. 9-8.

Guidelines _________________________________

Follow these guidelines to ensure optimum performance of your BJ cartridge.

•Use only a Canon BX-20 Black BJ* cartridge in your fax.

•Store BJ cartridges at room temperature.

•Keep BJ cartridges in their packaging until you are ready to use them. This is to prevent the BJ cartridge from drying out.

•Replace BJ cartridges after one year of use.

•Never remove the BJ cartridge unless you are going to replace it. When left exposed, the cartridge print head dries out, making it unusable.

•To change a BJ cartridge, be sure to press [Cartridge] to move the cartridge holder to the centre.

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

• Store BJ cartridges out of the reach of children.

If a child inadvertently ingests ink, consult a physician immediately.

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

Do not touch this area

The ink in the BJ cartridge is difficult to clean up if spilled. Follow the precautions below when handling the BJ cartridge.

•Carefully remove packaging from BJ cartridges.

•Do not attempt to disassemble or refill BJ cartridges.

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

*FAX-B180C will also accept Canon BC-21e Colour BJ cartridge. However, only black and white output is possible even with this cartridge. Colour output is only possible when the machine is used as a printer.
