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. 9-6.

Guidelines ____________________________________

• Use only a Canon BX-3 Black BJ cartridge in your fax.
• Store BJ cartridges at room temperature.
• When the BJ cartridge print head is left exposed, it easily dries out and becomes unusable. To
avoid this, follow these recommendations:
–Keep BJ cartridges in the packaging until you are ready to use them.
–Never remove the BJ cartridge unless you are going to replace it.
–Keep the cartridge holder in the home position (on the right side of the fax) when you are not
using the fax.
• Replace BJ cartridges after one year of use, even if you have not been alerted to replace it.
nIf you need to unplug the fax, wait until it returns to standby mode (date and receive mode displayed
on the LCD). Otherwise the cartridge holder may not be in its home position; causing the BJ
cartridge to remain uncapped and dry out.
c• Store BJ cartridges out of the reach
of children. If anyone inadvertently
ingests ink, consult a physician
immediately.
• Do not touch the metallic areas on the
BJ cartridge.
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.
Do not touch these metallic areas.
