BJ Cartridge and Ink Tank Maintenance
The most important thing you can do to extend the life of your
To ensure excellent print quality, follow these guidelines for maintaining the BJ cartridge:
❏Store BJ cartridges and ink tanks at room temperature and protect them from direct sunlight.
❏Keep BJ cartridges and ink tanks in their sealed containers until you are ready to use them.
❏Install the BJ cartridge in the printer immediately after opening the sealed container.
❏Keep the BJ cartridge in its home position (right side of the printer) when you are not using the printer. Leaving it out of its home position will cause the print head to dry out.
❏Perform the print head cleaning when your print quality is not satisfactory. (See page 79 for instructions.)
❏Replace an ink tank when your print quality does not improve after one or two quick print head cleanings.
❏Replace a BJ cartridge when the print quality does not improve after one or two extensive print head cleanings.
❏Do not remove the ink tank from the BJ cartridge unnecessarily. This may cause the ink to clog.
❏If spilled, the ink is difficult to remove. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep the BJ cartridges and ink tanks out of the reach of children.
❏Do not touch the print head area on the BJ cartridge. Ink may leak out and cause stains.
CHold the BJ cartridge on the sides only. Do not touch the silver plate or circuit area on the side of the BJ cartridge. The metal area may become hot during printing.
