BJ Cartridge Guidelines

You can use these cartridges with the printer:

❍BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge

Contains the print head unit and two replaceable

BJ tanks—the BCI-21 Color BJ Tank contains color ink (cyan, magenta, yellow) and the BCI-21 Black BJ Tank contains black ink. You can replace the BJ tanks without replacing the print head unit when you run

out of ink. Use this cartridge for high quality color printing.

❍BC-20 Black BJ Cartridge

Contains the print head unit and black ink only. Use this cartridge for high speed, black ink only printing. When you run out of ink, you replace the complete cartridge.

❍BC-22e Photo BJ Cartridge

Contains the print head unit and color and black inks. Use this cartridge when you want to produce photo- quality color printing. When used with Canon’s High Resolution Paper or Glossy Photo Paper, this ink produces images comparable to your favorite photographs. When you run out of ink, you replace the complete cartridge. When you install this cartridge, you must set up the printer driver for a Print Mode of Photo, SuperPhoto, or Camera; see page 2-12.

The actual amount of ink that you use will vary depending on the print density of a page. If the majority of your output is graphics, you may need to change cartridges or tanks more often than when you are printing text only. See Appendix A, Specifications, for details on the life expectancy of the BJ cartridges.

You may need to replace the BJ cartridge or a BJ tank when your printed output is not crisp and clear and there are gaps in the characters (missing dots)—even after you have cleaned the print head at least three to five times.
