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.
❍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.
❍BC-23 Enhanced Black BJ Cartridge
Contains the print head unit and black ink only. When you run out of ink, you replace the complete cartridge.
Choosing Which BJ Cartridges to Use
Your BJC-5100 Series printer holds two BJ cartridges. The BJ cartridge holders are labeled 1 and 2.
The standard configuration is to install the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge in Holder 1 and the BC-23 Enhanced Black BJ Cartridge in Holder 2.
