Installing the BJ Cartridges

This section describes how to install the BJ Cartridges in the printer. The BJ Cartridges must be installed in the printer before you install the ink tanks.

Two BJ Cartridges must always be installed in the cartridge holder.

This printer employs two BJ Cartridges: the Black BJ Cartridge BC-80 and the Color BJ Cartridge BC-81. An additional BJ Cartridge, the Color BJ Cartridge BC-82 Photo, is also available to replace the Black BJ Cartridge BC-80 for special print jobs.

Always follow these important guidelines regarding BJ Cartridges:

■Never attempt to install a BJ Cartridge of another manufacturer.

■Each BJ Cartridge is equipped with slots to hold specially designed ink tanks. You must always use the correct ink tanks for the BJ Cartridges.

■The Color BJ Cartridge BC-82 Photo holds three ink tanks (Cyan, Black, Magenta). This cartridge is designed to deliver photo-realistic prints of photographic images on High Resolution Paper HR-101. For details about the driver settings for this special BJ Cartridge, refer to Windows Print Guide or the Macintosh Print Guide.

■BJ Cartridges are delicate and the ink tanks contain wet ink, so always handle them carefully.

■Do not unwrap a BJ Cartridge until you are ready to install it.

■Install a BJ Cartridge in the cartridge holder as soon as you unwrap it and remove the protective cap.
