Replacing the BJ Cartridge, Using Ink | Canon C3500 guide

Using Ink

Canon has more engineers dedicated to creating quality ink for providing the best results for output on Bubble Jet printers than any other organization. Canon does not prohibit the use of third-party inks and the use of third-party inks does not invalidate the product’s limited warranty. However, Canon cannot guarantee the quality or performance of your printer when you are using inks from other suppliers.

Canon’s limited warranty does not cover damage caused to Canon’s Bubble Jet products that is attributable to the use of third party parts or supplies, including inks. The limited warranty remains in effect for its life once that particular damage has been properly repaired.

NFor optimum printing results, Canon recommends that you use the Canon BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge or the optional Canon BC-20 Black, BC-22e Photo, and BC-29F Neon BJ Cartridges with your MultiPASS.

When replacing BJ tanks in the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge, Canon recommends that you use the Canon BCI-21 Color and BCI-21 Black BJ Tanks.

Replacing the BJ Cartridge

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 any of the following conditions exist:

❍You have been using the cartridge for over one year.

❍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 five times.

❍You see the CHANGE CARTRIDGE message in the LCD.
