Hold the BJ cartridge by its sides only. Do not touch the print head, the sharp edges around the print head, the silver plate on the bottom of the cartridge, or the silver metal or circuit area on its side.

PRINT HEAD

JMake sure the BJ cartridge holder is in its home position (on the right side of the unit) when you are not using the MultiPASS C50. If it is not in its home position, press the CARTRIDGE button. Leaving it out of its home position will dry out the print head on the cartridge.

JClean the print head when print quality is no longer satisfactory. See ºCleaning and Testing the BJ Cartridge Print Headº on page 9-9 for instructions. If the print quality does not improve after ®ve consecutive cleanings, replace the ink tank or BJ cartridge.

JDo not use a BC-21/21e Colour BJ cartridge with either of its ink tanks missing. Doing so can cause it to clog.

JDo not remove the ink tanks from the BC-21/21e Colour BJ cartridge unnecessarily, or the ink in them may clog.

JNever attempt to re®ll an empty cartridge.
