2.1.1Unpacking the BJ cartridge
Do not unpack the BJ cartridge until you are ready to use it.

Figure 1-8 Removing the BJ Cartridge Cap and Tape
If you replace the cap on the color BJ cartridge or photo BJ cartridge, the sponge in the cap may cause the colors to bleed into each other. The nozzles may also become clogged.
Always move the carriage to the BJ cartridge replacement position before attempting to remove or install a cartridge. Failure to do so may result in damage to the BJ cartridge.
2.1.2 BJ cartridge protection
To prevent the nozzles from clogging, never touch or wipe the nozzles, joint pipes, or ink tank outlets with your bare hands or with tissue paper, etc. After removing the cap and peeling off the protective tape from a BJ cartridge, promptly install the cartridge in the printer or store it in the cartridge holder. If the BJ cartridge is not capped or stored in the cartridge holder, the nozzles may clog due to dried out ink or dust, etc.
Do not attempt to leave color BJ cartridges or photo BJ cartridges with their ink tanks removed.
BJ cartridges cannot be disassembled, reassembled, or washed.
Clogged nozzles cause faulty printing. If this problem persists even after the nozzles are cleaned, replace the BJ cartridge.
