BJC-7100

Part 1: Safety and Precautions

2.3.3 Ink leakage and dry-out

Make sure a BJ cartridge is installed before turning off the power, using the POWER button.

When you turn off the printer using the POWER button, the printer automatically performs the following operations:

Cleaning

Any ink left in the purge unit or in the nozzles of the BJ cartridge is removed.

Capping

To prevent ink dry-out, the BJ cartridge's nozzles are capped automatically and the carriage is locked in position.

If you unplug the AC adapter by mistake, plug the power cord again, turn the power on and then off again using the POWER button, then unplug the AC adapter.

If you turn the power off or unplug the AC adapter when the BJ cartridge has been removed, the nozzles will not be automatically capped or the carriage locked in position, and hence there is a risk of ink leaking or dry-out.

If the power cannot be turned on due to some failure, manually move the carriage belt or the carriage itself to the capping position. For details, see

"Part 3: 2.2 Manual Capping" (page 3-13).

2.3.4 Carrying the printer

Hold both sides of the bottom of the printer to carry it. Note that inserting your hand into the paper outlet may dislodge or damage the paper guides.
