Ink Leakage And Dry-Out; Carrying The Printer - Canon QY8-1360-000 Service Manual

BJC-7100

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.

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.
Figure 1-14 Capping Position
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).
