Figure 3-4 Removing the BJ Cartridge Protectors
Do not unpack the BJ cartridge until it is ready to be used.
Do not reuse the cap and tape, as doing so can clog the nozzles or mix the
ink colors.
Do not touch the nozzles when removing the tape. Scratching the head
face and ink contamination may result in poor printing.
Never touch or wipe the nozzles with tissue paper, etc. to prevent them
from clogging.
To prevent foreign matter or dried ink from clogging the nozzles, install the
BJ cartridge immediately in the printer or in the cartridge container after
removing the cap and peeling off the tape.
Clogged nozzles can cause white streaks across printed area. If this
problem persists even after the ink cartridge is cleaned by the printer,
replace the BJ cartridge.
Do not shake the BJ cartridge after removing the cap and tape, as ink may
leak from the cartridge.
BJ cartridges cannot be disassembled, reassembled, or washed.
