Ink Leakage Prevention - Canon BJC-5000 Service Manual

BJC-5000 Part 1: Safety and Precautions

2.3.3 Ink leakage prevention

Transport, pack, or store the printer with the BJ cartridge installed in the printer.
Otherwise, the ink in the purge unit could flow backward and spill out inside the
printer. Before packing the printer, make sure the carriage is at the capping position
(the right end of the carriage shaft).
The nozzles of the BJ cartridge are automatically capped when the printer is turned off
by pressing the POWER button . Do not unplug the AC power cord of the AC adapter
before turning off the printer with the POWER button . Otherwise, the printer will be
stopped without capping the nozzles, which could cause ink leaks and ink bonding.
In case this happens, plug in the AC power cord, turn on the printer by pressing the
POWER button , turn it off by pressing the POWER button , and then unplug the AC
power cord again.
