Selecting and Installing a BJ Cartridge
Canon offers a number of Bubble Jet (BJ) cartridges to meet a wide range of
printing requirements. This section describes how to select the best BJ cartridge
for your needs, as well as how to install and maintain the cartridge.
The MultiPASS C50 comes with one BC-20 Black BJ cartridge and one BC-21 or
BC-21e Colour BJ cartridge.
Guidelines for Using and Maintaining BJ Cartridges
The most important thing you can do to ensure the best possible print quality, as
well as extend the life of your MultiPASS C50, is to take care of the MultiPASS
C50’s BJ cartridges following these guidelines:
½ Store cartridges at room temperature.
½ Keep cartridges in their sealed containers until you are ready to use them.
½ Install the cartridge immediately after removing its print head cap and
protective tape.
½ Always use the cartridge within one year of unpacking it.
½ When changing cartridges, always store the unused cartridge in the SB-21 BJ
cartridge container that comes with the MultiPASS C50.
½ Do not remove the cartridge from the MultiPASS C50 unless necessary.
The ink in the BJ cartridges is difficult to clean up if spilled. To avoid spilling ink,
always be sure to follow these precautions when handling the cartridges:
½ Do not attempt to disassemble or refill the cartridge.
½ Do not shake or drop the cartridge, or tip the print head downwards.
½ Keep BJ cartridges out of children’s reach.
