BJC-6500 Part 2: MAINTENANCE 2.2.3 Precautions for transporting the printer When turned off by the POWER button, the BJ cartridges are capped and the carriage is locked in place at the capping position by the lock arm. When the printer cannot be powered off by the POWER button for transportation, etc., move the carriage to the capping position by hand and secure it with tape before transporting the printer.

The tips of the spurs make contact with printed paper and are contaminated with ink, but due to their small surface contact area, the tips, cleaned by the spur cleaners, will not stain the printed paper. However, if the tips are bent and their contact surface area increases, they collect more ink and are not easily cleaned by the spur cleaners, and thereby stain the printed paper by making dotted lines on it.

2.2.3 Precautions for transporting the printer
When turned off by the POWER button, the BJ cartridges are capped and the carriage
is locked in place at the capping position by the lock arm.
When the printer cannot
be powered off by the POWER button for transportation, etc., move the carriage to the
capping position by hand and secure it with tape before transporting the printer.
2.2.4 Precautions on spur tip deformation
Take care not to bend the tips of the spurs.
The tips of the spurs make contact with
printed paper and are contaminated with ink, but due to their small surface contact
area, the tips, cleaned by the spur cleaners, will not stain the printed paper.
However, if the tips are bent and their contact surface area increases, they collect
more ink and are not easily cleaned by the spur cleaners, and thereby stain the
printed paper by making dotted lines on it.
