BJ Cartridge and Ink Tank Maintenance The most important thing you can do to extend the life of your BJC-70 and to ensure optimum print quality is take care of the BJ cartridges. To ensure excellent print quality, follow these guidelines for maintaining the BJ cartridges: t If you are using both the BC-10 and BC-11 BJ cartridges, make sure you store the cartridge not being used in the BJ cartridge container. t Store BJ cartridges and ink tanks at room temperature and protect them from direct sunlight. t Keep BJ cartridges and ink tanks in their sealed containers until you are ready to use them. t Install the BJ cartridge in the printer or store in the BJ cartridge container immediately after opening the sealed container. t Keep the BJ cartridge in its home position (right side of the printer) when you are not using the printer. Leaving it out of its home position will cause the print head to dry out. t Perform the print head cleaning when your print quality is not satisfactory. (See page 101 for instructions.) t Replace a BJ cartridge when the print quality does not improve after one or two extensive print head cleanings. t Replace an ink tank when the print quality does not improve after one or two quick print head cleanings. t Do not remove the ink tanks from the BJ cartridges unnecessarily. This may cause the ink to clog. t Make sure both ink tanks are installed in the BC-11 Color BJ cartridge. Attempting to use the BC-11 Color BJ cartridge with one ink tank only may cause ink clogging. t If spilled, the ink is difficult to remove. Therefore, it's a good idea to keep the BJ cartridges and ink tanks out of the reach of children. t Do not touch the print head area on the BJ cartridge. Ink may leak out and cause stains.
