After removing the orange protective cap and tape, do not attempt to re-attach them to the BJ cartridge. Re-attaching the tape or cap can cause air bubbles, trap dirt or dust, and clog the ink nozzles. If the protective tape or cap has been re-attached, remove it. Install the BJ cartridge in the printer and clean the print heads immediately. Check 3 DID YOU PRINT ON THE CORRECT PRINT SIDE OF THE MEDIA?
