1.5 Consumables
1.5.1 BJ cartridge (Color and Black)
Replacement BJ cartridges are the same as the ones supplied with the printer.
1.5.2 Ink cartridge
The consumable ink cartridges are the same as the ink cartridges installed in the BC-
11e color BJ cartridge and BC-10 black BJ cartridge. There are three types: BC-11e
black ink cartridge (BCI-11 black), color ink cartridge (BCI-11 color), and BC-10 black
ink cartridge (BCI-10 black).
The ink cartridges must be used within 6 months after the seal is opened.
Numbers of sheets printed:
BCI-11 Color ink cartridge
Black: Approx. 23 sheets (HQ mode) (7.5% duty per color pattern)
Color: Approx. 30 sheets (HQ mode) (7.5% duty per color pattern)
BCI-10 Black ink cartridge
Black: Approx. 140 sheets (HQ mode) (1500-character pattern)
1.5.3 Lithium ion battery (LB-50)
Over discharge can be prevented by regularly recharging the battery. Lithium ion
batteries do not have a memory effect and have a long lasting storage capacity. A
good indication of the service life of a battery is when the number of printouts or
duration of a charged battery starts to decrease. Replace the battery with a new one
when this happens.
