Canon BJC6500 - BJC 6500 Color Inkjet Printer, Service Manual, Page: 32 / 115

The BJ cartridge ejects ink onto the paper during printing. After the printer is used
for a long period or used heavily, ink mist bouncing back from the paper could
accumulate and contaminate the platen (including the left and right paper guide
plates), front cover, as well as the periphery of the purge unit.
Carefully wipe off the ink mist with a dampened soft cloth so that hands or clothing
will not be stained by contaminated parts during servicing.
2.2.2 Precautions for damage due to static electricity
Static electricity may be generated by your clothes rubbing against each other and
may accumulate in your body. If you touch electrical elements, the discharge of static
electricity could damage them or change their electrical characteristics. For this
reason, avoid touching the ink sensor contacts or the printer's BJ cartridge contacts.
