2. MACHINE PRECAUTIONS
2.1 Precautions for Handling BJ Cartridges
2.1.1 Turning the printer ON/OFF
The printer will automatically cap the cartridge heads one minute after printing
operations are completed, to prevent the ink from leaking or drying out.
When unplugging the power cord, wait at least one minute after completing an
operation such as printing, feeding paper, cleaning the print head, etc.
If the power cord is accidentally unplugged before one minute has passed, replug the
AC adapter and wait for more than one minute before unplugging the power cord.
If the nozzles are not capped, the ink may leak or dry out, causing the
nozzles to clog.
2.1.2 When the printer is not in use
BJ cartridges should be stored either installed in the printer or in the BJ cartridge
container.
If the BJ cartridge is removed from the printer or BJ Cartridge Container,
the ink may leak or dry out, causing the nozzles to clog.
2.1.3 Transportation precautions
When transporting the printer, follow the procedure below.
1) Disconnect the interface cable and AC power cord as described above in
Part 3: 1.3

2) Put the BJ cartridge in the BJ cartridge container.
3) Repack the printer in its original box and packing materials.

shock-absorbing materials.
