1.3 Product-Inherent Cautions
1.3.1 Prevention of ink-soiling
Be careful when handling the BJ ink cartridge nozzle, the ink pad, head cap, head wiper and
waste ink pad. Residual ink may soil the main unit, working surfaces, your hands and clothes,
etc. The ink is water-soluble, but because it contains pigments, it will not wash out of clothes.
The ink does not contain any substances that are harmful to humans, but does contain organic
solvents (isopropyl alcohol 67-63-0, diethylene glycol 111-46-6, glycerin 56-81-5 and ethylene
glycol 107-21-1). If the ink should accidentally get into someone’s eyes, rinse the affected eye
with plenty of clean water and seek medical attention. If a large quantity of ink is accidentally
swallowed, seek medical advice immediately. In such a case, let the doctor know exactly what
is written on the BJ cartridge label.
1.3.2 Conductivity of the ink
The ink used in the BJ cartridge is conductive. This means that, if the ink leaks, mechanical
parts should be wiped with a dampened paper towel or similar and electrical circuits wiped with
tissue paper so that all ink is removed from below the IC chips.
If power is switched on while ink is leaking on the electrical circuits, the circuitry may short out
and be damaged. If ink is leaking, the power must be switched off.
