❏
Clean the print head only when you encounter a print quality
problem or when you have installed a new BX-2 or BC-02 ink
cartridge. Unnecessary and repetitious print head cleaning
wastes ink.
Ink Cartridge Guidelines
Use only the Canon BX-2 or BC-02 ink cartridge with the
MultiPASS 1000.
Each ink cartridge contains enough ink to print about 700 pages in
standard mode and 1400 pages in economy mode (based on CCITT
#1 Chart).
The actual amount of ink that you use will vary depending on the
print density of a page. If the majority of your printed output is
graphics, you may need to change the ink cartridge more often
than when you are receiving or printing text only.
You may need to replace the ink cartridge when either of the
following conditions exist:
❏
Your printed output is not crisp and clear, and there are gaps
in the characters (missing dots) even after you have cleaned
the print head once or twice and you have removed and
reinstalled the ink cartridge a few times.
❏
You have been using the ink cartridge for over six months.
N
Canon makes numerous ink cartridges; the BX-2 and BC-02 ink
cartridge are designed to be used with the MultiPASS 1000 and are
the only ones you should use.
