Storing Ink Cartridges
Follow these guidelines when storing your ink cartridges:
§ Keep a new ink cartridge in its sealed container until you are
ready to use it.
§ Store the ink cartridge at room temperature.
§ Install the ink cartridge in the printer immediately after you
open the sealed container.
§ After installing the ink cartridge, perform the print head
cleaning procedure.
Ink Cartridges Continually Run Out of Ink
If your ink cartridges seem to run out of ink before you
think they should, make sure you are following these
guidelines:
§ Make sure you turn off the printer only when the ink cartridge
is in the home position.
§ Only transport the printer when the ink cartridge is in the
home position. This caps the ink cartridge and prevents it from
damage or drying out. Be sure to tape the ink cartridge in
place.
This is not a portable printer. Take care when transporting it.
§ Install an ink cartridge immediately after opening its
protective packaging.
§ Only clean the print head when you are having print quality
problems.
§ Never unplug the printer or use a power strip to turn off the
printer when the printer's power is turned on.
Transporting the Printer
While the Bubble Jet Printer BJ-200e is small and compact, it is
not a portable printer and you need to take care when transporting
it. The printer's components, such as the sheet feeder, may become
damaged if subjected to severe vibration during transportation.
Also, your print head may dry out during travel (and become
unusable) it it is not capped correctly.
If you plan to move the printer from one location to
another, or if you want to store it, follow these steps:
1. Press the POWER button to turn off the printer. This
moves the print head to the home position.
2. Remove any paper from the sheet feeder.
3. Detach the interface cable and the power cord.
4. Open the front cover.
5. Tape the ink cartridge to the side of the printer.
