ink cartridge, be sure to clean the print head before determining that you
need to replace the cartridge, be sure to clean the print head before
determining that you need to replace the cartridge. If you clean the print
head several times and your print quality does not improve, you need to

Installing the Ink Cartridge
NOTE: Print head cleaning is not a routine maintenance procedure.
Only clean the print head if your print quality is inadequate.
CAUTION: The Bubble Jet Printer BJ-200e was designed to be used
exclusively with Canon ink cartridges. Other inks may damage the print
head capping and cleaning devices in the printer. If you have problems
that are caused by using third-party ink or ink cartridges, your warranty
will be void.
CAUTION: Canon makes numerous ink cartridges; the BC-02 is
designed specifically for the Bubble Jet Printer BJ-200e and is the only
one you should use. Using the BC-01 cartridge will result in decreased
print quality.
