Paper thickness lever
Identifies the thickness of your paper. The setting you choose adjusts the
distance between the print head and the paper. There are two settings:
left for normal paper and right for thick paperor envelopes. (After you
remove the tape that protects this lever during shipping, slide the lever
to the left.)
Assembling the Printer
Now that you are familiar with the components of your printer, you are
ready to install the printer and connect it to your computer. The first
step is to install the ink cartridge.
Installing the Ink Cartridge
You use the BC-02 ink cartridge with this printer. Each ink cartridge
can print about 400 to 500 letter-size pages (700,000 characters) in HQ
mode and 800 to 1000 pages (1,400,000 characters) in HS mode. The
actual amount varies according to the print density of a page. If you
print a lot of graphics, you may need to change cartridges more often.
CAUTION: Canon makes numerous ink cartridges; teh BC-02 is
desginged specifically for the Bubble Jet Printers BJ-200 and BJ-230 and is
the only one you should use.
