Replacing a BJ Cartridge
Follow this procedure to replace the BJ Cartridge.
The Black BJ Cartridge BC-10, Color BJ Cartridge BC-11e and BJ
Cartridge BC-12e Photo were designed specially for this printer. Never
attempt to use any other type of cartridge with this printer.
1.
Check the printer POWER lamp and make sure that it is switched
on. If the printer is off, press the POWER button to switch it on.
2.
Press the CARTRIDGE button. The cartridge holder moves to the
centre and the POWER lamp flashes.
• You can use the printer driver screen to replace or switch the BJ
Cartridge. For details, see the Windows Printer Driver Guide or the
Macintosh Printer Drive Guide.

different. (

• If the print head is overheated, it may not move to the centre
immediately. Wait a few minutes for the print head to cool down. Never
attempt to move the cartridge manually by pushing it or pulling on the
film cable.

same procedure used to replace a Color BJ Cartridge BC-11e with a
Black BJ Cartridge BC-10. (☞51)
Dispose of the old BJ Cartridge immediately.
You may want to place it in a plastic bag to prevent spillage from the
print head.
