BJ Cartridge Guidelines
You can use these cartridges with the printer:
❍
BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge
Contains the print head unit and two replaceable
BJ tanks—the BCI-21 Color BJ Tank contains color ink
(cyan, magenta, yellow) and the BCI-21 Black BJ Tank
contains black ink. You can replace the BJ tanks
without replacing the print head unit when you run
out of ink. Use this cartridge for high quality color printing.
❍
BC-20 Black BJ Cartridge
Contains the print head unit and black ink only. Use
this cartridge for high speed, black ink only printing.
When you run out of ink, you replace the complete
cartridge.
❍
BC-22e Photo BJ Cartridge
Contains the print head unit and color and black inks.
Use this cartridge when you want to produce photo-
quality color printing. When used with Canon’s High
Resolution Paper or Glossy Photo Paper, this ink
produces images comparable to your favorite photographs.
When you run out of ink, you replace the complete cartridge.
When you install this cartridge, you must set up the printer
driver for a Print Mode of Photo, SuperPhoto, or Camera;
see page 2-12.
The actual amount of ink that you use will vary depending on the print
density of a page. If the majority of your output is graphics, you may
need to change cartridges or tanks more often than when you are
printing text only. See Appendix A, Specifications, for details on the life
expectancy of the BJ cartridges.
You may need to replace the BJ cartridge or a BJ tank when 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 at least three
to five times.
