■ Always hold a BJ Cartridge by the sides. Never touch the print head or
the metal contacts around the print heads.
■ Never shake a BJ Cartridge or set it down on the print heads.
■ Always store unused BJ Cartridges and ink tanks out of reach of children.
■ After the BJ Cartridges and ink tanks have been installed, never remove
them unnecessarily. If you exchange the Black BJ Cartridge BC-80 and
Color BJ Cartridge BC-82 Photo, always store the extra cartridge in the BJ
Cartridge Container SB-80 to prevent it from drying out. (☞ 90)
Follow this procedure to install the BJ Cartridges.
The ink tanks are installed after the BJ Cartridges are installed in
the printer.
