Chapter 6
Maintaining the Printer
This chapter covers the care and maintenance of your Canon BJC-50
printer including instructions for transporting, storing, and cleaning the
printer, replacing BJ Cartridges, and cleaning the print head.
Your printer requires little maintenance but to keep it in top operating
condition, you should perform the following routine maintenance.
■
Recharging and replacing the battery pack
This section shows you how to recharge and replace your battery pack.
Install and use only a Canon Li-Ion Battery LB-50 in this printer. You
must install the battery pack and leave it installed in the printer even if
you intend to use the printer only with the AC adapter. If the battery pack
is not installed, the printer CHARGE/ERROR lamp will light orange and
the printer will beep six times.
Recharging the battery pack
When the power in the battery pack runs low, the CHARGE/ERROR
lamp flashes orange and the printer beeps four times. When the power
in the battery pack is depleted, the CHARGE/ERROR lamp lights
orange and the printer beeps twice (one long and one short beep).
Follow this procedure to recharge the battery pack.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY PACK WITH
ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE UNIVERSAL AC ADAPTER AD-360U
SUPPLIED.
For best results, charge the battery pack at room temperature 10°C to
30°C (50°F to 86°F). The battery pack will recharge very slowly at low
temperature and will not charge fully at high temperature.
