BJ cartridges, make sure you store the cartridge not being used in
the Ink Cartridge Storage Box.

are ready to use them.

unnecessarily. This may cause the ink to clog.

BJ Cartridge.Attempting to use the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge
with one BJ tank only may cause ink clogging.

keep the BJ cartridges and BJ tanks out of the reach of children.

out and cause stains.

Hold the BJ cartridge on the sides only. Do not touch the silver plate on
the bottom of the BJ cartridge or the silver metal or circuit area on the
