Table of Contents

Windows 98 and Windows 3.1 users

All the Printer Properties dialog boxes shown in this Guide are for Windows 95. If you are using Windows

98, the screens are almost identical and are used in precisely the same way.

If you are running Windows 3.1, the design of the Printer Driver Setup window differs slightly and the

screens are used differently as a result. Refer to the “Quick Start Guide” and the printer driver help

screens for details.

Safety Precautions

Choosing a location

Do not place the printer close to flammable

solvents such as alcohol or thinners.

If flammable solvents

come in contact with

electrical components

inside the printer, such

substances could cause a

fire or electric shock.

Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively

bend or twist the power cord. Do not place

heavy objects on the power cord.

Power leaking from a

damaged power cord could

cause a fire or electric

shock.

Please read the safety warnings provided in this manual to ensure that you use the printer safely. Do

not attempt to use the printer in any way not described in this manual as this could result in

unforeseen printer faults or cause a fire or electric shock.

Warning

Never plug the printer into a power socket that

is shared with other equipment (power board,

double adapter, etc.). This could cause a fire or

electric shock.

Never use the printer while the power cord is

bundled or knotted. This could cause a fire or

electric shock.

If you detect smoke, unusual odours or strange

noises around the printer, immediately press the

POWER button to switch the printer off and

always unplug the power cord.

Continuing to use the

printer in these

circumstances could cause

a fire or electric shock.

Call for service.

Power supply

Never attempt to plug the power cord into the

power outlet or unplug the power cord when

your hands are wet. This could cause an

electric shock.

Always push the plug all the way into the power

outlet. A loose or poorly inserted

plug could cause a fire or

electric shock.

Cleaning the printer

Use a damp cloth to clean the printer. Never

use flammable solvents such as alcohol,

benzene or thinners. If flammable solvents

come in contact with

electrical components

inside the printer, such

substances could cause a

fire or electric shock.

Choosing a location

Do not install the printer in a location that is

unstable or subject to excessive vibration.

The printer could tip over

or fall and cause injury.

Safety Precautions

Warning Caution

Always unplug the printer from the power outlet

when you are cleaning the printer.

If you mistakenly switch

the printer on while

cleaning it, you could

touch moving internal

printer components and

suffer injury.

Other

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the

printer. The printer contains high-

voltage components that

could cause a fire or

electric shock

Do not use inflammable sprays near the printer.

Gases in the spray could

cause a fire or electric

shock if they come in

contact with electrical

components inside the

printer.

Do not install the printer in locations that are

very humid or dusty, in direct sunlight, or close

to a heating appliance or fireplace.

To avoid the risk of fires or

electric shocks, install the

printer in a location with

an ambient temperature

range of 41°F to 95°F and

humidity of 10% to 90%

(condensation free).

Do not place the printer on rugs or carpets with

a deep pile. Fibres or dust entering the

printer could cause a fire.

Keep the power outlet for the printer free of all

obstacles so you can unplug the power cord at

any time. Such obstacles could

prevent you from

unplugging the printer

when a printer fault occurs

and cause a fire or electric

shock.

When you are carrying the printer, always use

both hands and hold the printer by both ends.

When you are moving the

printer to another location,

keep it stable so that you

do not drop it and cause

injury.

Caution

Other

Never put your hands or fingers in the printer

while it is printing. The printer contains

moving parts that could

cause injury.

Do not place metal objects (paper clips, staples,

etc.) or containers of flammable solvents

(alcohol, thinners. etc.) on top of the printer.

Such objects could fall or

spill into the printer and

cause a fire or electric

shock.

If any foreign object (metal or liquid) enters the

printer, switch the printer off, unplug the power

cord and call for service.

Continued use of the

printer when a foreign

object has fallen into the

printer could cause a fire

or electric shock.

Power supply

Always grasp the plug when you unplug the

power cord. Unplugging the power

cord by pulling on the cord

can damage the cord and

cause a fire or electric

shock.

Do not use an extension cord.

This can cause a fire or

electric shock.

Never use a power supply voltage other than

that supplied in the country of purchase.

Using the incorrect voltage

could cause a fire or

electric shock. The correct

power supply voltage and

frequency is as follows:

USA/Canada:

AC 100-120V, 50-60Hz

UK/Australia:

AC 220-240V, 50-60Hz

Regulations for the United Kingdom

This equipment is approved under approval

number NS/G/12345/J/100003 for indirect

connection to public telecommunication

systems in the United Kingdom, i.e. when

connected to the correct interface of a type

approved apparatus in accordance with the

instructions for use of that apparatus.

If you are uncertain about the connection

arrangement, seek the help of a qualified

engineer.

Notes on using the printer near

fluorescent lamps

Allow at least 15 cm clearance between the

printer and any fluorescent lamp. Electrical

noise generated by a fluorescent lamp

placed too close to the printer will cause

printer malfunctions.

Notes on switching the printer off

To switch the printer off, always press the

POWER button on the printer and check

that the POWER lamp has gone off.

Switching the printer off by simply

unplugging the power cord from the power

outlet may make further printing impossible.

Safety Precautions

BJ Cartridges and ink tanks

For safety reasons store BJ Cartridges and ink

tanks out of the reach of small children.

If a child inadvertently

licks a BJ Cartridge or ink

tank or ingests any ink,

consult a physician

immediately.

Do not subject BJ Cartridges or ink tanks to

shocks or excessive vibration.

This could cause the ink to

leak out and stain your

clothing or the

surroundings.

Do not touch the metal contacts on a

BJ Cartridge after printing.

The metal parts may be

very hot and could cause

burns.

Printing

POWER lamp

Check that the printer is switched on and

that the paper is loaded into the printer.

If the POWER lamp is off press the POWER button to

switch the printer on.

If no paper is loaded, load some paper into

the sheet feeder. (page 8)

application program and click Properties in the

Print window.

Click to start printing.

Select the BJ

are using.

(page 10)

Select the

media to be

used.

(page 12)

Select the

appropriate icon

for the type of

document you

are printing.

Reference

You should specify the paper size in the

application software. However, the first

time you print a document, click the

Paper tab and check that the Page Size setting matches the size

specified in the application software.

The next steps are performed from your PC.

Loading the paper

Pull out the printer’s paper rest

and paper output tray and check

that the printer is switched on.

Fan the edges of the paper and

then align the edges neatly by

tapping them against a flat

surface.

Loading the paper without first

fanning and aligning the edges

could cause paper jams.

Load the paper.

1Load the stack of paper into the

sheet feeder with the print side

upwards and the edges aligned

against the right side of the sheet

feeder.

2Slide the paper guide snug

against the left side of the paper

Removing the printouts

For plain paper, remove the printed pages after about 20 pages have been output

Take care not to touch the printed side of the paper until the ink is fully dry.

Note that the time required for the ink to dry varies for different media types

(page 13).

Whenever possible

hold the paper by

the edges and

avoid touching the

print side. Any

scratching or

soiling of the print

side will adversely

affect the print

quality.

As a general guide,

the sheet feeder

holds up to 130

sheets of plain

paper (64 gsm).

However, ensure

that the loaded

paper does not

exceed the load

limit mark on the

sheet feeder.

print modes, but only four colors

(cyan, magenta, yellow and black)

will be used.

or scanner using the BC-62e Photo BJ Cartridge, you must select the correct

print settings in the printer driver Printer Properties dialog box. This

explanation describes how to specify the settings when you are printing on

plain paper.
