6 Avoid touching the yellow mounting base on which you place the cartridge--especially the circuit board on the side of the mounting base and the film cable that extends from the BJ cartridge holder.
Do not manually move the mechanism that houses the BJ cartridge. Attempting to move the BJ cartridge holder will damage the printer. Be sure there is no gap between the BJ cartridge and the cartridge holder. When secure, the BJ cartridge makes contact with the circuit board inside the cartridge holder.
