Frequently Asked Questions - BJC-250 CANON
How do I install the ink cartridges?
Open the front cover. The cartridge holder moves to the center. Insert the BC-20 black cartridge into the left slot and the BC-21e color cartridge into the right slot. Press down firmly until they click. Close the cover.
How do I clean the print head?
Press the Cleaning button on the printer or use the printer driver utility on your computer. The printer will run a cleaning cycle. Repeat if necessary. Avoid touching the print head nozzles.
What cables do I need to connect to a computer?
The BJC-250 uses a parallel (Centronics) cable. For modern computers without a parallel port, you need a USB-to-parallel adapter. Ensure the adapter is compatible with your operating system.
How do I clear a paper jam?
Turn off the printer and unplug it. Open the rear jam access cover. Gently pull the jammed paper out in the direction of the paper path. Do not tear the paper. Close the cover and restart the printer.
Why are my prints streaky or missing colors?
This is often due to a clogged print head. Run the print head cleaning utility 2-3 times. If the issue persists, replace the ink cartridge. Also check that you are using genuine Canon cartridges.
What do the blinking error lights mean?
A blinking Power light indicates a general error. A blinking Paper light means a paper jam or out of paper. A blinking Ink light indicates a low or empty ink cartridge. Refer to the manual for specific patterns.
Can I use this printer with Windows 10?
Windows 10 does not include native drivers for the BJC-250. You may try using the Windows 8.1 driver or use a generic Canon inkjet driver. Alternatively, connect via parallel port and use the driver from Canon's legacy support page.
How do I align the print heads?
Load a sheet of plain paper. Press and hold the Cleaning button for 3 seconds. The printer will print an alignment pattern. Choose the best block for each pattern using the printer driver utility or follow the on-printer instructions.
Can I use refill ink kits?
While possible, refill kits are not recommended as they can clog the print head and void the warranty. For best results, use genuine Canon BC-20 and BC-21e cartridges.
What should I do if the printer is making unusual noises?
Unusual noises may indicate a mechanical obstruction or worn gears. Turn off the printer, check for any loose objects inside. If noise persists, the printer may need servicing. Ensure the carriage moves freely without obstruction.
