Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install BCI-6 cartridges in the multiPASS MPC600F if it uses BCI-3e?
While both cartridge types belong to the same Canon BCI family, the multiPASS MPC600F specifically requires the BCI-3eBK high-capacity black cartridge slot for standard document printing. Installing a BCI-6 black cartridge may cause seating issues or improper ink feeding due to physical shell variations.
Why does the BCI-3eBK black ink cartridge run out faster during heavy faxing?
Incoming faxes print at standard monochrome text densities, using pure black ink without draft-mode economising. Because fax reception does not trigger automatic ink-saver settings, high-volume fax environments deplete the BCI-3eBK cartridge quicker than typical draft text printing.
How does the BCI-3e ink cartridge system handle prolonged periods between print jobs?
The BCI-3eBK is an individual ink cartridge that feeds a separate printhead assembly. If the printer sits idle for several weeks, storing cartridges in a cool environment prevents ink viscosity changes near the sponge feed mechanism, ensuring smooth ink flow when printing resumes.
