Using the Setup Analyzer

The Setup Analyzer allows the printer driver to evaluate your choice of printing settings. On the Setting tab, you click on the green ✔ to enable the Setup Analyzer. Click on the red symbol to disable it.

When you exit the printer driver and accept your printing settings by clicking the OK button, the Setup Analyzer (if enabled) checks to see if any of your settings are contrary to the recommended settings.

If there are inconsistencies, a dialog box similar to this appears:

The inconsistencies appear with check boxes. You can use the dialog box buttons to select or deselect the inconsistencies and/or fix or ignore the inconsistencies.

Using Cartridge Detection

Use Cartridge Detection if you want the driver to alert you when the installed BJ cartridge is not the correct choice to use with your Color

Setting tab, click on the green ✔. Click on the red symbol to disable it.

If Cartridge Detection cannot detect the cartridge type, it advises you to check that your printer is on-line and that the cables are secure.

If you choose the Monochrome Color Model and you have a BC-21e

Color BJ Cartridge installed, you’ll see:
