You need to use a hexadecimal editor (such a HDD Software's 'Hex Editor' v2.0) to insert null data before each of the 4 banks of code/data in your bin so that the banks start at 0x2000. It's good practice to fill the null data with values of 0xFF.

Each of the 4 banks needs 0x2000 of null data inserting before it. Additionally, you need to insert 0x2000 of null data at the end of bank 1.
