Re: CFS Carts Running out of ink

2002-04-01 by tzinzunzan2000

If I understand you correctly, you're getting a message telling you 
that you're running out of ink when in fact you still have plenty of 
ink in your CFS bottles. What you need to do is lightly push down 
the "sponges" that sit at the front of the carts on your system. This 
will signal to the printer that you have "reloaded" it with full 
carts. I think MIS discusses this somewhere in their directions for 
CFS setup. BTW, a few months agoI confronted the same situation and 
someone on this list helped me out.
