frustration with chip resetting

2002-10-24 by Bill Agee

Recently I began resetting a 1280 using pig carts from MIS.  I am 
getting quite frustrated because I get about a 50% success rate with 
the procedure.  Until my old reliable 1270 finally bit the dust, I 
had a much higher rate of success...

Am I finally going to have to get a CIS to eliminate this problem?

Have just ordered a 7600 and that will be a Godsend with those big 
carts...however won't get it for several weeks.  I would still like 
to be able to use the 1280...maybe I will just have to switch  it 
back to Epson dye inks and use it as a color proofer on print 
jobs...at least their chips work all the time.

Any suggestions would be helpful.  I have tried pulling the plug 
while the head is on the left side and being loaded, just to avoid 
any shorting out of the chip...doesn't seem to make any difference 
one way or another.

feeling electronically challenged tonight,
