Digital BW, The Print

Thank you.
To be clear,yes I got one too when I bought a CFS. But Barbara, by
stating she had a CIS (not a CFS) implies that she bought it from a
distributer of the manufacterer nomorecarts...a different design than
the one sold by MIS and not affliaeted with it. When you buy a CIS
therefore, you do NOT get a bottom fill adapter kit, however, I'm
assuming the carts are similar enough that the trick will work on them
as well.
