Re: [Digital BW] chips in an Epson 2200 specific to that color ?

2005-01-26 by Scott West

What would the printer do if the wrong cart was installed?  Would the 
ink button/light go solid red?

The reason I'm asking is that I had either an incorrect or bad chip on a 
new MIS C86 refillable clear M cartridge.  Resetting the chip didn't 
help.  Didn't think of trying the cartridge in different slots until 
after I swapped out the chip with a new one.
