[Digital BW] Re: MIS inks

2005-03-19 by Johnny Eades

I received my new 1280 spongeless carts yesterday and installed them. 
The red light came on and stayed on. I called MIS tech support and 
was given a suggestion that helped me solve that problem. On the cart 
there is a yellow square of plastic that has the chip attached to it. 
They said to slightly move it down and insert a piece of business 
card thick paper at the top so the yellow chipholder would not quite 
slide all the way back up. It took two pieces of card paper but that 
allowed the chip reader fingers on the printer to make correct 
contact with the chip. This batch of carts was returned to the 
manufacturer (all but mine?) and the newer batch that they have is 
correctly manufactured to eliminate that .025 inch error. They were 
very cordial and efficient in solving my problem even though it was 
right a their closing time.

Your friend in Photography,
