Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

I think that the chip resetter that MIS sells for the 7600 carts will  
also reset the chip on the maintenance tank.  You could clean out the  
tank and re-pack with an absorbent material like disposable diapers  
or sanitary napkins.  I've had my 4000 for one year now and have only  
had to change the maintenance tank once (I just bought a new one).
