Re: [Digital BW] Advice needed... 4000 vs. 4800???

Quite right, if you reset the maintenance tank.  But if someone (me unfortunately) were to 
"reset counters" it costs a bundle.

I struggled and struggled to find the "reset maint tank" option, and finally thought "well 
this new firmware must be different" so I reset the counters.

A.  it costs a ton of ink

and 

B.  it fills whatever little maint tank space you had left.

So,

Power up holding down the 3 recommended buttons (paper mode and the two feeds as I 
recall).

At this point I saw something like "test mode" with a pointer to the right implying a 
submenu, and no additional choices on that level were implied to me; must have had my 
head in a bag.  No matter how hard I searched I couldn't find the described maint tank 
reset in the submenus.

I also couldn't left arrow back to "test mode..." once I had started down the submenu path.  
So I, well let's not go there.

Turns out the up and down arrows will move you from "test mode (or whatever)" to an 
option that is CLEARLY a maint tank reset.  That works great.
