Digital BW, The Print

The most economical way to use the system is to re-fill the carts.  For this
you'll want a chip re-resetter.  See the bottom of my Readme on the C86
(http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/C86-EZ-UT-Readme.htm) and the picture of the
resetter I have listed on my index (http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/index.htm)
just above the C86 section.  There is also a Russian program that can reset
the counters (http://www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml).

The carts that had the tapes on them may need a priming to get the fluid
going.  Air was probably sucked into the chamber just above the inlet.  See
the photo of the modified bottom fill adapter I use for priming, also just
above the C86 section.
