Digital BW, The Print

Hello andy,

Only swap what's completely empty.  Here's a way to avoid the cleaning
cycles:  After swapping the cart, do NOT press the ink button.  Let it
sit for 5 minutes for the ink in the new cart to flow down into the
head (this prevents air from blocking a nozzle and requiring a
cleaning cycle).  Then turn the printer off for a few seconds, then
turn it back on. It will start back up in ready mode without a
cleaning cycle.

Clayton
