RE: [Digital BW] Problems with MIS EZN in C86

2005-11-26 by Paul Roark

If a lot of air has gotten above the inlet, priming the cart is the best way
to remove it.  Of course, this takes a syringe and modified MIS bottom fill
adapter, and it wastes ink.  My version of a modified bottom fill adapter is
shows at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/Mod_Bot_Fill.jpg, MIS has another
approach.  See the bottom of my Readme on the C86, at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/C86-EZ-UT-Readme.htm , for my suggestions on
how to most cheaply use the C86 EZ system.
