Re: R1800 for Paul Roark

2008-05-03 by Paul Whiting

Thanks, Roger and Espen both. I found them on the MIS website just fine. 

I am still puzzled a bit... these code numbers are sometimes so close,
and I find that sometimes different code numbers appear to be used for
the same item when the item appears in different parts of the site.
For example, if these are the same as for the R220, my invoice shows
that I have been using these for my R220:

MP-T0481K-SLC pre-filled with Eboni ink
and
SLC-2400-E empty cart (it is described as usuable in both the R220 and
the R1800, as you say... as well as some others. So the physical size
of all these must be the same.)

So if these are the same as for the R1800 as the ones you pointed me
too, it's odd that they would use different code numbers.

Guess I've got to stop trying to figure out their system and just go
for it.
