Re: Epson "chip reset" kit

2002-02-08 by tomoc

I believe the NoMoreCarts flavors of ink systems will reset to full 
for the chipped carts, but that the CFS (MIS) system requires a 
manual reset each time the "cart" amount of ink is used. The offset 
is that the MIS system has a nice screen in the cart and the CIS does 
not.
