Digital BW, The Print

I'd better correct my post... it was in reply to John's questions about 1400 carts, and my comments were directed at the behavior of my 1900 carts, which I did not mention. Michael has clarified that the 1900 behavior may be unique. I had 2 sets of 1400 carts from 2 sources, and honestly don't recall the specifics of their reset characteristics, other than mixing up the sets does not work...
