Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,

 

They must have a chip as they communicate with the printer for a variety of
reasons (ink level, etc.).  However, I don't remember seeing the chip
hanging out on the side of a cartridge.  There are shaped "plugs" on the
bottom of each cartridge that ensure the right cartridge is put into the
right slot.  The chip/communication system must be inside the plastic plug
somehow.

 

I have not looked at this all that carefully.  I will check it out this
weekend and let you know what I find.

 

George

I assume the carts have some sort of chip on them. Correct?
