Ink out override? Cross posted

Ink out override? Cross posted

2005-03-02 by Mark Savoia

Question to the group: Epson 9600. I get the ink low warning, pull the 
cart and weight 210g. I get the ink out (printing stops) at weight of 
208g. A full cart weights 384g and a totally empty cart weights 160g. I 
know I do not want to go TOO low to suck air or settlement out of 
bottom of cart but 40g of ink in the trash. Does anyone know how to 
override this "feature"?
Thanks,
Mark

40g (about 40ml) sounds like about twice what you should have.

Have you upgraded your 9600 to the latest firmware? The initial firmware left way too much ink in  acart. Epson got closer to home (without going over) in the later firmware.

Sorry, that's all I've got on this one...
