Refilling MIS Carts for C86
2005-04-19 by mastedward
Awhile ago I saw some questions posed here regarding refilling MIS carts without removing them from the printer. I decided to try refilling a cartridge in the printer, before it was completely empty (when the exclamation point appeared in the level indicator for that cartridge). I removed the plug (the small ice-pick like device in a miniature screwdriver set works well for this) and injected about 9ml of ink and re-inserted the plug. The printer then worked fine, but the ink level indicator continued to show the exclamation point (low ink) for that cartridge. So ultimately I did have to remove the cartridge and reset the chip. Did not have to prime the cartridge, however. Just my experience for anyone else who has the same idea . . .
