Digital BW, The Print

I just set up a new 2400 and went through 1/2 of original inkset due 
to corrupted file and difficult installation.  Having gone through 
this $ wasting experience I searched the forum for preventing the 
cleaning cycle in this particular printer to no avail.

Is there a way to bypass the cleaning cycle in the Epson 2400?  
Anyone?  Thanks.

Yes, I'd like to know the secret to that too.  It drives me crazy when I
have one cart flashing low and one or more carts low but not flashing.  I
change the low one, it goes through the priming sequence and when I think
I'm good to go the others are now flashing.  If only the new cart was primed
but then they wouldn't sell as much ink would they.

I thought I read if you unplug the printer after you press the ink button
and the head moves you can change a cart, plug it back in and the there
won't be a prime cycle.  I tried that but it still went through priming.

You can save some cleaning cycles by leaving the printer on all the time.

Thanks, Bert. That does save a few.  I'm interested in saving more 
when I switch out cart.
