I'm not surprised that it's hard to find this information. The only
programming manual I have is for the 2000P, and it doesn't list any commands
for setting any sort of nonvolatile information into the printer, so my
guess is that this info is kept in the registry. If this is true, then QTR
either knows where it is or doesn't use it. On the other hand, I know there
is a command for resetting the chips on the carts, and that wasn't in the
manual, so the manual is obviously incomplete.
