Resetting the Bulk Ink Cartridges

Each Chip Block contains smart chips that are designed to count the number of
ink drops dispensed. After a certain amount of ink has been used, a typical inkjet
cartridge chip tells the printer it is out of ink. However, this system is impractical
for a continuous-fl ow Bulk Ink System.
We have equipped each chip block with a new set of smart chips that are
designed to always read Full, but if you print all day long, the chip may still
believe the cartridge is low on ink when in reality it is not. Should this occur, the
T-Jet3 PLUS Low Ink Indicator lights will warn you that you are low on ink by either
fl ashing or remaining solid.
