Cartridge removal
in [Printers]

From: Dave C. on 12 Jun 2010 16:44 I notice in my Brother MFC-495CW printer manual, there is a strong caution about removal of an ink cartridge unless it needs replacement. In other words, the cartridge should not be taken out and then in repeatedly except for replacement. What is the down side of doing this? Dave C.

Spending the next two days trying to wash the ink off your hands, desk, and carpet.

Usually it will reset the ink indicator to full, when in reality, it isn't.

Ah, that makes sense. It is written up like it's a calamity. Regards, Dave C.

Ah, that makes sense. It is written up like it's a calamity. Regards, Dave C. It very well could be a 'calamity' if in fact it resets the ink counter, as you want to avoid getting air in the printhead chamber by continuing to try to print when a cartridge runs out. The result of that could make it difficult for ink from a new cartridge to displace that extra air drawn in from the previous cartridge and continue normal printing with the new one. -- Jan Alter bearpuf(a)verizon.net -- Jan Alter bearpuf(a)verizon.net
