PRO-100: No low ink bypass?

[Paul Verizzo]

You know, the old trick of telling the printer, yes, it's OK to continue, I understand the risks and all that. It then takes the ink monitoring out of the way.

Does the PRO-100 have that feature? I couldn't find anything in the online manual.

It does but if you go that route you lose ink monitoring for that colour until you install a fresh OEM cartridge.

Any cartridge that you have accepted that warning on can still be reset (using a REdSETTER CLI-42 unit) but it has limited monitoring capability. There's more details here if this is something you want to read up on.

Yes it is in the documentation somewhere. Plus I think you get a prompt when the cartridge is finally empty. Includes a warning that the apocalypse is imminent amongst other things.

I was using the printer before the redsetter was available and had to resort to this for my first few refills.

Interestingly, when the redsetter became available those initial SETUP carts did not indicate ink levels correctly when subsequently used with the redsetter.

I seemed to be the only person who experienced this subsequent ink level problem, which was confined to the SETUP carts that had the on-board ink monitoring disabled. Others on this site could not duplicate my experience.

@guys: Thanks. The info on stopping the monitoring doesn't seem to be in the manual. Not that I couldn't be wrong........

I'm well aware of the danger of running nekkid without monitoring. Did that for many years on several printers. Due to my budget and the high cost of the CLI-42 resetter, I'll probably do this in several steps. Inks, then resetter later.

I would sincerely recommend against it. Splurge for the cli-42 resetter now. Works perfectly well and besides, why would you want to tempt fate?

This scenario has happened. For real.

Roy, ask any nurse or physician who works in an Emergency Room if people "accidentally" get something stuck up inside their bum. It happens with alarming frequency. The story often begins with something like "I was cleaning in the nude and sat down to rest and I didn't see it on the chair..." Uh, huh. Riiiiight.

Oh, Lord. Here we go again........... I understand the risk. Each to their own. I've done it for some years w/o issue, maybe I'm smarter than the average bear. And last, it's my (meager) budget.

Yeah, I knew a woman who worked in billing for an anesthesiologist. She's seen billing for removal of a table leg and a light bulb.

"Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time................"

Yup! You are right. It is your printer!

Learn something new every day at Printerknowledge.com. Guess this redefines "anal-retentive". I am always loosing my glasses, and even managed to sit on them once. Fortunately while wearing the conventional under and outerwear. Else the emergency room physician would have truly thought I had my head up my a__.

I do recall couple of decades ago a rumour from tinsel town about some movie stars reputedly lost a gerbil that way.

Oh well, to each his own!
