Topic: XYZ AiO Using Reels not Cartridge

Hi Everyone

Re: XYZ AiO Using Reels not Cartridge

If you go with the reel you will need a cartridge resetter

I take it you just place a reel somewhere and just keep resetting the cartridge an re-install an empty cartridge,

Its Running standard firmware at the moment but thinking about putting Repetier Host on it, Its still under warranty at the moment so not sure If I want to do it yet.

Re: XYZ AiO Using Reels not Cartridge

I think he is talking about the refill kit that XYZ sells as a spool. If that is thacase then you take the old cart out, crack it open and remove the old spool and chip. Put in the new spool and chip that it comes with and reload the printer.
