Mimaki JV3-160S chip by pass

[heyskull]

Is their a way to by pass the chips temporary?
I am trying to set up this machine but need it in a fully working state to clean and run test prints.
Once this is fully operational I am going to fit a bulk ink system so I no longer need cartridges and will have permanent chips.

Thanks

Would not be much of a market for permanent chips if you could just bypass them...... No way around that as far as I am aware.

Can you still do test prints even though the chip has expired?

If you set the clock back then it will not be expired....

Need to remove the back panel on the right end over the mainboard. Pull the I/O board and you will see a coin battery. Pull that out with it off for about 10 minutes and viola. The printer will think it's 2004 or so.
