HP 970 Ink level reset
Rodney
do not have spare cartridges to rotate. Is there another way to reset
levels. Does this need to be done with both cartridges. Any help greatly
apreciated.

DJ 970 Printing test: (this is not in the printing manual)
Turn on the printer letting go of the power key, then push the power key and
hold it in that position. With your other hand, you press the "FF" (Form
Feed button, which has a picture of a sheet of paper on it) button, and / or
the "X" button . The "FF" button is used for numbers less than 10 (-1, -2,
to -9), whereas the "X" button is used for numbers which are a multiple of
10 ( 1-, 2-, 3- etc.) After you have pressed the "FF" or the "X" buttons the
given amount of times, let go of the power button.
-1 : Flower (head first)
-3 : Alignment
-4 : P/C, Page count
-7 : Paper-indent-exactness?
-8 : Never-ending Test (pages full of "H"s)
11 : P/C, Page count, Paper-sizing-dates
12 : ROM-Dump, P/C, Alignment-dates
20 : Simple cartridge cleaning
21 : Further cleaning
22 : Intensive cleaning (uses a lot of ink)
31 : Flower continued
41 : Cartridges-identification-dates / filler situation
84 : Nozzle test, like in the old HPs
Leading the printer to believer the cartridges are new:
Status: refilled cartridges in the printer.
- Turn on the printer.
- Open up the cover, remove both cartridges.
- Place both cartridges infront of you so that you can see the contact foil,
with the nozzles facing downwards.
- With adhesive tape, cover the four upper contact points on the far left
contact column of both cartridges
- something like this: X . . . X . . . X . . . X . . . . . . . . . . .
- Reinsert the two cartridges.
- Close the cover.
- Open the cover again after 2 or 3 seconds.
- Wait until the printer gives you the cartridge carriage (If there seems to
be a problem with either of the cartridges, ignore it)
- Open the cover, remove the two cartridges.
- Place both cartridges infront of you so that you can see the contact foil,
with the nozzles facing downwards.
- Remove the adhesive tape.
- With adhesive tape, cover the four upper contact points on the far right
contact column of both cartridges
- something like this: X . . . X . . . X . . . X . . . . . . . . . . .
- Reinsert the two cartridges.
- Close the cover.
- Open the cover again after 2 or 3 seconds.
- Wait until the printer gives you the cartridge carriage (If there seems to
be a problem with either of the cartridges, ignore it)
- Open the cover, remove the two cartridges.
- Remove the adhesive tape.
- Clean the contacts well.
- Reinsert the two cartridges.
- Close the cover.
- That's it !!!
Now for the test and safety:
- Begin Printing-test 41.
- Hold onto the Power button, 4 * X (press "X" four times), 1 * FF (press
"FF" once), let go of the Power button ->at the very bottom where it says
"Remaining Quantities:", 100% (or 99) should be stated twice.
- Begin the cartridge alignment (if the printer doesn't do it automatically
itself).
- Hold onto the Power button, 3 * FF (press "FF" three times), let go off
the Power button.

if you search HP website for HP812c and subject "printer diagnostics" or
"nozzle pattern"
you will find something.
