Cartridge recognition

The PROe is designed to use only ENCAD PROe Series cartridges. To eliminate
potential damage to the printer, a Cartridge Recognition feature checks to ensure that
ENCAD PROe Series cartridges are installed, and that they are installed properly.
Cartridge recognition is performed when a print request is received (i.e., image data,
prime, etc.).

If the system detects a problem, the following error message is displayed on the
control panel: “Unrecognized Cartridge(s)” and the printer will beep three (3) times.
