If you know how Brother decides that a cartridge is necessary, or you
know aobut this particular model, MFC-J625dw that would be great, but
otherwise, I should read the webpages first and I apologize for
bothering you all.

One Amazon reviewer says to tip the printer
at 90 degrees for a few moments, so the ink
covers the LED sensor.
I'll try that.

I tried it, but I forgot what you said and only tipped it 40 degrees
back. (Though i did it while it was starting.) Didnt' work.

I'll try 90^ next time. Which direction? Back?

Look at the cartridge and where a person is supposed
to put the black tape. And figure out from that,
which direction to tip it, to get the ink to cover
the optical path.

The review I read, didn't say which direction or

He probably thought you and I should be smart enough to figure it out.

And indeed you did.

And for the record, I did too. When I tipped it back, that's because,
I'm 98% sure, that was the way the cartridge had to go te get the ink in
the window, as you just advised.

Frankly there is enough ink in one or both of them that 40 degrees would
have been enough, and I think 90^ is for when there's only a couple
days' worth of ink left, but I will do as I've been told.

I went back and found the guy who threw it away, and he was friendly, in
a good mood and had no reason to lie, so I'm wondering if the printer
sat around for a few weeks after he bought the new one, and maybe that
has something to do with the No Ink message. I know, I've had more
than one 19" TV, all CRT but both tube and transistor, that stopped
working when I let them sit too long.

He said he put it out at 3PM on Sunday and I didn't get it until 9AM on
Monday, so it sat there, on a busy street but with plenty of parking
right in front of the printer, for more than 5 hours of daylight.

And it's not a rich n'hood. The sign was slightly obscured by the
grass, but I easily r ecognized it as something free. so I'm wondering
if tne rest of them are getting too rich for their britches.

coordinate system were being used. Ninety degrees
could mean just about anything.
