No comments

  With the introduction of printing ink cartridge in 1984, the task of printing has become more easy and reliable. Previously to 1984, ink delivery systems were used, which involved it’s own inconveniences. With world advancing everyday, now the printing industries have developed new ink delivery technique that includes black and white documents as well as color graphics and photos printing.

With the invention of printing cartridge, it is very easy to print on different sizes and types of papers, fabrics and films. These printers were used in schools, business showrooms and even for homely purposes. When printing cartridge is used, each cartridge is given its specific identifying number and lists of model number of each printer in which the cartridge can be used.

Types of refilled printing cartridges

There are two types of refilled cartridges that are used in homes and offices:

Remanufactured cartridge - this is an original printer ink cartridge that is outfitted with ink and new parts. It is tested before it is being placed in the market to be re-sold. The life span of this cartridge is same as the original and they can be safely used in all the printers.

Compatible cartridge - it is a type of cartridge that is built with the same specifications as those of an original manufacturer but is available as generally cheaper than the original.

These printing cartridges come in kits that include bottles of ink, a bottle of cleaning solutions, a 2-part syringe and user’s manuals.

How to refill your cartridges?

Cartridges can be filled in the printer in two possible ways. You can either refill with low-priced kits that allow you to refill your own cartridge.

You can buy a refilled cartridge from a manufacturer and include methods like drilling, filling and sealing an empty cartridge.

Follow these instructions while you are refilling your cartridges:

- From the re-fill kit, draw the ink of any color with syringes and pour only after checking how much ink should be injected into the cartridge

- Make a small hole on the top of the cartridge for each individual color chamber. The hole should be on top of the cartridge just near the label and ink should be pushed onto the hole, while injecting the ink slowly into the cartridge.

- The re-filling holes need not be sealed, as there are already breather holes on top of the cartridge.

- After re-filling is over, place back the cartridge in the printer and run the cleaning cycle for at least 1 to 3 times.

- If any ink is left in the syringe, then you should return it to the bottle. Then clean the syringe with water and dry it before using it for some other color.

You should always remember to refill the cartridge before it is completely empty. Buy in bulk to get the printing cartridges at discounted prices.

Perhaps the Greates Business Invention of All Time: The Cash Register

By Giuseppe Mathis

  James Ritty might not have guessed that the cash register, which he invented in 1879, would change completely into some thing, which even he would fail to identify. He just wanted to devise a fool proof cash handling system, which effectively prevented his dishonest staff steal and pocket the money at his tavern in his Dayton, Ohio.

Early cash registers were mechanical machines, which did not issue receipts. The cashier would crank up the machine and press the total key to register transaction and that is when the cash drawer would open and a bell ring at the managers/owner’s office to alert him of a completed transaction.

But would it not be possible to open the register when there is no sale at all? These are day to day necessities and the manager or the owner would want to check or take away cash from the register even when there is no sale and the drawer can be opened by hitting the NS (no sale) key which opens the drawer after logging that the drawer was opened. Some models have special keys and latches for such instances.

Modern Cash Registers

Whether you have a small business or a restaurant, modern line of cash registers will fit the bills for you. These computerized cash registers of the day can be attached to scales, check stands and bar code readers. Some specially ordered models have the capacity to be attached to credit card terminals and software such as EFTPOS. EFTPOS stands for Electronic Fund Transfer and Point of Sale, which handle transactions with customers. It handles electronic debiting of customers’ accounts and crediting the amount to the merchants’ account.

Pilferages with modern cash registers are not easy. These are highly protected. One example is alphanumeric passwords.

Accounting and Taxation Angle to Cash Registers

It is mandatory for customers and merchants to maintain the receipts for some time while merchants compile tax returns. The point is, it is easy taking stock at the cash registers by the volume of sales rather than inventory. Bar code scanners such as EAN and UPC maintain logs for each item sold and totaled at the end of the day.

Top Manufacturers and Salient Features

Japanese have pulled it off in this regard. Toshiba, Casio, Sharp and American companies like IBM, Wincor-Nixdorf and TEC are top selling models. Features keep changing but, Clerk ID System, Self Tax Computation, Memory Protection, Locking Cash Drawer Locking coin tray, multiple tax rates; thermal printers and pop-up rear display are only the most common features.

Have you seen a self checkout cash register yet?
