The 970 assumes that any new cartridge is full and 
it also remembers the last three cartridges.   So 
if you are using cartridge A, then you put in B, 
then C, then D, and finally A, the memory of A 
being out of ink will have been lost and it 
assumes that it is a new, full cartridge.  I think 
this is the easiest way to reset the memory but 
you need save three old (a total of four ) cartridges.

BTW, there are two other  ways to reset the 
memory, one involves pushing the front buttons and 
the other is taping the contacts  I don't have 
that info in front of me but it has been well 
documented, so you should be able to find it with 
a google search.
