Most printers only remember the last two cartridges (of each
color) used in the printer. If you have two spare cartridges (these
can be old and/or nonfunctional), simply place them into the printer,
one after the other, then put your refilled cartridge back in to
restore to 100% ink levels. If you don’t have spare cartridges, follow
this procedure:
|
 |
- Pull your cartridge or cartridges out of the printer and face
them as shown. Note: You can reset just one cartridge, or both
at the same time with this procedure.
- Place a piece of tape so that it just covers the top 4
contacts on the top left side of the contact area as shown.
- Reinsert the cartridges into the printer with the tape in
place.
- Close the lid and wait about 5 seconds.
- Open the lid and wait for the printer to give the cartridges
back to you. Note: The printer may take time to do this, and may
flash to show there is an error with your cartridges. This is
normal.
- Remove the cartridges again and move the tape to the other
side as shown in the lower pictures.
- Reinsert the cartridges into the printer with the tape in
place.
- Close the lid and wait about 5 seconds or so.
- Open the lid and wait for the printer to give the cartridges
back to you. Note: The printer may flash to show there is an
error with your cartridges again. This is normal.
- Remove the cartridges and remove all the tape. Be sure the
contacts are CLEAN. Gently wipe copper colored contacts with alcohol on q-tip and,
the contacts where the cartridge fits into the printer.
- Place the cartridges back into the printer. They should now
read 100% full. If not, redo the procedure, but only cover the top
3 contacts. If they still do not show as full, repeat, but only
cover the top 2 contacts.
