Okidata B4200/4300 Series, Okidata B6100 Series

engine is the Okidata OL-400/800, but the first actual reset procedure is for the OL-800 series only, followed by other machines that use the same engine but have different reset procedures. Just to make things a little crazier, there are also machines that use different engines, but use the same reset procedure. These are grouped as above, but with a note that says what other machines also use that procedure.

Hopefully this will help clear up some of the confusion on what procedures to use.

Unlike most of the other Okidata machines, these cartridges use a chip that has to be replaced. It uses an odd round style ship, and there are many manufacturers using them. Most have different chips. Make sure you have the correct chip for the machine it is intended for.

NOTE: I have not seen these cartridges or machines. When a new cartridge (OEM) is installed, it should clear the message. (You have to install it with the power off). If the power is left on. It will not reset itself, then the following complicated procedure must be followed. At this point I do not know if the cartridge has a reset gear or a chip.

Enter the PCU Diagnostic mode by turning the printer off and holding down the MENU and OK buttons on power up. (Release the buttons once you are in the PCU DIAG MODE). Press the MENU button 14x until the display shows “COUNTER DISPLAY”. Press the MENU button and the BACK?C button at the same time. This will put the printer into the “Feed Counter Clear Mode”. Release the buttons. Press the up arrow 5x until the display shows “Toner Counter Clear”. Pres the OK button, the display will show “Toner No”. Press the Up Arrow 1x so the display shows “Toner Yes”, Press the OK button. The Green data light will flash to indicate the process is complete. Turn the printer off and on to clear the PCU DIAG mode.
