Cartridge/Machine Reset Guide Version 16

Now with HP & Lexmark common chip error codes!

By Mike Josiah

Welcome to the 16th version of our Reset Guide! This guide continues to expand (sometimes on a daily basis), and it will continue to expand for the for-seeable future. Although most machines these days are chip based, some still use the machine menu to reset the counter. As for the chip based machines, it basically comes down to if the chip stops that cartridge from printing or allows the cartridge to print but disables the toner low circuitry. We have tried to include this information where ever possible. New in this version, we have also included common chip error codes and their explanations. Sometimes what is perceived to be a chip error can be something else. Codes for HP and Lexmark machines have been included. Rather than copy them for every HP and Lexmark engine, we have included a generic listing at the beginning of both the HP and Lexmark section. Only if there is a specific machine error code will there be anything under the actual engine.

If you have information not listed here, please contact Mike Josiah at mjosiah@summitechnologies.com so it can be included in the next version.

Brother HL-630 OPC

Brother Cartridge

Part #DR-100

OEM Stated Yield: 11-15,000

This cartridge does not use any type of reset procedure. These cartridges according to the Brother manual should be replaced whenever the copy quality deteriorates. Since this could occur almost at any time, there is no need to have a counter. We only included it here because all of the other Brother engines DO have some sort of reset procedure.

When the cartridge is installed and the cover closed, the printer will eject the sheet and at the same time, reset the drum counter. This sheet is also present in the DR- 300 cartridges.
