The only known method is to reset the machine through the computer that is attached to the printer. When the change drum error message is displayed on your computer screen, press CTRL, + SHIFT, +F1 all at the same time. This will clear the drum count on the printer. We are continuing to look into resetting the printer by itself.
Ricoh Aficio 200 OPC Cartridges
Ricoh OPC Cartridge # 209622 (Type 250)
OEM Stated Yield: 45,000
The reset gear in the Ricoh Aficio 200 OPC cartridge has a different purpose than most reset mechanisms. Most resets set the cartridge page count back to zero. In the Aficio 200, it lets the machine know that a new cartridge has been installed. The machine then takes readings from its sensors to measure the charge of the developer and drum. From those readings it sets up the density for that drum unit.
If the gear is not reset, the machine will continue to think the old cartridge is installed, and use the old settings. This usually causes either light prints, or backgrounding.
It is also important to note that the replacement aftermarket developer was designed to work with the replacement drum as a matched system. In our tests, the OEM drum will not last another cycle.
