Detailed guide to the printer reset operation after refilling toner
The following is a detailed guide to reset printer operation after refilling toner, which integrates the general operation methods of mainstream brand models:
1. General zeroing operation steps
Preparation:
Make sure the toner cartridge is properly installed and turn off the printer power
Prepare tools such as toothpicks/paper clips (for physical reset operations)
Basic reset process:
Press and hold the “Power Button” + “Stop Button” at the same time to turn on the machine (applicable to most Brother models)
Enter “Maintenance Mode” through the control panel → Select “Reset Toner Counter”
Observe the changes in the status light: Green light always on means success
2. Brand-differentiated operation
Brother HL series models:
Open the front cover when the machine is powered on → press the “OK” button → select “Replace toner cartridge” → confirm reset
Brother DCP/MFC series:
Press and hold the “Function key” to enter the menu → select “Reset” → enter “*11” → confirm execution
Epson printers:
Manual reset (L310 and other models):
After shutting down, press and hold the “Power button” + “Ink button” for 10 seconds → release after the red light flashes
Epson ME series models:
Enter the maintenance menu → “Waste” ink pad counter” option → check the reset item and initialize
3. Software-assisted reset
Special tool operation process:
Download the corresponding model reset software (such as Epson ME350 using AdjProgcrackedf.exe)
Connect the printer → select the port → execute “Waste ink pad counter” initialization
Note: Some new models need to be connected in maintenance mode (such as Canon MP288 need to press the paper feed key 5 times to enter the mode)
Cross-brand universal tool:
Use “Service Tool” (Service Tool) Select “Maintenance” → “Reset Parts Life”
4. Precautions
Before operation, the printer model must be confirmed. Incorrect reset may cause functional abnormality
If multiple reset failures occur, check the chip contacts or replace the original toner cartridge
Network shared printers need to perform reset operations on the host side
After software reset, it is recommended to restart the device to verify the status
