How to reset the Canon cartridge after refilling: three ways

The owners of printers are constantly faced with the question: how to reset the Canon cartridge? The problem is the memory of the chip on the ink tank and the printing device. When a new cartridge is installed, the printer reads the information from the chip. The software (software) displays data that the installed ink tank is original and 100% full.

Refillable cartridges do not have such chips, because of this the printer can not read information about the new ink tank and update the data in the software. Accordingly, the printing device "thinks" that the cartridge has not been replaced, and blocks use. The same situation develops with owners who use CISS.

The question of how to reset the Canon cartridge can arise when operating ink tanks without chips. Then, for the volume of printed pages and ink resource, only the software cutoff of the printer and one contact on the cartridge site are responsible. In this case, too, the ink counter is reset and you can print further.

Let's take a look at the basic methods of zeroing the print cartridges in Canon printers, which include the following:

• With the help of the programmer;
• Blocking the reading contact;
• Reset the counter in the printer.

For each model of the printer, its own version of zeroing is suitable. Using the wrong method, the user runs the risk of damaging the printer, so remember that you take all actions at your own risk.

There is no chip in the cartridge: what should I do?

How to reset the Canon cartridge, which does not have a chip? The design of the cartridge does not provide a chip, but there is a contact pad, which is recognized by the printer, and he reads information about which ink tank is installed and how much it has exhausted the resource.

Additional set

The most common trick used by many is to purchase two sets of cartridges and print in turns. Each subsequent ink tank relieves the information about the previous one. This method has a big minus, which is dangerous for those who rarely print. Ink cartridges can not stand idle, the nozzles wither and become unusable. If the cartridge is used infrequently, proceed with the instruction and follow the steps in order.

Algorithm of actions

How do I reset the Canon cartridge after refueling? The result is guaranteed when the instruction is executed sequentially, first for a color cartridge, and then for a black cartridge.

1. Remove the cartridge and seal the upper row of contacts with tape or tape.

2. Install the ink tank in the printer, the message "cartridge not inserted" appears.

3. Remove the cartridge from the printer.

4. Cover the second row of contacts with adhesive tape (or tape).

5. Again, the error "cartridge not inserted" appears.

6. Remove the cartridge again.

7. Tear off both strips of tape.

8. Reinsert the ink tank, now the printer detects the cartridge as full

After this procedure, you can use them as new. Keep in mind, if the printer does not report the empty cartridge, but simply prints the white sheets, the problem lies in poor-quality refills or dried nozzles.

• As soon as the message disappears, the printer will reset and begin printing.

How to reset the Canon cartridge using the programmer

The safest way to reset the chip is to use a special programmer. There are several types for different models of niello. Finding suitable is easy, because there are many such offers on the market. The type of action they have is the same:

• Remove the cartridge from the printer.
• Install it in the programmer, so that the chip is on the contacts.
• As soon as the indicator light comes on, remove the ink tank.
• Return the cartridge to the printer and print.

Each of the described methods can be considered universal. For beginners, it is recommended to use the programmer to zero out or to close the ink tank contacts. These options will not lead to a loss of warranty and service. Deactivate the meter if the warranty period for the printer has expired.
