Found this useful reference on the web to reset your printer after you have installed a new cartridge or a refilled one. My case was a refilled one. These steps worked fine for me except that I still continue to see the error code 1 on my printer and the ‘low on ink’ indicator keeps flashing. You may want to check it out.
step by step, easy procedure. Follow exactly the same order & procedure:
1. Turn off printer, cable power still plug in,
2. Press Stop/Reset button don’t release
3. Press Power Button don’t release and than release Stop/Reset button
4. Press Stop/Reset button 2X and than release Power Button, wait until service mode to ” 0 ”
5. Turn off printer, cable power still plug in
6. Press Stop/Reset button don’t release
7. Press Power Button don’t release and than release Stop/Reset button
8. Press Stop/Reset button 4X and than release Power Button, wait until service mode to ” 1 ”
9. Turn off printer, and loose cable power, wait one minute.
10. Connect cable power, turn on printer again, now this printer ready to use
Its amazing to test and see for me!
