This post will teach you how to restart the chips located inside your Canon ink cartridges in nive simple steps you can repeat at home or the office.
Canon printers generally use small size ink cartridges with chips installed to guarantee the best functioning possible. This chip also controls the printer ink usage and notifying the user when is time to change the cartridge and prevents us from refilling the cartridge but buying a new one.
Sometimes, the printer will send an error message displaying the ink cartridges need to be replaced, however, when you check the cartridges you will realize they are still filled with Ink and do not need to be changed immediately. To resolve this issue, you just have to restart your printer to make it recognized and use up the ink cartridges already installed.
Now that the ink cartridges are restored, we can adjust them to the point the ink cartridge becomes empty to refill it or just to get the quantity of ink needed.
Steps to restore chip found in Canon ink cartridges
Before starting, make sure to disconnect your printer USB cable:
1. Turn the printer off by pressing the On/Off button. Wait until the LED indicator turns off as well.
2. Disconnect the printer’s power cord and remove its USB cable from the computer if attached to.
3. Locate the Resume and On/Off buttons on your printer’s panel, found on the upper-right section. now, press and hold them down.
Press this buttons at the same time so this restoring method works out. If you need more information about this step, we will be glad to help you out. Once these buttons are pressed down, hold them for about 20 seconds and don’t let go of them until the 20 seconds are elapsed.
4. Connect the printer power exit so it can get going. Let go of the On/Off button while keeping the Resume one pressed down. This will put your Canon printer in Test Mode.
5. You can let go of the Resume button once you’ve noticed the printer has started printing the test sheet. The printer will now be in Service Mode and the screen’s light will go off.
6. Press the Continue button once and wait for the ink counter to show up on the printer’s screen. Do this four times in case the message doesn’t appear on your first try.
7. Press the 0 key on your printer to restore the chip inside the ink cartridges. If you’re using a bubble-jet printer, press the Cartridge key instead.
8. Press the OK button and turn the printer off again.
9. Disconnect the printer from the power exit and plug it back in before connecting the USB cable back to it so you can start using your printer again.
