Cartridge/Machine Reset Guide Version 16
Now with HP & Lexmark common chip error codes!
By Mike Josiah
Welcome to the 16
th
version of our Reset Guide!
This guide continues to expand (sometimes on a
daily basis), and it will continue to expand for the
for-seeable future. Although most machines these
days are chip based, some still use the machine
menu to reset the counter. As for the chip based
machines, it basically comes down to if the chip
stops that cartridge from printing or allows the
cartridge to print but disables the toner low circuitry.
We have tried to include this information where ever
possible. New in this version, we have also included
common chip error codes and their explanations.
Sometimes what is perceived to be a chip error can
be something else. Codes for HP and Lexmark
machines have been included. Rather than copy
them for every HP and Lexmark engine, we have
included a generic listing at the beginning of both
the HP and Lexmark section. Only if there is a
specific machine error code will there be anything
under the actual engine.
If you have information not listed here, please
contact Mike Josiah at
mjosiah@summitechnologies.com so it can be
included in the next version.
Brother HL-630 OPC
Brother Cartridge
Part #DR-100
OEM Stated Yield: 11-15,000
This cartridge does not use any type of reset
procedure. These cartridges according to the Brother
manual should be replaced whenever the copy
quality deteriorates. Since this could occur almost at
any time, there is no need to have a counter. We only
included it here because all of the other Brother
engines DO have some sort of reset procedure.

Brother Cartridge
Part #DR-200

New drum cartridges come with a clear “Starter
Sheet” installed inside the cartridge. When the
cartridge is installed and the cover closed, the printer
will eject the sheet and at the same time, reset the
drum counter. This sheet is also present in the DR-
300 cartridges. Replacement sheets are now
available.
