The OEM Canon CLI8 and PGI5
cartridges have chips, which serve to monitor the ink levels and to provide an
on-screen message of empty when the ink levels run out. Our CHIP RESETTER
allows you to restore the ink level monitoring function, and thereby override
the empty our out of ink messages after you have refilled and reset your
cartridge. This resetter is designed and guaranteed to reset the ORIGINAL Canon
chips, but may not work on compatible (generic brand) chips.
This CHIP
RESETTER is
versatile: It will automatically identify the cartridge model and detect whether
the chip on the cartridge is in a good state or not, then reset the chip. Since
it is operated by a small replaceable battery, the number of resets it can offer
is unlimited.
The following OEM (original brand Canon) cartridge chips
can be reset:
PGI-5BK,
CLI-8BK, CLI-8C, CLI-8M, CLI-8Y, CLI-8PC, CLI-8PM

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE
1. Slide the cartridge (with
chip facing the CHIP RESETTER) into the guide. Use the loose adapter guide for
the CLI8 cartridges (which are thinner), or without the adapter guide for the
thicker PGI5 cartridges.
2. Push the cartridge down to
ensure that the chip touches the contact plate. You will first get a short split
second flash of the red LED light - this signals that good contact has been
made. Keep holding the cartridge down. What will follow is a continuous red LED
light that will last for 2-3 seconds. This indicates that the resetting has been
successful.
3. You can now remove the
cartridge from the resetter.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the LED light does
not flash solid red for 2-3 seconds:
a). The pins of the
resetter may not be making good contact with the
chip b). The cartridge or chip
you are attempting to reset may not be original Canon
c).The battery cell in the CANON RESETTER may be spent
