Resetting in this manner requires three cartridges.
Label the top of each cartridge with a letter. As an example A B C.
1. "A" is in the printer (printer knows "A")
2. "A" is removed and replaced with "B" (printer knows "A" & "B")
3. "B" is removed and replaced with "C" (printer knows "B" & "C" & "A" is dropped from the list)
At this point though "A" has been in the printer, the print no longer remembers it or retains the information that it was there.
Even if you have cartridges that were repeatedly refilled and the print heads no longer work, they should be usable for resetting purposes.

You actually need to tell the printer that you have installed a new cartridge. This can be done through your printer's tool box.
Your ink level is just a page counter. I would really not be overly concerned about the lack of monitor as it is rarely even remotely correct. When you start to see any fading in your print. That is the time to refill the cartridge.

generally with refilled cartridges they're going to examine as empty. it truly is because of the fact the digital chip certainly works out the ink tiers utilising a internet site counter quite than checking the ink contained in the cartridge. regrettably while it reaches 0 there is not any thank you to reset it back to complete. Lexmark cartridges could be slightly diverse whether, many of the lexmark cartridge are what's stated as 'returns programme' cartridges, meaning that as quickly as they attain the empty mark the digital chip will certainly self terminate, rendering the cartridge ineffective inspite of the ink ultimate. If the unique cartridge develop into certainly a returns programme cartridge it could have suggested so on the lid, and so don't have been refilled.

First things first - you can just try resetting your printer. Unplug it for a few minutes and then reinstall the cartridge and see what happens. It may just be a simple error that will go away once the memory is clear.

Not certain with this model, but if your cartridge is of the "chipped variety" then the chip needs to be reset,( this is how epson cartridges work) the tool can be bought on the net, but to be quite frank, it is usually as cheap to buy compatibles these days rather than refilling your own.
This may not be of help but it's the best i can do.

I think you have to reset something - places like Cartridge World probably do this on cartridges they have recycled, I have no idea how you would do it yourself though. Look it up on the internet, there's probably some advice out there somewhere.

search google for a supplier of a chip reseter for your printer/cartridge type they just wave over the chip on the cartridge and it fools it into thinking its full again..simple really..

Yes, in your Printer Preferences on your Control Panel.
