Important Pre-Reset Checklist

Before you run the resetter tool, you must do the following: Check the Waste Ink Pads: If your printer

  1. Check the Waste Ink Pads: If your printer is physically leaking ink from the bottom, the pads are genuinely full. Resetting the software counter without replacing the pads will cause a massive mess. If there is no leak, you are likely safe to proceed with the reset.
  2. Disable Antivirus: Many resetter tools are flagged as "Malware" or "Trojans" by Windows Defender. This is usually a false positive because the software modifies hardware firmware settings. You must disable your antivirus temporarily to extract and run the tool.
  3. USB Connection: Ensure your printer is connected to the PC via USB cable. Wi-Fi resets are often unstable.
