RKS AUTO RESET CHIP QUESTIONS

When you receive your RKS Auto Reset Chips, please read the instruction brochure before opening the packages. Just in case you are one of the folks who says when all else fails read the instructions, I am adding two important warnings right here.

These two warnings are most important:

Please pay attention before opening the anti-static packages that your auto reset chips come in.

1) Before you take the chips out of the packaging, please be certain that you are not loaded with static electricity. One touch of finger filled with static electricity will immediately destroy the chips..

If you are unsure of your static electricity status, please "unload" yourself. This is simple to do. Touch metal, like your computer case, Click here to learn all about electro static discharge and how to avoid it.

2) Never use a resetter on these Auto Reset Chips because this will completely destroy them.

TIPS

The Auto Reset Chips reset the ink level indicator to 'Full' again when no voltage level is applied to the contacts of the chip. Because of this we recommend you never turn your printer off, keep it in standby mode.

When you switch off the printer completely (and of course this will happen with a power outage) the ink level of all cartridges is initially reset to full again. However, after a few pages of printing, the printer recognizes a possible low ink level, and the ink level indicator automatically starts to operate normally again.

Here are some customer questions we have received regarding the new RKS Auto Reset Chips. Please note these chips are not ciss auto chips. These chips are programmed with full ink control, so they will activate your ink monitor. They know the levels of ink in each cartridge, and they will automatically reset themselves when you refill the cartridge. You never have to remove them from the printer to do this.

CUSTOMER QUESTIONS

A: The cartridges will be emptied completely, just like original cartridges.

Q: Do I need a separate chip for each cartridge?

A: Yes, you will receive 5 auto reset chips which are clearly marked for each different color cartridge.

Q:  Do I have to change the settings of my printer or my printer software (printer drivers)?

A: No. All settings remain unchanged.

Q: What happens to the manufacturer’s warranty if I use these RKS Ink Control, Auto Reset Chips? 

A: The manufacturer’s warranty remains intact.

Q:  If only 2 to 3 original cartridges of my CANON Pixma 4200 are empty, can I exchange the
  empty ones with the new auto reset chips, and leave the original ones in its place?

A: Yes. You can alter some of them and leave the original cartridges in its place.

Q:  Are these new ink Control Auto Reset Chips compatible with Windows Vista?

A: Yes. They will work with all versions of Windows, all Operating systems including MAC OS

Q:  What exactly do I need to do in order to get these new Ink Control Auto Reset Chips to work,
  and is there a limited amount of times that they will work on each tank?

A: All you have to do is attach them to any compatible, oem or other refillable cartridge.
  Or if you get the pack with the extenders, then just put them in the extenders and put them
  in your printer, and then you never have to take them out again! Once these are in place, they
  will recognize when the cart is low, and when it is empty Then the amazing thing is they will
   recognize when the cart is full again! You can take your cartridge out and refill it, or you can
  get a refillable cartridge that you refill right in your printer. We will have these available shortly.

Q:   Are the chips interchangeable,
    
A: The chips from any canon ink cartridge are specific to the color. For example the CLI-8Y,
  is a cli-8 yellow color chip, and can only work for the yellow cartridge in your printer. If you
  put it where the Magenta cartridge goes, your printer will not recognize it. It is the same with
  these new auto reset chips. When you get your set, you will see each chip is in its own
  anti-static package labeled with with the exact cli-8 y, k, m, c, or pgbk. You must put the
  chip in the proper location in the printer for it to work. The best way to do this is to either
  get a set of chip extenders and label each, or get a set of refillable cartridges that have the
  labels right on them. Then you will not make any errors if you pull them out.

Q: Is there any limit as to how many times these will automatically reset?

A: No, they like the original Canon Chips are not limited to a secific number of resets.

Q:  Will refilling my inkjet cartridge void the manufacturer's warranty on my printer?

A: No. Refilling your inkjet cartridge does not tamper with your printer in any way, and therefore
  does not effect your warranty. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act, the
  consumer is allowed the right to choose any consumable they desire for their printer,
  and allowed to make any repairs to the printer cartridge they deem necessary. This allows
  for the use of refill kits, compatible cartridges, ciss systems, and of course our new RKS
  ink control auto reset chips.
