Questions About Our Canon
Pixma Chip Resetters
Here are some
questions asked by customers, if you do not find your answer here, please email us and we will promptly answer.
Can I use
Canon original ink cartridges as well as non-oem, re-manufactured or other compatible cartridges with a Chip
Resetter simultaneously?
Answer: Yes, original and compatible cartridges can be used in any combination. However, some compatible
cartridges have "one time" only chips, so they cannot be reset. Since we cannot know which you have, we recommend
you ask your retailer if the chip is resettable before you purchase frm them. Our resetters will reset any
resettable chip.
Also make sure you have the correct
resetter for the chip series you have in your printer. You can see the chip series number on the top of each
cartridge.
Does the product come with easy to
read instructions?
Answer:
Yes. You can visit our blog and watch a short video on how
to use our resetter. Please go to this link and scroll down. You will see it on the right. inkjetrest.blogspot.com. We will soon have a video page on this site with all kinds of great information.
Will the
cartridges be emptied completely or – like with other systems – will a certain amount of ink remain in the tank
that I have to discard?
Answer: Yes, completely. The cartridges
will be completely emptied, exactly like the original cartridges.
Do I need a different chip for each
cartridge?
Answer: Yes, you need an original Canon chip for every different color cartridge. The
chips can be new or used, or still on the original Canon cartridges. (Each color cartridge has a color specific chip that your printer and
computer will identify, so make sure not to mix up the chips. Always do one color at a tie to make sure you get it
right.)
Do I have to change the settings of
my printer or my printer software (printer drivers)
Answer:
No. All settings remain
unchanged.
Will using this Chip Resetter
effect my printer's warranty?
Answer: 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 and compatible
cartridges
Is the system
compatible with Windows Vista or Windows 7?
Answer: Yes. Our chip resetter will work with all versions of Windows, all
operating systems including MAC OS.
I'm considering buying a Canon Pixma MP520, which
uses PGI 5BK and the CLI-8 inks. What exactly do I need do to reset the
chip?
Answer: This resetter is really easy to use. If you have an original Canon
Cartridge with the chip still attached, you simply place the cartridge with the chip facing bottom (like when
you put it into your printer) and press it into place. The unit will flash a steady led light when the chip
has been reset - it takes about 5 seconds. You do exactly the same thing if you have a remanufactured or
compatible cart which you have attached a Canon OEM chip to. View the video

Is there a limited number of times that I can reset
each tank? On my old Canon I refilled indefinitely but I realize they did not have the
chip.
Answer: There
is no limit as to how many times you can reset the chip on any tank.
Refilling a cartridge is only limited to the condition of the
tank. I have spoken to some people who have had their Canon printers for years and still continue to
refill the original ink cartridges.
As you know, it is only recently that Canon has added chips to their printers, so that is why a resetter now is
important to have. Especially if you have a multifunction printer which includes a fax machine, because it will not
print out the faxes automatically if the chip in your cartridge has not been
reset.
