How to Restore a Lexmark Ink Cartridge Chip?


One of the smartest ways to work on printers is by refilling the cartridges whenever required. But there are times when you will placed the refilled cartridge back into its position into the printer, the microchip available on the side of the cartridge still reads it as empty. As a result, you will receive a low ink message appearing on your computer screen whenever you try to get a printout.


But once you reset the ink, it will change its status back to the original full settings.


And while resetting; if you find any issue or difficulty then get in touch with the technical support service provider who will help you throughout. You can consult the team of Lexmark Support and discuss your troubles with the experts directly.


Follow the below steps for resetting the ink cartridge on Lexmark device:

  • First of all, open the access area after installing the refilled ink cartridge. Place the cartridge into the print head carrier slot.

  • Shut down the device and again turn it on by pressing ‘Ready, Go/ Select (depends on the printer’s model) and Return’ buttons on the device for getting the diagnostics menu. Once you have done this, the printer will make a self-test process. Perform the next step once you are done with this process.

  • Go to the ‘Maintenance Page Count’ section. Here you can readjust the page count indicator. Either tap on the ‘Reset’ option or ‘Reset Maintenance Count’ option. Afterwards, press the ‘Select’ button.

  • For going back to the main page of printer menu, press the ‘Return’ button and then exit the diagnostics mode.
