Q1: Why should I buy it from this seller?
A1 : We are laser printer product designers and know all technical details. We are the product designers of our reset kits. So, can provide quicker and more accurate technical support.
Printing is essential for business operations, and we understand the need for fast delivery, cost savings, and reliable support. As product designers, we possess extensive knowledge of printers and can offer prompt and accurate assistance. Unlike resellers, we handle the entire process, from design to manufacturing and testing. Our team of experienced printer engineers, who serve as product designers, are available to help customers with any printer-related issues, even beyond our products.
In comparison to other sellers, our reset kits offer superior convenience. Many competing products are incompatible with bundle/starter parts, leading to potential issues such as toner leakage or motherboard damage caused by using incorrect components. This lack of transparency is why most sellers do not showcase their actual reset products or provide instructions before selling.
In contrast, we provide full visibility by displaying all items and offering video guides on product usage before purchase. Customers will have a clear understanding of what they will receive and how to utilize our product. Our reset kits are compatible with both retail and starter version parts. Our sticker-type reset chips can be easily installed without the need for tools, taking less than 25 seconds. Simply peel and stick like a sticker. While our cable-type products may require 2-4 screws to open, they do not involve any toner leakage.
Q2 : Does the Drum Reset Chip also reset the TONER level or other counters?
A : No
Some customers may mistakenly believe that the Drum Reset chip can reset all page counters, including toner and rollers, by resetting the entire printer through the drum unit. However, this is not accurate. The drum reset chip is specifically designed to reset the page counter of the drum only. Similarly, the belt reset chip and fuser reset kit are intended to reset the belt counter and fuser counter respectively. If you are in need of a solution to reset the toner counter, drum reset kits are not suitable. We recommend exploring other listings to find the appropriate product for your needs.
↵
Q3 : The manufacturer's user manual shows that I should change the toner cartridge when replacing the drum unit. Do I need to change the toner cartridge when applying the drum counter reset chip?
A : NO (99.9%) & YES (0.1%)
The drum reset chip functions similarly to a new drum unit. When a new drum unit is installed, the manufacturer recommends changing the toner cartridge because the printer's firmware assumes the new drum unit is empty. The printer attempts to transfer toner from the cartridge to the drum unit's toner reservoir and adjusts the toner level accordingly. If the toner level was below 40% before replacing the drum unit, the printer may ask for a new toner cartridge after the replacement.
However, when using the drum reset chip without replacing the drum unit, no actual toner transfer occurs as the drum unit is already filled. Most printers won't require a new cartridge after using the chip, but there is a slight possibility that it may be needed due to the OEM's programmed firmware. To reset the toner warning, you can either use a new toner or a toner chip. So, the answer is mostly NO but in very rare cases YES.
Q4 : Does it work?
Yes, of course. We have received hundreds and thousands of positive feedback from our customers who already used our products successfully.
Q5 : Is there anything I should know before purchasing? In which case I should not buy these reset kits?
The part that you intend to reset the counter of must be in good working condition or have been providing good quality prints until it was locked by the counter. If the part has any physical defects, this reset kit will not improve printing defects or quality at all. Our reset kits will remove "replace part", "error 980" or light or message asking to replace the parts. If you are getting any different error code or symptom, before applying our reset kit, kindly ask us for tech support. We can help you quickly.
Please note that all brand names and trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used for descriptive purposes only. This product is a compatible product, not an O.E.M. Product.
Q6 : How does it work?
Based on our experience, drum units, transfer belts, and fuser units are often durable enough to continue working for 2-3 more cycles beyond their specified page limits. In some cases, customers have even reported using these parts for up to 8 cycles with only minor printing issues, such as occasional dots. Previously, users had the convenience of resetting counters through the maintenance menu or easily replacing counter chips. Replacement was typically necessary only for physically broken parts or when printing quality became unsatisfactory.
To illustrate the situation, let's consider the example of a lawnmower used to cut grass in a private garden. If the manufacturer recommends replacing the blade after 100 uses, but the blade remains in good condition, it would be unreasonable to replace it without considering its actual condition. Sometimes, even if a small portion of the blade becomes dull due to contact with trees or roots, the performance may still be acceptable to the user, who would prefer to continue using the same blade rather than spending money on a replacement. It would be frustrating if the lawnmower had a counter system that issued a warning message at the 95th use and completely stopped functioning at the 105th use, with no way for users to override the blade change requirement.
Unfortunately, a similar situation occurs with laser printer parts. Most printer manufacturers have made it increasingly challenging to reset counters by implementing complex designs that hide counter circuits inside and removing the counter reset menu from the user-accessible maintenance menu. This prevents users from reusing parts and obligates them to replace components after a specific number of pages, regardless of the actual condition of the parts. This practice leads to unnecessary expenses and environmental waste as users are compelled to replace parts, even if they are still functioning well.
In an attempt to avoid these limitations, some users have resorted to opening complex parts to reset counters, which is time-consuming, difficult, and potentially dangerous. Others have tried using higher-rated fusible links in a risky manner, risking short-circuit issues and permanent damage to the printer.
To address this issue, we have developed our EASY RESET kits. These kits feature sticker-type thin counter chips with OEM-grade fusible links, ensuring reliable reset functions. They are designed for easy application by ordinary users, taking less than 25 seconds, without the need to dismantle complex parts or replace hidden counter circuits. By using our reliable reset kits, you can save time, money, and contribute to environmental sustainability by extending the lifespan of printer parts that are still in good condition. Use our reputable reset kits like ours to save time, money, and contribute to a more sustainable approach to printing.
Q7 : What are the main benefits of using it?
A : QUICK, EASY, SAFE & HUGE SAVINGS in ECO-FRIENDLY way.
By re-using the parts, you will save huge and unnecessary cost. The reset kit installation is as easy as or even quicker and easier than replacing the parts, thus you will save your time. Finally, re-using the parts will reduce the amount of landfill, thus, it will save environment.
Q8 : Can I re-use the reset chips/kits?
A : Yes (for Reusable Kits) / NO (for disposable kits)
This limitation is not imposed by us. Our reset circuits function in exactly the same way as the page counter circuits on new drum units, transfer belts, and fuser units. It's important to note that the counter is not saved on the parts themselves, but on the printer motherboard.
When a new drum, belt, or fuser unit is installed, it contains a special fusible link that generates a "NEW PART" signal upon the first installation. Once this signal is detected, the printer motherboard resets the relevant counter in its counter systems and cuts the fusible link on the part to prevent the same parts resetting counter on another printer. As a result, the new part will no longer be able to generate the "NEW PART" signal. This is why nearly new parts, even if they have only been used for one page on another machine, cannot reset the page counter on a different machine.
Similarly, when our reset chip is detected by your printer motherboard, ther printer resets the relevant counter and cuts the fusible link on our reset product, rendering it unusable for future resets.
We also offer reusable reset chips/kits that require a disposable reset fuse cartridge for each reset performed.
Q9 : When do I actually need to replace the parts? How many cycles can I re-use the parts?
A : There is no strict guide line for this. If the quality is acceptable, you can keep using the same parts.
Determining if a part is worn out is simple which can be done by evaluating the printing quality. If the printing quality meets your needs and remains acceptable, there is no immediate need to replace the parts. As the parts wear out, the printing quality gradually decreases. If the printing quality becomes unacceptable to you, that is when you would need to consider replacing the parts. The number of cycles you can reuse the parts depends on your printing quality requirements. If you require clean and sharp prints without any defects, reusing the parts for 2-3 cycles may be suitable. However, if you are content with some printing defects, you may not need to replace the parts until the issues become more severe, which could be 6-8 cycles later. In our test environments, we have seen parts work well for 4-5 cycles without any issues. So, reusing the same parts for 2-3 cycles is generally acceptable for most cases and more cycles if super clean/sharp prints are not a requirement.
It's important to note that using printer parts beyond the manufacturer's stated lifespan does not pose any safety issues. Similar to lawnmower blades, which are replaced when functionality or safety concerns arise, laser printer parts such as drum units, transfer belts, and fuser units will eventually wear out and need replacement. However, unlike lawnmower blades, there are no safety implications when using laser printer parts beyond their specified lifespan. Therefore, parts must be replaced if there are significant functionality issues. Otherwise, it is users choice.
Please remember that each time you reset the remaining life of the parts, you will need a new reset kit if you purchased a disposable version or a disposable fuse cartridge if you opted for a reusable version, both of which are available from us.
Q10 : When I get a printing quality issue, how do I know which part causes the issue?
If you are technically inclined, you can download the service manual for your printer model and search for "periodical marks" to identify the culprits based on the distance between the marks.
If you are not familiar with technical details, don't worry. We are here to assist you. Simply send us several clear and focused photos of the printed pages showing the printing defects. Typically, you will notice periodical marks consistently appearing in the same vertically location on all pages.
To help us identify the issue, place a ruler next to the paper in the photos so we can determine the radius/diameter of the culprit(s). Laser printer parts have unique diameters/radii on their rotational components, making it easier to pinpoint the problem. With your photos, we can determine the source of the problem and provide guidance to save your time, money, and contribute to a sustainable approach.
It's important to note that if the part is physically broken, our page counter reset kits will not fix the issue. In such cases, you will need to replace the broken part.
Q11 : Does it come with any instruction manual or video guide?
A : YES for BOTH
Our reset kits include a detailed instruction manual to guide you through the installation process. Additionally, you can find a video installation guide on this listing. Simply revisit this listing and play the instruction video to assist you with the installation of our reset kits.
Q12 : Should I wait until my printer shows PART REPLACEMENT message?
A : YES & NO
Our reset kits are designed to reset the remaining life of the part back to 100%, regardless of the current life remaining. They can be used at any time, even when the remaining life is above 95%.
For end-users, it's important to note that our reset kits are intended for one-time use and are not reusable. Additionally, our reusable kits require a disposable fuse cartridge for each reset. Therefore, if your main goal is cost-saving, it may be more beneficial to wait until the printer prompts you to replace the parts before using our reset kits.
However, if you are a printer seller or maintenance engineer and need to reset the counters before selling the machine or visiting the site next time, our product can be used to reset the remaining life back to full without waiting for the warning message to appear.
Q13 : How many pages will our product work for? ONE MORE CYCLE per kit.
The number of pages that our reset chip can work for depends on the specific printer model and the manufacturer-specified part life. If the part life is 30,000 pages, our chip will work for 30,000 pages. If the new part life is 100,000 pages, our chip will work for 100,000 pages. It is important to consider the part life specified by the manufacturer for your specific printer model. For users of our reusable reset kits, each reset will require the use of one disposable fuse cartridge, which can be purchased from us.
Q14 : My printer model number has different suffix which is not specified here. Will it work on my printer?
If the manufacturer and model number are listed, our reset kit will work on your printer model. Please disregard any suffixes or additional options mentioned in the eBay listing title, as they do not affect the compatibility of our reset kit. The main components such as the drum unit, belt, and fuser units are the same for printers with the same model number, even if they have different suffixes or options. For example, the OKI C711N, C711DN, and C711WT printers may have additional features or options, but they use the same hardware components, including the drum, belt, and fuser units. Therefore, our product for the C711 model will work on all C711N, C711DN, and C711WT models.

For example, the OKI C711N, C711DN, and C711WT printers may have additional features or options, but they use the same hardware components, including the drum, belt, and fuser units. Therefore, our product for the C711 model will work on all C711N, C711DN, and C711WT models.
