HOW TO RESET YOUR INKJET PRINTER FIRMWARE TO FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS...

Major printer manufacturers such as HP in particular continuously try to thwart our ability to save money when using remanufactured ink cartridges. They accomplish this by periodically posting firmware driver updates and threatening that these updates must be downloaded in order for your inkjet printer to continue to perform properly. Nothing could be further from the truth! The truth is, if you download these firmware updates, you will only be able to use genuine OEM cartridges, as remanufactured versions will not perform properly. We guarantee our remanufactured cartridges will, in most cases, perform satisfactorily provided your machine is reset to its original factory default settings. If you have been "tricked" into downloading these firmware updates, we at DR. TONER, INC. have a remedy that will in most cases, allow the use of remanufactured ink cartridges. Please perform the following steps to perform a "HARD RESET" of your printers firmware back to factory default settings. "JUST SAY NO TO FIRMWARE & DRIVER UPGRADES!!!"


1) Remove cartridge(s) from the printer carriage.
2) Close cover and power off the printer.
3) Unplug printer from the wall ac power outlet.
4) Wait for approximately two minutes...this will completely reset the printer.
5) Plug the power cord back into the wall ac power outlet.
6) Power on the printer switch.
7) Once the printer is on, re-insert the cartridge(s) one at a time into printer carriage.
8) This reset excercise will allow the printer to accept the cartridge(s) in most cases.
