chip resetter for epson r230

i have purchased an epson r230 with a continuous ink system and a resetter
chip.

i have the instructions for the continuous ink system but there were no
instructions on how to use the resetter.

i would be pleased if someone would post instructions on using the resetter
chips.

with thanks,
grant.

The one I used to have was really simple.

You just place the chip on the pins of the resetter, and press the red
button.

The light blinked twice, and that was it.

All done.

Please explain this better.... Did your CISS come with auto reset chips
already installed on the cartridges? If so, then there is no need to do
anything once the CISS is installed... normally when the ink levels drop
down to around 10% it will reset to 90%(which keeps the printer from
thinking they are new and recharging them and wasting ink) or you could have
the older style chips that reset to 100%. If your CISS didn't come with
chips installed... you may want to think of buying some auto reset chips for
your specific printer online.
I can't think of why anyone would have a CISS and have chips that would need
reset manually which would require taking the cartridges out of the printer
and using a resetter on them. Be sure of what you buy before you actually
buy it.

hi Stryker,
the printer arrived with a continuous ink kit and also two little plastic
blocks each with 3 electric connections that match the ink carts.

there are instructions for the ink system but none for how to install the
resetter. i can get the resetters into the cartridge carrige but i dont know
if i have to push buttons or wait for red lights to appear or disapear or
turn the printer off or what.

Grant.

Some of them reset by themselves automatically after a certain number of
usages, and some reset each time you turn on the printer, but always
leave them a half full setting. There may be other schemes as well.

These instructions are typically for people using OEM or 3rd party
cartridges which do not have a resetter chip, but have a standard chip.
Most resetter chips keep themselves set so they do not ever read empty.

Grant,

Just out of sheer curiosity, have you tried to ask the retail outlet source
you got the printer, continuous ink setter, and chip resetter from, how to
use the chip resetter? (Why not???)

Thats what you get when you get crap.&nbsp; Return them to the seller.&nbsp; You should only buy stuff that has documentation.

I'd certainly try the supplier first. Maybe a packer was taking
a break or simply not looking at the work.

As for anyone who thinks posting here is dumb somehow, I certainly
cannot agree with that. The whole purpose of this newsgroup is to
be useful; perhaps who cannot respond politely to a question does
better for everyone else, just not to post.
