Cartridge/Machine Reset Guide 

Version 

16 

Now with HP & Lexmark common chip error codes! 

By Mike Josiah 

 
Welcome to the 16

th

 version of our Reset Guide! 

This guide continues to expand (sometimes on a 
daily basis), and it will continue to expand for the 
for-seeable future.  Although most machines these 
days are chip based, some still use the machine 
menu to reset the counter. As for the chip based 
machines, it basically comes down to if the chip 
stops that cartridge from printing or allows the 
cartridge to print but disables the toner low circuitry. 
We have tried to include this information where ever 
possible.  

New in this version, we have also included 

common chip error codes and their explanations. 
Sometimes what is perceived to be a chip error can 
be something else. Codes for HP and Lexmark 
machines have been included.  Rather than copy 
them for every HP and Lexmark engine, we have 
included a generic listing at the beginning of both 
the HP and Lexmark section. Only if there is a 
specific machine error code will there be anything 
under the actual engine. 

 
If you have information not listed here, please 
contact Mike Josiah at 
mjosiah@summitechnologies.com  so it can be 
included in the next version. 
 

 
 

 

Brother HL-630 OPC 

Brother Cartridge 

Part #DR-100 

OEM Stated Yield: 11-15,000 

 

This cartridge does not use any type of reset 
procedure. These cartridges according to the Brother 
manual should be replaced whenever the copy 
quality deteriorates. Since this could occur almost at 
any time, there is no need to have a counter. We only 
included it here because all of the other Brother 
engines DO have some sort of reset procedure.

 

 

 
 

 
 
 
 

Brother HL-720 OPC 

Brother Cartridge 

Part #DR-200 

OEM Stated Yield: 20,000 

 

New drum cartridges come with a clear “Starter 
Sheet” installed inside the cartridge. When the 
cartridge is installed and the cover closed, the printer 
will eject the sheet and at the same time, reset the 
drum counter. This sheet is also present in the DR-
300 cartridges. Replacement sheets are now 
available. 

 
 
 
 

Brother Intellifax 2800/2900/3800

Brother Cartridge  

Part #DR-250 

OEM Stated Yield: 20,000 

(Also used in the DCP-1000/MFC-4800 and 

MFC-6800) 

 

New drum cartridges come with a clear “Starter 
Sheet” installed inside the cartridge. Install the 
cartridge but keep the cover open. Press the 
“CLEAR” button to show the drum status. The 
display will show REPLACE DRUM? 1. YES 2. NO   
Press “1” on the telephone keypad.  The counter is 
reset!  Replacement sheets are now available.
