Canon printer cartridge chip resetters are devices designed to reset the memory chip on a Canon ink cartridge. These chips are present on many ink cartridges to track ink levels and ensure that the cartridge is recognized by the printer. Resetting the chip can sometimes allow a cartridge to be refilled and reused.
It's important to note a few things:
Third-Party or Refilled Cartridges: Many printer manufacturers, including Canon, design their printers to work optimally with original brand cartridges. While third-party or refilled cartridges can be used, they may not always provide the same performance and quality as genuine cartridges.
Compatibility: The effectiveness of a chip resetter depends on the specific model of the printer and cartridge. Not all cartridges or printers may be compatible with chip resetters.
Risk of Damage: Resetting a cartridge's chip may void the warranty and could potentially damage the cartridge or the printer. Use chip resetters at your own risk.
If you still wish to proceed with using a chip resetter, here are general steps that may apply:
Ensure Compatibility: Make sure the chip resetter is compatible with your specific Canon cartridge model.
Turn Off Printer: Before attempting to reset the chip, turn off the printer.
Remove Cartridge: Take out the ink cartridge that you want to reset from the printer.
Align Contacts: Align the contacts on the chip resetter with the contacts on the cartridge.
Press and Hold: Press and hold the resetter against the chip for a few seconds until any LED indicators on the resetter indicate that the process is complete.
Reinstall Cartridge: Put the reset cartridge back into the printer.
Remember, using chip resetters or refilled cartridges may not always provide the same print quality or reliability as original cartridges. If you encounter any issues or have concerns about using a chip resetter, it's advisable to contact Canon customer support for guidance. Additionally, keep in mind that using unauthorized methods to reset cartridges may violate terms of service or warranty agreements.

∙ 15y agoThe chip resetter resets the ink cartridge chip to a full condition. The printer reads this information and begins the timer for each individual cartridge during installation. The printer will also set the chip on the cartridge to used which makes it impossible to just refill it and use it again. The chip resetter allows you to refill and use until empty the epson cartridges.

What is the computer chip in all of the Epson cartridges and why is it neccesary?
The IC chip on Epson ink cartridges performs a variety of important functions. It identifies the cartridge model and ink color and communicates that information to the printer to confirm that the correct cartridge has been installed. It allows for the safe removal of ink cartridges, the chip records data such as installs and head cleans - it tells the printer what cartridge it is and estimated ink level. Ensures the wrong ink cartridge (i.e. for another printer) is not used, which could damage the printer.
Should I buy a Canon 511 ink cartridge?
It will not show full with refills, so you cannot 'fix it'. Cartridges have chips in them that send information to the printer. Once it has told the printer its empty the printer will continue to recognize it as empty but should still print. Only resetting the chip will help reset ink levels and there is no chip re-setter for your model cartridges available at this time that I am aware of.
What does incompatible print cartridge mean on an ink-jet printer?
It means that the cartridge is not recommended for use in the maker's printer. Or it won't physically fit inside the printer. Or it has been refilled, but the chip inside some cartridges won't recognize the refilled cartridge and marks it as empty.
What is a toner reset chip?
It's a micro-chip built into a toner cartridge. When the toner level drops below a pre-set minimum level - the chip signals the printer to inform the user that the toner is needing to be refilled. Once this action has been performed, the chip sends a 're-set message' to the printer, and it shows a full cartridge.

Can a lexmark 100a cartridge be refilled?
Yes. Any Lexmark cartridge with the A at the end of the cartridge number is a refillable cartridge. If it does not it is a "return program" cartridge that will "kill" the electronics once it reads empty causing the printer to reject the cartridge no matter the level of ink in it. recently Lexmark upgraded the software for the printers that take the 100 series cartridges. This was in effort to stop the after market counterfeit products that had counterfeit chips in them, or so they said......... was only part, in reality, it was to stop the consumers that had figured out that the 100A magenta cartridge chip was actually the same as the 100a Black cartridge chip. A black 100a cartridge was always more that the color ones. and it was the SAME EXACT CHIP. so they made the software to identify the place that cartridge was placed into, in other words that cartridge until is INSTALLED has no idea if it is black or color. Since all the A series cartridges can be REFILLED by you the consumer, you still have the ability to buy a new 100a color and change it out to a regular 100 OR 105XL cartridge, but it must be done BEFORE it is ever used in the printer. and yes the 105 Cartridges are the EXACT same cartridge in size shape and molding. so buy a 105XL take your smaller capacity 100A black cartridge chip out and place it in the 105XL , you have a NEW cartridge that cost you 5$ band new and now from now on you can get NEW cartridges for 5$ each and never have to refill again. Just keep changing the chips out every time you buy a new 105. to remove the chip, simply CAREFULLY peel back the label and CAREFULLY remove the chip transfuring it to the brand new 105 cartridge. NOTE ! the center of the chip has a hot melt plastic pole that goes thru the center of the chip, it can be removed with out breaking the chip board if you do it carefully! GENTLY using a flat smooth butter knife or something similar, sliding it under the Chip board and GENTLY pry it up. THROW AWAY the 105 chip so you don't get them confused. You still have the ability to use a color cartridge chip that is a 100A, in a Black cartridge, but it MUST be done before that color cartridge is installed in a printer, so remove the chip , don't throw away the color cartridge, you can still re chip it with a cartridge chip that has been in that colors cartridge that was already installed in your computer as long as it too was a 100A chip. You are in fact buying the chips for the price of the color cartridges about 10$ and being able to get a refillable Black XL cartridge for 10$ rather that $35-$39. Once you have a full set of 100A chips , you are set, and if a black cartridge fails simply buy another 105 rechip it as before, and Waa Laa , you have beat Lexmark at their own game.
