Chip resetters are considered a "first aid" kit for anyone using 3rd party cartridges in an Epson inkjet printer. Any cartridge that is not an Epson cartridge is called a 3rd party cartridge (or non-genuine). To help yourself stay up and running when a non-Epson cartridge is in play there are a few options available. Since Epson would like to maintain as much of the market as possible 3rd party cartridge manufacturers have to stay ahead of the curve. A chip resetter is a tool to do just that - along with extra sets of ink cartridges.
Always use the restter BEFORE the cartridge reads empty. Once the printer reads a cartridge as "Empty", it will electronicly 'tag' the chip and prevent it from being reset. Our chip resetters use a special re-programming signal that will usually reset a chip to read full, but on some 3rd party chips it will not work (see disclaimer)
Production makes you money - not downtime - so have all the tools for success. This very inexpensive and reusable tool may never be needed or it may save you from a day or more of downtime. Since no one can know in advance if/when a chip will not set or stop reading having a "quick resolve" is worth its "weight in gold".
If a chip resetter does not work after several tries you may have a chip that is truly damaged OR, it has been tagged by the printer. Check with your distributor for replacement of cartridges that are still within the warranty period. Most of the time the resetter saves the day. Use this Chip Resetter for ONLY ONE MODEL PRINTER, do not use on different models after the first use.

INSTRUCTIONS: Align resetter 's 7 pins to the micro chip's 7 contact points. When contact is made with all 7 pins, the resetter will blink red several times. When reset is complete, the resetter will show steady green light. If you get a steady red light, the chip is no good.
