Re: Canon iP4000 Waste ink resetter.

You can set almost anything electronic back to zero (or start up) by turning it off and pulling the plug or removing the batteries. In other words, kill the brain for a rebirth. But you have to pull the plug because most stuff, including your printer, are not really off when you use the switch to turn it off.

How do I reset it to normal please? I need to do some more printing! HELP! I
have tried lots of options but without success.

Look at the 09/17/05 reply by Tony to the thread "Canon iP4000 service
manual" . The message contains the exact information needed not only on how
to reset the waste ink counter, but also how to print a status information
page. Page counts (total and broken down by paper type) are included. This
information is also in the .rar manual on pages 1-15 and 1-16 a description
of all the fields is available on pages 1-17 to 1-19.

Is there any way of getting a page count through the menu system of the
ip4000?
I could not find one in the .rar manual. My old Canon BJC600 used to when
doing
one of the test prints.

Thanks,

John B

I know it's early, but I have read that the waste ink sponge is
estimated
full by a printout estimator, and know from experience that it takes a
lot
of printing before this becomes saturated.

I have read that there is a way of resetting this counter yourself
instead
of having to send it back to an engineer who will charge megabucks for
doing
it.

Does anyone have a link to how this counter/indicator can be reset?

Thanks

Be warned not to reset the counter too often, there will be ink build up
in


the

sponge and at some stage this will have to be replaced or cleaned, if you 

reset

more than once and do not replace or clean the pad there is a severe
chance of
ink spillage onto the base of the printer, your desk and the
carpet. You have been warned:)

press and hold the Power button. (DO NOT release the buttons.
