Re: Pantum P2502W Toner Reset Chip help

Thanks bc878!

I agree with your theory, and those instructions give reasonable warnings telling me important details about how it would work.

I had suspected the reason some cartridges stop after a count is not just to rob us but because the technology wears out fast when it can't pick up more toner, and this was a cheaper protection than sensing if toner is low.

I thought geekgirl1111 said she got it to print again after it had run out, with a hack-reset while still saying toner low. Now I realize she...

However I think 12 channel sound greatly improves limitations of the output hardware. Though our ears may seem limited with only two, our brain can process improvements over having only a couple outputs trying to mix all the instruments that should each be creating their own effects in the environment....

For anyone still wondering why we don't remove the blobs: The "chip under the blob" may not be what you think. The original idea was find markings on each chip for a part number to describe what protocol we need to explore. Problem is that blob *is the package*, not covering the package. Breaking into it is like breaking a DIP package open trying to read what's inside. The silicon inside will not have anything written and obviously, they haven't written anything on the outside of the package because they don't want to pay extra money...

Re: 8K is 4K and 4K is 2K?

Seems to me you never tried only #3 covered because you never uncovered #2 (which was a mistake) until after.

Only cover #3, printer on, later off, and when you remove the tape and power on, will apparently initialize correctly....
