For the love of my life, I can't find any instructions as how to reset the ink cartridges. Did anyone figure it out?

This has worked for me but do at your own risk. Get a small piece of aluminum foil that will cover the tip of your pointer finger. Now look at the circuit board on the side under the clip. There should be two small gold dots close together on the top right under the clip. Put your pointer finger covered with aluminum foil over the two dots for a couple of seconds. You want to "connect" the two dots which should reset the chip.

there is a cheap in the rear side of tanks similar to what you can find in credit cards with two round pads. In order to reset the cheap you need to short circuit these pads by a conductor for example a forceps.

with a metal clip/ wire ( or two teeth of metal key) touch (short circuit ) the upper two yellow metal dots simultaneously . Usually resetting instructions comes with the cartridge...

Mine reset automatically only once but now both black ink cartridges don't want to reset, I tried to unplug it from outlet and many other ways but printer still shows error 1600.

Sorry, I can't be much help. I can't remember if that's the same problem I had. I know the ink cartridges were stuck on the left side. I researched and found out others had the same problem. I don't think I had the printer more than a year and a half. I contacted Kodak support and they had no solution that wasn't going to cost me a bunch of money, so I junked it, after trying to take it a part and fix it. This was obviously a technical malfunction not due to normal wear and tear.Kodak should have owned up and fixed it for free. I'll never buy another Kodak again!

First, are you sure it's the right model? Second, make sure to place the colored to the colored slot and black to the block slot. Did you peel off the protective film? If it doesn't work, try putting back the old ones again, try detecting it and check the ink level. Next remove the old ones and replaced it with the new ones. Do this one cartridge at a time. It would be better if you plug-in the printer to your computer using the provided usb printer cable. This is to eliminate the wireless problem part. If still it does not work, then the cartridge may have a problem.

I had to clean the cartridges and the printer slots to get it to work. Really clean them too, not just wipe it off with a towel. I used alcohol swabs and paper towels to dry everything

Same thing happened to us, and we had to replace the printer. We changed the ink out for first party manufactured cartridges, and it still didn't work. We were lucky they covered it under warranty, but it still doesn't make sense as to why it happened. Good luck.

Here's what worked for me... Take the old cartridge out &gt; Turn off printer &gt; turn printer back on with no cartridge &gt; wait until it tells you cartridge is missing &gt; insert cartridge &gt; It will again tell you it's not genuine ink, but this time it will prompt you with a message telling you basically what a terrible person you are, but then ask you if you want to use the ink anyways &gt; click yes. Done. (Your first print may take a while as it adjusts for the new ink)

Hello, I bought 5 sets of ink cartridges off of a seller on that large auction site thinking I would save loads of money. Followed the instuctions to a tee and my printer now does not recognize the chips. Tried reset hold/ OK hold, nothing. Wasted 36 bucks on 35 cartridges I cannot use, not to mention the huge mess when you open the "pressurized" new cartridges. Ink on clothing and desk with no fore-warning. Avoid the refill cartridges that you have to pull off the chip and reset it on the new cartridge unless you love throwing money away while becoming totally annoyed and exasperated at this exercise in futility.

When you installed it did you follow the instructions on the paper that came with it? I had the same problem until I followed each step which seemed to reset the printer.

No I have not found a way to do that. I just had the same problem and luckily had a new cartridge handy. I get the best service and prices from inkjetsuperstore.com. Also fast delivery. I always order 2 of what I need. So when I put in the second one, I order more so I won't be in a bind. Older printers would let you take out the cartridge and shake it and put it back in but not this one. This printer is not the easiest to operate. It has a mind of its own.

go to www.youtube.com and in their search box..type in your printer name and "ink refill instructions" look around at a few videos that may have your printer, and it will show you how to do it.if it is the question of the type of ink cartrage...and how to refill it..type in the number of the ink cartrage, and type of printer, and "refill" in their search..that will hopefully get you to your ink cartrage , and you will have a video of how to fill it and in what holes what ink to put in. hope this helps. :)

Remove the CIS Ink System and then snap it back in. Also on the top right of the Ink cartridge is a small white button. Press the button for about 10 seconds, close the lid and check. You may also try youtube, they have a lot of answers for the CIS Ink System.

On my printer I can refill and reset the original cartridges. I found that, when you get a message for empty cartridge you press and hold the stop button (not the on and off switch) for about 10 seconds.

Oh my I had the opposite problem! I was getting the ink system failure message before which made me consider a new printhead. I didn't know Amazon had them so I've ordered a new printer. Since it didn't help you maybe it wouldn't work for me. The reason for my problem-using remanufactured non OEM ink, the black cartridge was leaky. I thought it would be alright after wiping off and I did print some pgs. The problem was when I tried again about a month later..that's when I got the "ink system failure" msg and nothing I did took it away!

I see so many different resetters.. do you have a link to one that will reset OEM and the chips from these 3rd party cartridges? Ive ordered several more of the cartridges sets I also have the jigs that you can drill a hole in the sponge end and refill with a second part of the jig that has the refill needle in it... I would think that filling from the top of the cartridge would be easier.. I think there is a small "bb" that you can push thru and then put a plug in after you refill, but havent looked under the "push here" label to confirm that

I had the same issue. I took the ink out, shook it and unplugged the printer and replugged it. Good to go. Hope it works for you.

I had a similar problem but it wasn't the cartridges. I emailed Brother from their support website and within about a day they got back to me and gave me some suggestions. I tried them and was back up and running. You might try using the cleaning function on your printer especially if you had let the ink go completely dry (which is not a good thing). It turned out to be dirty print heads on my machine. Hope you get your machine running soon.
