The process involves a manual masking technique where specific electrical contacts on the cartridge print head are covered with tape to trigger a firmware reset during the alignment page printing process. Users are guided through identifying the red and blue contact points, executing the alignment cycles, and safely cleaning the contacts after the reset. Proper execution ensures the printer's internal sensors register the cartridge as fully functional, effectively bypassing low-ink indicators that may persist despite physical refilling or maintenance. The procedure is designed for standard inkjet cartridges that utilize physical contact pins for communication with the printer's print head assembly. Following these instructions carefully prevents hardware damage and ensures consistent print quality after the reset operation is successfully completed by the device firmware.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":30,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/technology/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/inkjet-printer-cartridge-reset-procedure/561118/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/inkjet-printer-cartridge-reset-procedure/561118.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Stanford","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/octet-stream","2026-10-21","2026-10-12",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":81},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the purpose of the tape on the cartridge contacts?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The tape serves to mask specific electrical contacts on the cartridge print head, which triggers the printer to initiate a reset and alignment process, allowing the printer to recognize the cartridge as full.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How do I know when the reset process is complete?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"The process is complete after the second alignment page is printed, the tape is removed from the cartridge contacts, and the cartridge is reinstalled into the printer, at which point it should register as full.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"Is it necessary to clean the contacts after removing the tape?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Yes, it is crucial to ensure there is no residual adhesive on the cartridge contacts after removing the tape pieces to maintain proper electrical connection with the printer.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},561118,1792504626,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":29,"category_name":30,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":81,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":8,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":81},2336477552062,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_994ba38a5ba835b3df7d355c54d3ed8d","RESETTING\n1.
