Hi, all-
Chip Resetters are a big, mysterious, gray area for me and I am hoping you will all gladly regurgitate your knowledge into this “printing chicklet’s” mouth (an analogy so disgusting it has me regurgitating a little.)
To provide a little context, I have an Epson P800 printer and I would like to reset my maintenance cartridges & possibly ink cartridges.
I watched Jose Rodriquez’s YouTube video “How to Reset the Maintenace Cart on the PRO 3800 and 3880”. This printer uses the same maint cart as my P800: the Epson T582.
In the video mentions using a QE 589 chip resetter.
What is the significance of “QE 589”? Is it revolutionary? Or new and improved?
I am guessing a chip resetter for a T582 cart will work in a 3800, 3880 or P800. Does this sound likely?
From what I’ve read it sounds like a 7 pin resetter might work for various chips, both ink & maint cart. Is this possible, or likely?
And how do chip resetters work? I mean in detail. What information is stored on the chips? I’d love some technical details on chip resetters.
Chip resetter boards appear to be pretty simple. I can't imagine they're all that different from printer to printer.
I have a 7 pin chip resetter that I bought to use with the ink chips on an Epson R2400. I tried it on my T582 carts and it flashed red then went to solid red. I’m guessing that may not have been a successful reset & indeed my printer didn’t allow me past the “insert a new cartridge” prompt.
Apologies for the rambling post, I’m hoping to get general chip resetter info as well as specific info for my situation.
Thank you,
Chris
