    I downloaded the reseteing software.It is working fine.But I get suprised because I expected the ink level on cartridges to show full after reseteing,but they remained at the same level!How the refilling can be successful when the intelligent chip is not reseted to full?
    Please help me on that.

    Hi Leonidas,

    Resetting software is not related to resetting ink level on cartridges. Resetting software is help you to reset the protection counter. If you don’t know what it’s all about, read “What is protection counter” article at this blog.

    If you want to reset the ink level of the cartridge, you need a tool name chip resetter, that available in the market.
