Please follow the steps below to reset the protection counter effectively.

- Click “Particular adjustment mode” button.
- Select on “Waste ink pad counter” and click “OK” button.

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.

I extracted all files, reset the computer clock to 01-04-2008 but there is no accept button. When I hit Enter it seems to close that window which should be left open
When I click Particular Adjustment mode button it prompts me to “run’ this and then all 4 files disappear and I am left with a blank window
Help me please!!!
