MP2852 counter reset

**jshah** · 10-03-2013

I replaced NVRAM and controller board of MP2852. Now counter is reset to zero. Is there a way to enter previous counter into the machine.

That's not possible.

Eric1968 is correct you start from 0 with a new NVRAM..............................

AFAIK the only way to restore the counter is if you had taken an NVRAM backup BEFORE replacing the NVRAM.

When you do a restore it then writes the data back to the NVRAM.

Incorrect with a new NVRAM (also called a minus counter in most manuals) the only data that isn't backed up is the total counter.

I stand corrected:

The following data stored in the NVRAM will not be saved to the SD card when you perform an
NVRAM data upload (SP5-824).
• Total counter value
• C/O, P/O counter values
• Duplex, A3/DLT/Over 420mm, Stapler, and Scanner counter values
• Engine SP data

Thanks Bantams!

Looks like we are moving backwards i.s.o. forwards these days!
