Looking for reset hex code for Canon MC-20 Maintenance Tank (ImagePROGRAF-1000)
Title says it, this is for the MC-20 tank for a Canon pro-1000.
All these chip reads are 2KB reads, but they're padded to the end with 00s
I've read the used chip that was marked as "full" by the printer which contains:
deadchip.jpg
Offset: 0x02: 01
Offset: 0x18 : 37 D5 0E 00 AD 70 45
Offset: 0x23: 6D 5F
So i bought a "New" chip off ebay, and read the chip contents so I might be able to reset them in the future:
blankchip.jpg
Offset: 0x02: 01
Offset: 0x18 : FE FD 0C 00 31 32 3C
Offset: 0x23: 2D 75
After putting this one in, the printer said the tank was "90% used" with only 10% life remaining but unlike the first chip, it would allow me to continue printing, but probably not for long. And probably not enough to initialize any new cartridges.
So I read the chip again after the printer "initialized" it and it has this now:
blankafterinit.jpg
Offset: 0x02: 01
Offset: 0x18 : 10 CF 09 00 20 13 43
Offset: 0x23: 28 C3
I can't figure out any pattern or algorithm that it's using, or identify anything being written to the chip that might act as a printer ID (some epson printers write the serial # to the chip after initialization)
Does anyone have a known blank/new chip that they might have read with an i2c reader that they could share? Or perhaps someone knows what the algorithm used in the ebay chip resetter tools?
TIA!
