Re: reset counter
I don't want to achieve anything, just to know if we can reset or not,
the main reason is: I bought refurbish copiers like IR 2016/18,2022,2020, IR 4570. 3570, ....
when I checked the counter I found all the models, counters started from 4000 copies and IR 4570 was 40k copies, so I want to check if the counter changed or not.Comment

NO
It is illegal to tamper with this circuit in an attempt to falsify the counter readings of any Canon
Copier.

Counter Memory, Serial Number and Main Controller PCBs work as a set and are considered the “Soft Counter Circuit”.
The Counter Memory PCB is electronically stamped with the serial number from the Serial Number PCB. Neither the Counter Memory PCB nor the Serial Number PCB can be swapped to other equipment. The Counter Memory PCB keeps track of the total count, which cannot be erased or changed. The service counters are retained by the Main Controller. These counters can be reset manually through service mode. When the Counter Memory PCB must be replaced, after installing the new one, the new Counter Memory PCB learns the Total Count from the Main Controller. This is retained in SRAM on the Main Controller PCB and held active by means of an on board battery.**Knowledge is time consuming, exhausting and costly for a trained Tech.**

Re: reset counter
Yes, dishonesty is the norm nowadays, but to be fair I reread his initial post, firstly I don't think English is his first language and secondly the way I interpreted it he is purchasing copiers he suspects that have been clocked / tampered with and was curious to know if it can be done; may be wrong but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt........

Re: reset counter
low meter does not mean that they were tampered with. Those units could have been repossessed and just sitting in a warehouse for 5 or 6 years till you got your hands them. I see this all the time even when we have a customer who goes belly up and we have to take their machine back from them.Accidents don't just happen. They must be carelessly planned.Comment

Re: reset counter
It is also dependant on the enviroment they are installed in, we have iR 2022's at two customers that are 500 yards from each other, both were installed around 3 years ago. 1 has done close to 19k the other is approaching 90k.
As for playing with counters, it is a total no no. It drives me up the wall when I see one as I have to totally gut the machine and replace everything because you can't trust what is good and what isn't, and it isn't like the saleman saves anything because we crosscharge them for the costs and it comes out of their bottom line.Comment

Re: reset counter
With respect to your translations, to keep asking if "we" can change it.
That raised as red flag, as if your company wants to change the 40k to match the other 4k.
But you may mean we as "us copier techs"
The short answer is no, you can't change it.
The long answer is even if you can it won't be revealed here.Comment
