If you are referring to the total copy count counter on the machine generally they are designed not to be reset, just like the odometer on a car.

Why do you need to reset it anyways? You can just take a meter when it gets delivered and go from there.

One of the best explanations I could find.
Its pretty immoral and possibly illegal to do so unless under advice from the manufacturers.
I wouldnt do it.

Replace (at the same time) ssd,mc board and mfp board, you will have a unit with zero count.

That would leave you with a machine without any factory data.
Have you tried this?

Agree with the others. Really can't be reset without a lot of hassle & $$$.

Hey Albonline, How much is it for all those boards? about $3,000 I'm guessing. You could buy low meter machine for less than that.

Re: Reset counter 454e

someone posted the special reset firmware on here before.

I have messed around with it once and only once in the past and it blows absolutely everything away including the meter reading. I'll never do that again.

Search function on this forum is useless as it doesn't work so good luck finding it now.

That's pretty funny...I guess it does accomplish what he wants to do though. PS..for any legitimate techs, don't try this at home. Emujo

I've had a counter reset on a c224 after lightning strike killed the NIC and corrupted the SSD board....yeah messing with all that was a huge PITA I wouldn't willingly want to do it...

Yes but in all my experience with SSD boards is you can't order them. Tech support has to approve it and ship one to you and you ship the old one back.

Exactly! would require a konica certified tech.
