    BH-C-3110, resetting ImageUnits

    We ran suddenly out of reset chips to reset image units (drum units) for the BH-C-3110. Are there any soft switches which can reset those IU's like the toner cartridges?

      Can't they be set to not stop at eol?
      I just looked. Iu yield settings should be set to extension for 167% life.
      We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
      The medication helps though...

          Machine is rather new and the IU's come when the machine is new without chips. The problem is that I tried to continue with a used chip which didn't work. No way now to come back in the previous "no-chip" situation. Its asking for a K-IU and I have no K-IU chips for that.

                  The original "Chip" is just an resistor and a fuse. I soldered a push button with wires on an old "chip" to reset these kind of IU's. After reset just put back the old chip.
                  Maybe you can reuse the reset chip, or take some from old units? Could also try an pico fuse. Good luck!

                      Well, I made this up a few years ago for myself and co-irkers:

                      Started in the copier service business in the fall of 1988 and worked at the same company for 33.5 years, becoming the senior tech in 2004 but left to pursue another career on 4/29/22.

                          Thanks, I tried that all also the trick with the pico fuse. Did it before but I have no working old chip of the C3110 type at the moment. That's the problem.

                          One day I should figure out which is the resistance of the chip. The only way those chips represent a certain machine type/use/color must be through the resistance I believe.

                              Are you sure it can be done on C3110?
                              If i remember good, IU chip for C3110 have eeprom memory chip, not just resistor and fuse like some newer machines.
                              If this is possible it would be good information to know and try.
