    Panasonic CL-18 Print Cartrige reset

    Is there any way to revive a down print cartridge?
    We dont stock many of them because panasonics warrenty starts the day you buy it and the cart's are less than 50/50 of making it to its expected life. ugh panasonic...

    Just wondering if i can reset this thing to get the customer going until it arrives. i can only find every other counter reset for tc, au, str, dam near everything but the PC's

    The only way to reset the black or color drum (print cartridge) is to change the fuse on the cartridge to reset the counter in the machine. No way to reset through service mode. The cartridge has two fuse/resistors on it. The smaller one is 100ohm 1/8 watt but you need a metal film resistor (blue color body) versus regular carbon film (beige color body) or you may blow the main board -- this smaller resistor is the one that resets the count and blows out when a new cartridge is installed.

    Good luck, Monty
