    Yes, you can't, Ricoh removed the ability to do this.

      Make 9,999,999 copies and maybe the counter will reach 000000.....

            ...and why would someone ever "HAVE" to reset an electronic counter other than to mis-represent the product they were selling?

              So you would buy a 7 year old car with 0000000 on the odometer? Sure...

              I'm sure that every model has a way of resetting the total counter. Resetting the counter and selling the machine is just a scam.

                    I am renting copiers, it suits me to start counting from zero, for an immediate view of the amount of work that makes the customer, I also happen to sell .... but an old car you see with the naked eye because Ricoh often turn yellow, so I see the scam ... also because the machines that I propose for sale have cost half what it was new, my posts are also entitled to personal culture ... and also because there is any customer who asks me
                    the counter to start from scratch!

                      Somehow I think the majority of this forums members think that this line is a load of shit

                        I think this forum is a valuable aid to those seeking to know ..... not a load of crap ..... and if someone was offended for asking the question a reset counter withdrawal!! ... indeed I say do not matter to me.

                          Re: reset general counter Ricoh

                          Very simple : tell your customer that this is a used machine that has made, for example 480,384 copies. Start counting from there.

                          There's a reason that many manufacturers make it as difficult as possible to reset the total counter. You just can't tell what happened to the machine. It could have made 50,000 copies, or 200,000, or 1,000,000? Who knows?

                            GTFOH. And don't let the door hit you on the way out. It slams hard.

                              If it's so important to you, bite the bullet and replace the NVRAM.

                              This is, and I'll type this very slowly so that you understand, they only way to do it.
