You will have to put a new one in, or if you google it im sure you can find someone that can supply you with a resetter.

You can buy a new chip and put in developing unit.

Hi JSC,
i know what you mean, i try it.
I would prefer it if I could reset this

and perdana,
thanks for answer, but this is only for Imaging Units. Not for Developing Units.
Apparently there is not yet.


to all people,
what do you do with machines whose developer units have expired?
Buy new for 1000 € for 3 color units when the old ones are still good?

thanks guys

Copier Chips Ltd | Suppliers of Imaging Unit Chips Supply a dev interface and sims for resetting, why don't you use the latest firmware though? That's why it was released.

I looked at the firmware Data base and I don't see any listing for C2 firmware (at least that deals with the replace IU message) for any of the new color (C360/C652) boxes. Where did you see this info? Emujo

IU end of life message can be disabled
Description
With the new version of FW G00-C2 and above it is possible to disable the end of life
message for consumables.
This will enable the service technician to manage the replacement of consumables
based on customer needs and expectation of quality.
Considerations
If you decide to remove the end of life message then please be aware that
performance of consumables operating past the specified life is not guaranteed.
This Includes copy\print quality, paper jamming and any other issues caused by
extending the lifetimes.
Konica Minolta UK except no responsibility for any problems that occur when
extending consumable lifetimes past the Life Specification.
Notes
1) All setting advised in this bulletin must be made at the same time.
2) Even though the end of life message has been removed, when the specified life
value is reached the oil can warning icon will still appear.
3) The notifications on PSWC, Fiery Control Screen and CS Remote Care do not
change and end of life message is still apparent (MIB information is not changed).
How to apply end of life settings
1) Upgrade the FW to Version G00-C2 .
2) Make unit change setting.
Service Mode > System 2 > Unit Change > Set Service for Imaging Unit.

Nothing on the US site for this. I checked with our support group and they say not released yet so I guess the UK is the guinea pig for this KMMOD. Emujo

[Mr.Mel]

@ emujo - Do you have a G00 C2 firmware release at all?

[fornerm]
