OEM Chip Reset Operation Instruction
Note: the operation procedure above is for BROTHER-1 series and it can also be applied
to other PCB boards.
3. Notice
For Brother’s chips, the chip models will not display on the Unismart device, and the
OEM chip will only be reset to its original model.
After resetting the OEM chip, if the ink in the cartridge is low or run out and WE STILL
install the chip at this time, the printer will confirm the actual chip life by the ink
detecting device on the cartridge and give “X” or “!” alerts. Meanwhile, the printer
will rewrite the chip’s data to related status.
The chip of starter cartridges can only be used in specific printer. For example, after
resetting the “LC201” chip and “LC203” chip of the starter cartridges, “LC201” chip
can only be used in printer A (applied to starter cartridge 201), and “LC203” chip
can only be used in printer B (applied to starter cartridge 203).
However, both standard yield “LC201” chip and high yield “LC203” chip can be
used in the standard cartridge.
