Zeroing cartridges serves as a kind of bypassing the refueling protection system that manufacturers install. The chip in the cartridge contains information about its fullness with ink, but after refilling it is recognized by the device as empty.

device for zeroing Lexmark cartridges
Instructions
Step 1
Find out what cartridges are installed in your printer. If these are the starting ones that came with the purchase, then in most cases they will not be refilled. If those that you purchased during the operation of the printing device, it is quite possible that you will not have problems with zeroing the chip. Even if your starter cartridges are not refillable, don't be discouraged, as there are enough commercial cartridge kits for multiple uses.
Step 2
Purchase a Lexmark Cartridge Programmer. When doing this, it is best to rewrite the cartridge numbers as there may be significant differences in hardware for different models. Programmers can be found in specialized copier service and sales shops, as well as in some computer stores in your city.
Step 3
Be sure to read the instructions for using the programmer, because otherwise you can damage not only the cartridges, but also the printer or MFP itself. Zero the chip following the instructions in the instructions.
Step 4
If you are not sure that you can do this operation yourself without errors, contact special services for servicing printing equipment. Also, it will not be superfluous to check the copy centers in your city, for sure there will be people there. Those who have already repeatedly zeroed the cartridge vultures, contact them for this service.
Step 5
Also try disabling ink cartridge monitoring. To do this, while the system gives you a message about out of ink, hold down the paper feed button for a few seconds. Then the chip will be reset and the function will be disabled. This is only available for a few printer models. Also try to disable this function programmatically by opening the settings of the printing device.
