Cartridge/Machine Reset Guide Version 4
By Mike Josiah, Summit Laser Products
In the early days of this industry, life was fairly simple. There were only 3 or 4 cartridges to remanufacture, and
nothing to reset. Then Sharp released the JX-9500 Engine which needed a fuse to reset the counter in the printer.
Okidata followed suit with the OL-400 where you have to follow a procedure through the menu of the printer.
These days, almost every engine released has it’s own unique reset procedure. Even Canon has gotten into the act
with their color lasers (HP-4500, 8500). The drum units have a microprocessor (IC) that has to be reset or
replaced in order for the cartridge to continue to work.
How to reset a particular cartridge or machine has become the most commonly asked question our technical
support department gets. (Especially from delivery people at the customer’s site!). With the amount of different
engines being used these days, it's almost impossible to keep all of these procedures committed to memory. In
light of this, we have compiled the reset procedures for the more popular machines/cartridges being used today.
They are listed in alphabetical order.
Some of the cartridges/machines listed currently cannot be recycled, (usually due to a lack of replacement parts).
We are listing those now against the day that replacement parts become available.
Since cartridges that need some type of reset seem to be the wave of the future, this will be a work in progress.
As such we will be posting updates to this guide on our web site as they become available. If you have a reset
procedure that you have confirmed works and is not listed here, please let us know and we will include it in our
next update. This is definitely an area where a little knowledge shared can benefit the entire industry!
We highly recommend that a copy of this guide be kept in your delivery van.
We would also like to add a special thanks to Brett at The Parts Drop for his help on the Xerox machines.
Brother HL-630 OPC
Brother Cartridge Part #DR-100
OEM Stated Yield: 11-15,000
This cartridge does not use any type of reset procedure. These cartridges according to the Brother manual should
be replaced whenever the copy quality deteriorates. Since this could occur almost at any time, there is no need to
have a counter. We only included it here because all of the other Brother engines DO have some sort of reset
procedure.
Brother HL-720 OPC
Brother Cartridge Part #DR-200
OEM Stated Yield: 20,000
New drum cartridges come with a clear “Starter Sheet” installed inside the cartridge. When the cartridge is
installed and the cover closed, the printer will eject the sheet and at the same time, reset the drum counter. This
sheet is also present in the DR-300 cartridges.

Brother HL-1040 OPC
Brother Cartridge Part #DR-300
OEM Stated Yield: 20,000
New drum cartridges come with a clear “Starter Sheet” installed inside the cartridge. When the cartridge is
installed and the cover closed, the printer will eject the sheet and at the same time, reset the drum counter. This
sheet is also present in the DR-200 cartridges.
Brother HL-1240 OPC
Brother Cartridge Part #DR-400
OEM Stated Yield: 20,000
After replacing the drum unit, keep the front cover open and press “Clear”. The display will show “Replace
Drum? 1.Yes 2.No” Press “1” the display will show “Accepted”, close the front cover. The counter is reset!
Canon NP-1010/1020/C-100 OPC
Canon Cartridge Part # F43-2101-700
OEM Stated Yield: 15-20,000
The copier will show “Replace Drum” when the waste chamber fills up with toner. The cartridge must be taken
apart, cleaned thoroughly, drum and wiper blade replaced (uses A-30 parts). Make sure that the waste chamber is
cleaned thoroughly as the machine will not reset if there is toner left inside.
Canon NP-6012/C-120/6412 OPC
Canon Cartridge Part # F43-5411-700 (NPG-11)
OEM Stated Yield: 30,000
To reset the counter in the NP-6012/6412/C-120 OPC cartridges the connector on the rear of the cartridge must
be replaced. New replacement chips are available with the housing. Unscrew the old connector and replace with
the new. These drums are rated for 30,000 pages.
Canon NP-6016/C-160 OPC
Canon Cartridge Part # F43-4921-700 (NPG-9)
OEM Stated Yield: 40,000
The drum unit for these cartridges is rated for 40,000 pages. The machine will show “Replace Drum” at 40,000
pages or when the waste toner section is full. These cartridges have a reset chip built into the connector. This
connector must be reset before a rebuilt cartridge will work. Currently no new replacements are available, but
there are some companies that will reset the OEM chip for you.
Canon NP-6521/C-200 OPC
Canon Cartridge Part # F43-4921-700 (NPG-9)
OEM Stated Yield: 50,000
These machine use the same cartridge as the NP-6016, but the yield is 50,000 not 40,000. Since the same chip is
used, the decision must be made by the machine not the cartridge.
The drum unit for these cartridges is rated for 50,000 pages. The machine will show “Replace Drum” at 50,000
pages or when the waste toner section is full. These cartridges have a reset chip built into the connector. This
connector must be reset before a rebuilt cartridge will work. Currently no new replacements are available, but
there are some companies that will reset the OEM chip for you.

Canon PC-850
Canon Cartridge Part # F100 (F41-9921)
OEM Stated Yield: 10,000
If the "Replace Cartridge" light is still lit in the display after replacing the cartridge, the customer can follow the
below steps to reset the copier. This procedure should be done every time the cartridge is replaced:
Hold down the "A" (Automatic Exposure) key for approximately four (4) seconds or longer.
After approximately four (4) seconds have elapsed, "UC" appears in the Copy quantity/Copy ratio display. Press
the "Start" key. "UC" will flash for about 20 seconds in the Copy quantity/Copy ratio display. The copier will
automatically perform a toner distribution operation, and then you will return to the normal copying mode.
NOTE: - Be sure to press the "A" key after replacing each cartridge. If you do not, your first few copies will
not be clear copy images or the Replace Cartridge indicator may light. If either of these two problems occurs,
press the main unit power switch to OFF and then to ON again. Afterwards, perform the above steps.
If copies are too dark or too light after you have replaced the cartridge, open the front door and adjust the copy
exposure using the exposure re-calibration slide control switch.
DEX 625 (Samsung SF-5500)
Dex Cartridge part # 6950
OEM Stated Yield: 12,000
This cartridge is actually two separate cartridges, a toner and a drum cartridge. They are sold as one unit under
part # 6950. NOTE: It is very easy to ruin the sensor on these cartridges when cleaning. They are very static
sensitive. We highly recommend that the sensor be removed before cleaning and replaced before the cartridge is
filled.(There is a hole in the chamber that will leak if not replaced.
There are two reset procedures that must be followed in order to have this cartridge operate properly. On the
drum unit there is a glass fuse that must be replaced. The fuse is a 125V,100mA, 5x20mm fast acting glass type.
Once the cartridge(s) have been installed, you must perform the toner initalization. Press FUNCTION, 7, YES,
NO, YES, YES. The machine is reset!
Fuji-Xerox XP-11 Toner & OPC (Xerox 4030)
Xerox Part #’s 6R281/13R32
OEM Stated Yield: 20,000
With the printer off, press and hold the reset button located next to the power cord. While still holding the reset
button in, turn the power on. The reset procedure is the same for both the toner and drum cartridges.
HP Color LaserJet 4500 OPC (Canon LBP-83X)
HP OPC Part # C4195A
OEM Stated Yield: 25,000
These cartridges have what has become known as a killer chip installed on the left side of the cartridge. The chip
is actually just an IC plugged into a socket on the back of the electrical connector, which can easily be changed. It
would seem that HP or Canon has plans to recycle these cartridges. Even though they look the same, the
programming on these chips is different from the HP-8500.
New reset chips are now available to reset these cartridges. These cartridges also have windows that work with an
optical sensor inside the printer that determines if the waste chamber is full or not. It is more than likely that if the
waste chamber fills up, the machine will shut down. We are not sure if the cartridge waste chamber is cleaned
out, it will continue to run until the chip finishes its page count. The Canon version of this printer is the CLBP460PS

Kyocera F-1000 OPC
Kyocera OPC Part # DK-3
OEM Stated Yield: 10,000
There is a small black fuse located on the board inside the cartridge. This fuse must be replaced each cycle by unsoldering the old and soldering in the new. This fuse is a special 250mA one that should be purchased from your
supplier. The same fuse is used in the F-3010 OPC Cartridge.
Kyocera F-3010 OPC
Kyocera OPC Part # DK-2
OEM Stated Yield: 10,000
There is a small black fuse located on the board inside the cartridge. This fuse must be replaced each cycle by unsoldering the old and soldering in the new. This fuse is a special 250mA one that should be purchased from your
supplier. The same fuse is used in the F-1000 OPC Cartridge.
Lexmark Optra Se
Lexmark Cartridge Part # 12A0825 (Prebate), 12A0725 (Non Prebate)
OEM Stated Yield: 23,000 (Both) (Lexmark does not currently produce a low yield cartridge.)
The “Prebate” cartridges have what has become known as a killer chip installed on the top left side of the
cartridge. The packaging for the chip looks more like a battery than a chip, but it is definitely a chip. This
package allows a special reader inside the machine to read the chip with out any wires connecting it. Some
companies are now starting to offer a reset service, but there may be some restrictions. Check with your supplier
for more information. On the Non-Prebate cartridges however, the chip is also present, but the killer part is not
active. These cartridges can be re-manufactured as much as you want , the chip will not interfere.
Lexmark 4069 (Optra T)
Lexmark Cartridge Part # 12A5840/12A5845 (Prebate), 12A5740/12A5745 (Non Prebate)
OEM Stated Yield: 5840/5740: 10,000. 5845/5745: 25,000
The “Prebate” cartridges have what has become known as a killer chip installed on the top left side of the
cartridge. The packaging for the chip looks more like a battery than a chip, but it is definitely a chip. This

Lexmark 4045 (Optra M)
Lexmark Cartridge Part # 17G0152/17G0154 (4K00198/4K00199 Discontinued)
OEM Stated Yield: 0152: 5,000, 0154: 15,000
Included here only because of the physical similarity to the other Optra S, Se. & T. These cartridges do not have
any chips, or anything else that has to be reset. They even eliminated the Yield Wheel! At this time there are only
“standard “ cartridges, Prebate cartridges have not been released, and there does not seem to be any plans for
Lexmark to do so.
Minolta Color PageWorks
Minolta Part # 1710437-001 (Black), 1710437-004 (Cyan), 1710437-003 (Magenta), 1710437-002 (Yellow)
**Old Minolta Part Numbers 0940-501/701/401/601 Discontinued**
OEM Stated Yield: 20,000 (Minolta and Lexmark)
Lexmark Optra SC 1275 Toner
Lexmark Part # 1361751 (Black), 1361752 (Cyan), 1361753 (Magenta), 1361754 (Yellow)
The Minolta Color PageWorks Toner cartridges all have a glass fuse located under the two metal contacts on the
bottom of the cartridge. The replacement fuse is a fast acting, 5 x 20mm, 250V, 80mA, glass type. These fuses
should be replaced every cycle. The Minolta and Lexmark cartridges are NOT interchangeable. The small fins on
the bottom of each are in different locations. These fins will block the installation of the wrong cartridge into the
machine. The same fuses are used for both cartridge types.
Mita LDC-650
Mita Cartridge Part # 63582010, Pitney Bowes Part # 9640
OEM Stated Yield: 10,000
On the gear side of the cartridge there is a large white gear with a floating tab mechanism that has two notches in
it. For the machine to accept the cartridge as new, the tab must be set so that the outermost notch is engaged. Be
careful to reset this tab after testing as it will automatically move to the inner notch every time the cartridge is
installed. If the tab is left in this position, the machine will show change cartridge when the cartridge is installed.
NEC LC-800 OPC
NEC OPC Cartridge Part # 20-020
OEM Stated Yield: 7,000

Press and hold the PC RESET button down. While continuing to press the button, insert the OPC cartridge.
Release the button and close the door. Press the ONLINE button. The counter is reset!
OKIDATA DRUM CARTRIDGES
Okidata over the years has released a lot of printers/fax machines all with different engines. Unfortunately almost
all of them require a different reset procedure. In fact even some of the machines that use the same engine have
different reset procedures! The following procedures are grouped by the Engine, (underlined), and then by the
machine model number/s. The machine model numbers are also in a slightly smaller point size. The first engine is
the Okidata OL-400/800, but the first actual reset procedure is for the OL-800 series only, followed by other
machines that use the same engine but have different reset procedures. Just to make things a little more crazy,
there are also machines that use different engines, but use the same reset procedure. These are grouped as above,
but with a note that says what other machines also use that procedure.
Hopefully this will help clear up some of the confusion on what procedures to use.

Panasonic KXP-4410 OPC Cartridge
Panasonic OPC Cartridge part # KXPDM4/5
OEM Stated Yield: 12,000
This cartridge uses an optical reset. The waste chamber must be spotless !! There is a float inside that moves up as
the waste toner increases. If you remove the small circuit board on the side you will see a small clear piece of
plastic. This must be spotless and the float should be at the base. If this piece is dusty, or the float is up the printer
will not reset.
Panasonic KXP-4420 Toner/4420 OPC
Panasonic cartridge Part #’s KX-P451, KX-PDM2
OEM Stated Yield: 18,000
Both of these cartridges use a simple 1/16 amp fuse that must be soldered in. The OEM fuse looks like a black
transistor. Most of the replacement fuses being sold are in a resistor type package. The physical looks of the fuse
don't matter as long as it is 1/16 Amp-fast blow. This is the same fuse as used in the 4450 OPC cartridge.
Panasonic KXP-4400 OPC Cartridge
Panasonic OPC Cartridge part # KX-PDM6
OEM Stated Yield: 6,000
This cartridge uses an optical reset. The waste chamber must be spotless !! There is a float inside that moves up as
the waste toner increases. There is a small clear piece of plastic on the waste chamber with a black plastic float
inside. This must be spotless and the float should be at the base. If this piece is dusty, or the float is up the printer
will not reset.
Panasonic KXP-4450 OPC Cartridge
Panasonic OPC Cartridge part # KX-PDM1

Place a ¾” piece of “Scotch Tape” over the rectangular hole on the right front cover. The tape will momentarily
press in a lever inside the machine and start to reset the counter. The tape will then break releasing the lever
finishing the reset procedure. Make sure you use a thin tape and not a packing tape as it is important that the tape
break fairly easily.

Sharp AL-1000/Xerox XD-100 Toner Cartridges
Sharp Cart. # AL-100TD, Xerox Cart. # 6R914
OEM Stated Yield: 6,000
The standard AL- 100TD, and 6R914 cartridges are not interchangeable. They have Oblong tabs on the back side
of the cartridges that are in different locations. These tabs block the use of one brand in the others machine. These
cartridges also do not have any type of reset. There is a sensor inside the cartridge that measures the mixture of
toner to developer. As long as there is enough toner for a good mixture level, the toner lamp will stay off. There
are no page counters or “Killer Chips” for these cartridges.
There are other versions of these cartridges however that do have “Killer Chips”. The following are the current
Sharp AL-1000 Engine based cartridges that also have the chips in them.
Sharp AR-150 Toner
Sharp Cartridge Part # AR-150TD
OEM Stated Yield: 6,000
These cartridges use the same supplies to recycle as the AL-1000 (XD-100) cartridges. The difference is that the
oblong tab on the back side if the cartridge is placed differently, and the cartridge has a “killer chip” that shuts the
machine down after 10,000 pages. These cartridges are designed to be recycled by Sharp authorized dealers. As
such, replacement chips are available from authorized Sharp dealers, and now generic chips are also available.
Since the chip shuts down the cartridge at 10,000 pages, you can recycle the cartridge 2-3 times with the same
chip with out any problems. However, even if you just recycled the cartridge, once the page count reaches
10,000, you will need to replace the chip. To make matters even more confusing, it seems that non-network
(Copier Only) machines do not need the chip installed at all! We think (but have not yet been able to confirm),
that replacing the chip every cycle will prevent the machine from shutting down. That is an increase in cost, but
that way you don’t have to track the usage on your customer’s machine, or for that matter, the type of machine
they have.
Xerox WorkCentre Pro 16 Series Toner
Xerox Part # 6R972
OEM Stated Yield: 6,000
Starter cartridges do not have a chip installed.
The WorkCentre Pro 16 cartridges also use a chip, but in this case the chip does not seem to shut the machine
down right away. This seems to work the same as the Sharp AR-150; it can be recycled 2-3 times before the chip
shuts the cartridge down. Replacement chips for these cartridges are not yet available. These cartridges differ
from the others in that the “Oblong Tab” on the back of the cartridge has it’s own unique location. In addition to
the tab, the Waste Chamber is also different. It has a different shape, and is held on by one screw at the top, and a
plastic tab on the bottom.
Xerox WorkCentre Pro 215 Toner
Xerox Part # 6R988/6R987
OEM Stated Yield: 6,000
It is highly probable that these cartridges use the AL-1000 Toner and Developer. The problem is that these
cartridges also have a “Single Use Killer Chip”. Unlike the other chips in this series, this chip shuts down the
cartridge after the first cycle so it will be necessary to replace it each time. Replacement chips for these cartridges
are not yet available. These cartridges also differ in that the “Oblong Tab” on the back of the cartridge has it’s
own unique location

Both of the above cartridges are different, and not interchangeable but the reset procedures are the same. (These
procedures are the same for the XC-800/Z-835 copier OPC cartridges). These cartridges are the most popular.
There are also other cartridges that use the same supplies, but are physically different. There are tabs on the top of
the cartridge that block installation into another brand copier. These tabs are different for each cartridge type.
If the cartridge is not a "Starter cartridge", there are two white gears inside the green end cap. On the large white
gear, remove the clip ring and turn the gear back to the start position. (This is so the actuator (or flag) is next to
the small gear). On some cartridges the "flag gear" is now black. It is located to the bottom right of the white
gear. Make sure that when you snap the green end cap back on, the notch on the small gear lines up with the tab
on the large single gear that is on the cartridge. Once everything lines up, snap the end cap in place. This is tricky,
take your time!
To reset the starter cartridge, or any cartridge through the menu, do the following:
Enter the diagnostics menu by turning the machine on, and within 4 seconds, press "CLEAR", "EXPOSURE
MODE", "CLEAR", "EXPOSURE MODE". (EXPOSURE MODE is the button on the far left). All of the display
will go blank. Using the 10 and 1 buttons (copy quantity), enter "24" press "PRINT", enter "7" press "PRINT"
again. The counter is now set to Zero!

This cartridge needs to have the fuse replaced each cycle. The replacement fuses are physically different from the
OEM but work the same. The fuses for this cartridge are a special, very fast acting, type and must be ordered
from your supplier. The replacement fuse must be inserted across the two screws as shown. We have found it
best to use solid telephone wire and wire wrap around the fuse posts. Soldering wires to the fuse can cause the
fuse to blow if too much heat is used.

With the exception of starter cartridges, These cartridges have a small board located on the end of the cartridge.
The small surface mount micro fuse (125mA) must be replaced each cycle. If you have a starter cartridge the
machine must be reset through the menu. (Starter cartridges do not have a fuse board.) Almost all of the machines
have a different, and complicated reset procedure. Two of the most popular machines are listed below. Other
machines probably also have a similar type of reset procedure, but we have not been able to confirm them.

OEM Stated Yield: 10,000 (All)
There are three major versions of these cartridges. Two use an external counter and one doesn't use one at all.
The older style 1305 has no counter. The label on top of the cartridge has a place to write down the starting page
count. You are supposed to keep track of the pages printed. The next version had a Black plastic counter. This
counter has to be replaced every cycle. New counters are available as well as a reset service. The last version
(actually the TEC-LB1321/1323) uses a Green plastic counter. This must also be replaced every cycle. No reset
services are available for the green counters. The following chart lists by Manufacturer and OPC Cartridge the

There is a small circuit board inside the OPC cartridge. The old fuse must be unsoldered and a new one installed
each cycle. The fuse is a 125V, 2AG,1/8A glass type with axial leads for soldering.
Xerox Country Codes:
Xerox lists two to three digit codes for most of their cartridges. Most of the time the cartridges are identical, but
the reset chips are programmed differently. The following list is not all the country codes, just the ones we have
been able to confirm. US=USA, WH = Western Hemisphere, XCL = Xerox Limited (Canada), XL = England,
RX = Rank Xerox. As we are able to confirm other country codes we will list them on our web site.
Xerox DC 212/214
Xerox Cartridge part # 113R180/113R181
OEM Stated Yield: 14,000
To reset the counter in the DC 212/214 OPC cartridges the connector on the rear of the cartridge must be
replaced. This will clear the J7 or J8 codes. J7= change copy cartridge, J8 = wrong or bad connector.
There are many different cartridges that use different connectors for these machines. A list of some of them is as
follows: 113R180/181 (US), 113R287 (Retail Stores), 113R286/113R182 (XL), XL = Xerox Limited /Europe
If you are outside the US, and are not sure what type of connector to use, it is possible to find out by going into
the machines diagnostics. To do this turn the machine off, press the “0” while turning the power on, press the
Stop/Clear button. The lights will go off and “---“ will show on the display. Wait 30 seconds for the optics self
test to complete. Enter “202” and press print. If the display had a J8 code before starting, it will show two three
digit numbers in sequence. The first three digit number shows the type of replacement cartridge that the machine
is expecting. 001=113R180/181, 005 = 113R287.
If the cartridges your machine needs is not available, you can change what type of cartridge the machine will
accept by doing the following. Enter the diagnostics mode as in above. Enter “406 “ and press Print. Turn off the
power and install the correct cartridge. The machine will now look for that type of cartridge from now on. Only
do this if you are sure that you will be supplying the cartridges for this machine. If the customer goes out and
purchases the “correct” cartridge that was made for his machine, it will no longer work until the above procedure
is run again.
Xerox N-24/32/40
OEM Stated Yield: 20-23,000 (Depending on cartridge)
This engine has more non-interchangeable cartridges than any engine I have ever seen. All of them use a "smart
chip" that is built into the connector. Almost every type of cartridge has it's own individual smart chip. Since
every individual cartridge has it’s own chip, it is imperative that you have the OEM cartridge part number when
ordering the chips! The reset boards are now available with the plastic housing so that soldering the chip in is no
longer necessary. There are also services where you can have the old chip reset. There are still cartridges that do
not have replacement chips available yet. These are mainly international, but not all. Look for a chart on our web
site that lists machines with tested cartridges, and cartridges that have not been tested yet

There are 3 main versions of this cartridge so far. The Xerox Docuprint P8e 113R296/100R364, WorkCentre 385
113R 296, and the Lexmark Optra E310/312 NOTE: Lexmark has replaced the 12A2202 (5k) cartridge with the
13T0101 (6k) cartridge. The new cartridge works in both machines.
When recycling these cartridges the fuse must be replaced in the Xerox cartridges. The Lexmark cartridges have
a plastic dummy fuse in it. There has been some conflicting information on if the fuse should be replaced or not,
the following should help to clear it up. If the machine says toner low and the cartridge is changed. A new fuse is
not needed. However if the machine says change cartridge, the fuse is needed. Since you really have now way to
know the state of your customers machine, we recommend that the fuse be replaced each cycle. These fuses are
very inexpensive, and this way you have no worries! There have recently been reports of starter cartridges with
the plastic dummy fuses. Those fuses must be replaced with a real fuse. The fuse is a 125V,100mA, 5x20mm fast
acting glass type.

The 1012 OPC cartridges look very similar to the5011 and 5012, but they are different and NOT interchangeable.
There are now many different Xerox part numbers for these cartridges. They are interchangeable, just sold from
different sources. A list of some of them is as follows: 13R8 (US), 13R10, 13R30, 113R92 (Retail Stores), and
13R500.
This cartridge uses an optical reset similar to the Panasonic 4410. The waste chamber must be spotless, and the
float in the down position. There is a clear plastic bubble on top of the cartridge. This is what the sensor looks at
and it must be spotless! The J7 code is triggered when the waste chamber fills up and moves the float into the
bubble, interrupting the optical sensor.
Xerox 5011 OPC
Xerox cartridge Part # 13R44
OEM Stated Yield: 18,000
The 5011 OPC cartridges look very similar to the1012 and 5012, but they are different and NOT interchangeable.
These cartridges use a reset fuse board located inside the connector. The connector must be un-soldered and a
new one soldered in. Be very careful not to melt the cable when soldering. Make sure that you use the correct
connector. The 5012 will not work in the 5011 and vice-versa. To tell if you have the correct connector, read the
resistance between pin’s 3 & 6. 5011 connectors read 15,000 ohms while 5012 connectors read 1,500 ohms.

Xerox 5018 OPC
Xerox Cartridge Part # 13R9
OEM Stated Yield: 18-22,000 (Depends on Machine)
There are a variety of cartridges now available for these machines. They all use the same supplies. 13R9,
13R74(US), 113R161 (Retail) 113R93 (Missing Internal Counter), 13R13(RX), 13R18(XLA), 13R505 (XCL).
The 5334 cartridges appear similar but are different. They still use the same supplies to recycle, but they do not
have a reset counter installed inside. They also have an extra tab on the back side of the cartridge that stops the
cartridge from being installed completely in a 5018 machine. The cartridges used in these machines are the
13R67 (US), 13R68 (RX/XL), 13R69 (XLA), 13R520 (XCL). These machines are basically set up to “run for
life” in other words, the drum cartridge is run until there is a problem. At that point another cartridge is installed,
and the machine continues to print. There is no reset involved.
A code (J2) may show on the 5624, and 5824 machines, to clear it do the following: Enter the diagnostics by
holding the”0” while turning on the machine. Enter “9”, PRINT, “50”, PRINT. This will start the machine up
and clear the J2 code. Information on these machines is still a little vague as we are still in the learning process.
The 5018 OPC cartridge must be disassembled so that you have access to the mechanical counter. New OEM
replacement belts are now available making any Xerox machine warranty issues hard to enforce.
Turn the cartridge so that the Counter is in front of you. On the left side of the counter, there are two white levers.
While pressing both of the levers down, turn the large black gear backwards,(Clockwise). Stop when the green or
knurled section of the gear is visible through the small hole in the cover. (You must loosely place the cover over
the Waste Chamber, the hole is located under the J2 label. Once this gear is in position, release both of the levers.
At this point you should not be able to turn the large black gear. If you can, press down both levers and turn the
gear one or two more "clicks" until the gear is locked. The two White Levers should stay flat.

There are many different cartridges that use different connectors for these machines. A list of some of them is as
follows: 113R79/113R80/113R85 (US), 113R86 (US connector works), for the 113R81/113R82 cartridges no
connectors are available.
If you are outside the US, and are not sure what type of connector to use, it is possible to find out by going into
the machines diagnostics. To do this turn the machine off, press the “0” while turning the power on. Enter “3”
and press print, enter “3” again and press print. The display will show the installed cartridge type. 4=US , and
Europe 5113/5114 7 = Europe 5614.
