3. Hardware Connection: Original USB Cable and Excellent Port
This is the most critical factor that often fails. Use an original, high-quality USB data cable. Many cheap USB cables can only charge, but cannot transfer data.
Plug the USB cable directly into the port on the back of the CPU (motherboard) or the main port on the laptop. Avoid using an external USB hub or port on the front of the CPU case, as it often lacks power and stabilization.
WiFi/Bluetooth connections are not supported for this process. The connection must be physical via USB.
4. Download Software
5. Disable Antivirus Temporarily
This Resetter Adjustment Program software is often categorized as “False Positive” by antivirus programs such as Windows Defender, Avast, or McAfee. This means that the software is not dangerous but is considered suspicious because of the way it works that accesses the printer’s firmware.
Sec. 6. Power Stability: Don’t Let the Power Shut Down in the Middle of the Process!
The reset process is to write data to the printer’s chip. If the power goes out or the cable is unplugged during the process, it can cause irreversible firmware damage (bricking).
Make sure the electrical voltage is stable. For laptops, make sure they are plugged into a charger and the battery is properly charged. Don’t rely on batteries alone.
