Why Fix Firmware and Reset Chip?

Warning: A hard reset will erase all stored data, including pending print jobs. Proceed with caution.

  1. Purchase: Buy a replacement chip compatible with MLT-D101S (for ML-2165/2168). These are widely available on eBay or Amazon for a low cost.
  2. Locate: Open the printer lid and look at the side of the toner cartridge.
  3. Replace: There is a small slot on the side of the cartridge. Pry out the old chip (if present) and snap the new one in.
  4. Reset: Reinstall the cartridge. The printer will recognize the new chip and reset the counter to 100%.

    If you recently replaced the toner or refilled it, the chip may be locked or incompatible with the installed firmware.
