Brother 6180d printer reset: How to clear the counter
If you own a Brother 6180d printer, you may have noticed that the printer keeps track of the number of pages it has printed. The printer uses this information to determine when maintenance is needed. However, the counter can sometimes become unreliable, and it may suggest maintenance is required before it is necessary. In such a situation, you may want to reset the counter. This article will guide you through the process of resetting the counter on a Brother 6180d printer.
Step 1: Turn off the printer
Before resetting the counter, turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source. This is important to ensure your safety and avoid any damage to the printer. Wait for the printer to cool down before proceeding to the next step.
Step 2: Press and hold the “Go” button
Next, locate the “Go” button on the front of the printer. Press and hold this button down for about four seconds. The printer's status LED should light up.
Step 3: Release the “Go” button
After holding the “Go” button for four seconds, release it. The printer's status LED will continue to light up. Wait until the “Ready” LED turns off.
Step 4: Press the “Go” button six times
After the “Ready” LED has turned off, press the “Go” button six times in quick succession. The printer's status LED will light up again.
Step 5: Wait for the printer to reset
After pressing the “Go” button six times, wait for the printer to reset. This process should only take a few seconds. Once the printer has reset, the status LED will turn off and the “Ready” LED will light up. Your Brother 6180d printer is now reset.
