1. Check the boxes next to both counters.

4. Buy a Refurbished Printer – Often cheaper than the time spent troubleshooting.

Risks (real):

• Ink flood: Resetting without cleaning the pad → ink soaks through → damages electronics or stains furniture.
• Firmware corruption: Incorrect sequence (e.g., pulling USB mid-reset) can brick the printer.
• Wrong model selection: Selecting "SX130" on an SX125 can write incompatible counter data.
• Permanent lockout: Some fake tools add a hidden counter that requires factory re-flash.
