Resetter Canon Mp250

This is a reset tool I found during mid 2009 and amazingly, it is still there and ready to download for personal use. This is an EEPROM Clear Tool for Canon MP198, MP 250, MP258, MP270, MP276, MP496, MP558, MP568 and MP648 All In One Printer and also acts as a resetter tool which will reset the basic printer features from your personal computer.
I've also had the chance to run this service tool on Canon MP250 and Canon MP270 printers and worked superbly. As you all know, Canon 270 model is the later version of Canon 250 AIO printer which was in the market since 2009. The only difference is the change of outer casing and slightly higher DPI for printing output.

In the Canon Pixma, the ink required to print the documents is stored in cartridges called the Canon Pixma Ink Cartridge. For an uninterrupted printing experience on a regular basis, you should check out these ink cartridges. There are sensors that notify you when the ink level is low in the cartridges. You should instantly change the cartridges to low levels, or they will affect the printing of your documents. Many Canon Pixma users do not know how to reset canon Pixma ink cartridges, especially the ones not belonging to the technical background. In this article, you are going to learn about resetting Canon ink cartridges.

Universal Method To Reset Canon Pixma Ink Cartridges

A special chip is embedded in the Canon Pixma cartridges. The cartridges have no ink or low ink levels; these special chips alert you. Every device has its pros and cons. Printers have many pros, but they also have some cons. Even when their ink cartridges are empty, they continue with the printing process. This is one of the major cons of printers. In such cases, the chip resetter that comes along with the ink refill is very helpful as you need to reset the Canon ink cartridges. These chip resetters come as a single product and are designed for a particular model of the cartridge.

The following is the universal method for resetting Canon Pixma Ink Cartridges:

Remove the cartridge: The first thing you need to do is remove the printer’s ink cartridge. Then, into the main channel of the resetter, the cartridge is inserted.
The chip must make contact: There is a contact plate in the resetter. You have to make sure that the chip is in contact with that plate.
Press on the cartridges: Now, for a few seconds, gently press the cartridge. This press ensures that the chip makes contact with the cartridge. To verify this, a few times, the LED light on the chip resetter will blink. Until this LED light starts glowing constantly, keep the cartridge in the same place.
Remove the cartridge: Now, after finishing the above steps, remove the cartridge from the chip resetter. Now place the cartridge back into the printer. Use the same steps to reset any other canon ink cartridge.
