How to reset Canon CLI8 / PGI5 ink cartridges
The Canon CLI8 and PGI5 cartridges use a chip, which monitors the ink level in your
cartridge. After the cartridge is empty, the chip will read empty, so when you refill the
cartridge you will need to “Reset” the chip so it registers as full again.
Push the cartridge down so that the chip touches the contact pins of the resetter. You will
see a red light shine through the resetter. Hold the cartridge in place, the light should stay
red for a couple of seconds for a successful reset.
Please note that this resetter is designed to reset OEM (original brand) chips. It is not possible to test it or develop it to work on all types of 3rd party compatible chips, while we know that it does work on 3rd party compatible chips that we have tested, we cannot guarantee that it will work on all compatible chips, but it is guaranteed to work on the original brand chips.
