Some friends of mine asked me that they had problem regarding their printer. When they turn their printer on they could not see that their printer can work properly. They said my printer won't yield any sound. It blinked many times, well this is common problem regarding printer usage. When you see dialogue box that appear on your screen it stated that your printer waste ink pad is full or when you see green light lit on alternately with the amber light. So how to resolve this problem? Today I will try to guide to resolve this problem using the simplest way. Before you can resolve this problem there are something you need to prepare:

Now select your active printer and then choose menu Reset Waste Ink Counters on upper right side menu then this utility will ask a serial numbers which you need to put inside dialogue box to continue using this software. When you don't have serial number you can put "trial" on the dialogue box to continue the process, but remember when you use trial your printer will reset to 90% state which is mean it will overload again around couple of printing process.
