Download from this site http://sahat-tambunan.com/files/2009/Samsung-ML-1640-reset-raw.zip Raw Package for ML-1640 You will find 5 files in this package:

  • ML-1640_V1.01.00.83.exe is the official firmware upgrader
  • downl1640.bat is the firmware downloader (to printer)
  • fix1640.bat is the firmware patcher
  • fixml40.exe is the tools run by the patcher
  • usbprns2.exe is the tools run by the downloader
Unzip and start usbprns2.exe than downl1640.bat, at the end press any button and for 16 seconds you have printer reset.
And that is it, you are free to do what ever you want, but be careful if you reset with empty toner it will also show that toner is full.
Also the are no chip in toner, it is only mechanical part.red light comes after refill - cc156fa.jpg
Save the money for toner refill. See ya

Download the firmware from herehttp://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=in&CttFileID=2238869&CDCttType=FM&ModelType=N&ModelName=ML-1640&VPath=FM/200904/20090416100856890/ML-1640_V1.01.00.83.exe
run the software and this will reset the page count to 0. Samsung printers generally do not support a refilled cartridge and thus the red light.But resetting the page count to 0 makes the printer detect the cartridge as an intoductory one.

Error light is alway on on lexmark e120

Besides refilling the cartridge with toner there is a chip in it that you should change so the printer will know that a new cartridge is installed.
