This tip is aimed specifically to assist Lexmark E340/342 or any display type printer from the Lexmark Series.
After installing a new photoconductor kit the directions ask you to reset it and the following are the steps to follow:
a) Turn the printer off
b) While still off, press and hold the SELECT and RETURN buttons.
c) Keep both buttons pressed, and turn the printer on. Continue to hold both until either “Performing self test” or “Config menu” appears on the display.
d) Release the two buttons
e) RESET PC CNT should now show on the display. If it does not, press the left or right menu buttons until it does.
f) Press the SELECT button once. “Resetting PC Cnt Value” should show on the display.
g) When the display shows CONFIG MENU again, turn the printer off.
h) Turn the printer back on. (Do not hold any buttons down this time). The printer is reset.
In order to confirm the counter was reset print a “menu settings page”.
