engine is the Okidata OL-400/800, but the first
actual reset procedure is for the OL-800 series only,
followed by other machines that use the same engine
but have different reset procedures. Just to make
things a little crazier, there are also machines that
use different engines, but use the same reset
procedure. These are grouped as above, but with a
note that says what other machines also use that
procedure.
Hopefully this will help clear up some of the
confusion on what procedures to use.

Unlike most of the other Okidata machines, these
cartridges use a chip that has to be replaced. It uses
an odd round style ship, and there are many
manufacturers using them. Most have different
chips. Make sure you have the correct chip for the
machine it is intended for.

NOTE:
I have not seen these cartridges or machines.
When a new cartridge (OEM) is installed, it should
clear the message. (You have to install it with the
power off). If the power is left on. It will not reset
itself, then the following complicated procedure
must be followed. At this point I do not know if the
cartridge has a reset gear or a chip.
Enter the PCU Diagnostic mode by turning the
printer off and holding down the MENU and OK
buttons on power up. (Release the buttons once you
are in the PCU DIAG MODE). Press the MENU
button 14x until the display shows “COUNTER
DISPLAY”. Press the MENU button and the
BACK?C button at the same time. This will put the
printer into the “Feed Counter Clear Mode”. Release
the buttons. Press the up arrow 5x until the display
shows “Toner Counter Clear”. Pres the OK button,
the display will show “Toner No”. Press the Up
Arrow 1x so the display shows “Toner Yes”, Press
the OK button. The Green data light will flash to
indicate the process is complete. Turn the printer off
and on to clear the PCU DIAG mode.
