HOW TO RESET THE PC COUNTER IN YOUR LEXMARK E260 PRINTER

Whenever you replace the PC kit (a.k.a. drum unit) in your Lexmark E260 printer, you have to manually reset the life counter so the printer knows you put in a new one. Otherwise, it will continue to blink its indicator lights saying, “Ahh, this imaging unit is old and stale. Give me a new one!”

So how do you reset your Lexmark E260 drum counter? It’s super easy. Just follow these steps:

Reset PC Counter

  1. With the power on, open the front door.
  2. Press and hold the cancel button (X). After a few seconds, the printer will flash its indicator lights telling you it’s resetting the life counter. At this point, you can release the cancel button.
  3. Close the front door.
  4. The printer should restart automatically. If it doesn’t, turn it off then turn it back on.
  5. Enjoy your new imaging unit!
