setup printer without setup cartridge

[Short_Circuit89]

Hi,

I have an issue with my Hp printer 8610, after purchasing the printer I set it up and started printing, when the cartridges became empty, I disposed them and I'm planning to buy new ones, however the printer has been resetted through setting (semi-Full reset) by my brother, Now every time I try to setup the printer again the printer is asking for the ink cartridges that came with it which I obviously don’t have.

Is there any way I can setup my printer without ink cartridges as I want to use the Scanner.

will new ink cartridges help me in setting up the printer or I need special setup cartridges?

Hello @Short_Circuit89,

This is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that after running the Semi-Reset on the printer, now you are getting the message to "put in the original cartridges". I would like to help you.

I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.

Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.

Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.

This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.

You can try the steps in this document to see if they may help with this situation:  A 'Cartridge Missing' or 'Incompatible Ink Cartridges' Error Message Displays.

If the issue continues, please contact  HP Customer Support to inquire about setup cartridges. Fill in the model number and the form to receive a case number for quicker assistance.

Please click the "Thumbs Up" to thank me for my efforts! If this helps you to resolve the issue you are experiencing, please click the "Accept as Solution". 

Keep me posted. Good Luck!

Hello,

Please follow this steps

Touch Support Menu.
Touch the right arrow three (3) times until the System Configuration menu displays, and then press OK.
Press OK in the TradeatOOBE mode screen.
Press OK until the screen reads Trade.
Press the red X four (4) times until the Home screen displays.
NOTE: The ink gauge will not show 100% full after initialization for the non-SETUP cartridge.
Replace the customer's defective cartridge with a trade (not SETUP) cartridge.

Press OK in the TradeatOOBE mode screen. (These steps work fine)

Press OK until the screen reads Trade. (this step never happens it appers to only toggle between disable and enable trade supplies)
