How to bypass setup cartridges for 8600

[Dreier-112]

Hi folks,

the printing of my printer was really bad, so I decided to clean the printhead, reset the printer and start over with new cartridges as the last cartridges were already about 1.5 years old. 

Anyway, after cleaning the printhead, I inserted the new cartridges and reset the printer. Unfortunately, the printer now greets me with a message that I shoul insert the cartridges that came with the printer. Since the printer is already several years old, I, obviously, do not have the setup cartridges anymore. 

When turning on the printer, it says directly „install setup cartridges“ and then shows me an animation on how to it. There’s nothing else that I can do. The buttons. On the control panel do not seem to cause anything. The only button I can tap on is labelled „replay animation“

I‘ve tried pressing the return button on the lower left corner repeatedly to get into the support menu and reset the printer again, but that does not work. 

What can I do to get the printer working again without setup cardridges?

Thanks a lot in advance for your support!
