Hi,

I can’t find the access to reset the belt counters and fusion unit in the menu of my HP Color Laser MFP 178nw

and delete the messages "prepare a new transfer belt" and "prepare a fuser unit soon" that block my printer.

Can you please help me?

Did you replace the components already and the counters did not reset or are you trying to extend the life of existing supplies? I ask because some products rely on a fusible link in the new supply to reset the counter and a manual reset is not an option. There is no reset instructions in either the technicians troubleshooting guide or the repair manual.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I would like to extend the life of existing supplies because of the small quantities of copy they did.

You can find instructions on how to enter the Tech menu on youtube or google, when you enter the Tech menu try:

 

TECH menu -> Data setup -> Clear counts -> 1934 - > Transfer belt

Interesting they make no mention of that in service documentation. Or perhaps there is some secret keyword to search for that would give me that info.

@Repairatrooper it's not in HP documentation, the steps are the same as for Samsung printers ( before Samsung became HP )

Hi In this video I'll perform a reset of the Imaging Transfer Belt on a Samsung CLP-360, and I'll show you all the possible resets that you can do with the software shown. Be aware that the drum can be resetted through the software only if it didn't reach 0%, in that case you need to install a ...
