WIC Reset Program and Chipless Firmware

Recommended Posts

Hi, I did buy a C5710 recently. I already have five of the same printer and no problem converting it to chipless.

But with this one I am having problems.

I follow the instructions of https://www.2manuals.com/product_info.php?cPath=107&products_id=1940 about uploading firmware

I verify because of "If firmware version is CU26I9 - firmware has been uploaded successfully" part with the WIC Utility and everything is good, version number is CU26I9.

Now the Activation Key I already did buy and downloaded the Licence.exe app, I press Activate Online, paste the emailed code and the App shows Error writing...

I have reinstalled the firmware about three times, verified the instructions everytime. Verified the FW version.

Is there another thing to do?, the actual chip of the cartridges are getting low and I will need to buy ink, it is expensive.

I have chipless cartridges ready to be installed.

PLEASE DO THIS ONE MORE TIME:


Upload Firmware to printer in the NORMAL MODE (do NOT use service mode yet just start the printer with the power button). Run EPFWUPD.EXE file and follow all steps until Firmware will upload in printer. 

When Firmware Update process is complete - printer will restart - usually it will take only a few minutes but can continue for 10-20 minutes in some rare cases. 
If process hangs - replug power cable and start printer manually.

Now check current firmware version ( how to check ).
If firmware version is CS26I9 - firmware has been uploaded successfully.
Run License.exe utility and use your Activation Key
