Purpose: Reset internal counters (toner/drum) or recover from certain error states. This uses a service menu; misuse can alter calibration or counters.
The Samsung ML-2160 series uses a toner chip to monitor levels. A firmware reset usually modifies the printer logic so it no longer checks this chip, or resets the counter so the printer thinks the cartridge is brand new. Once you perform a firmware reset to bypass the chip, you typically cannot revert to the original firmware easily. firmware reset samsung ml 2160 2165 2160w 2165w
