When you see the "End of Service Life " message pops up warning the components inside the printer is at or near the end of it's service life, you may think the printer is broken. When the service counter in the printer reaches a maximum preset value, the printer will no longer print. Don't panic!
With the SSC utility, the service counter can easily be reset and the printer can be brought back to the original factory service counter value. SSC does not support the Mac, you will need a PC to run the SSC. ( You can also run Windows on a Mac, but we will not get into the subject. )
