How to Reset the Photoconductor Page
Count on a Lexmark E460 Printer
Lexmark E460
Solution
Overview
You must reset the photoconductor page count at any time you replace the photoconductor unit.
Otherwise, the printer will not register the photoconductor replacement, and it will think that the
old photoconductor unit is still installed. The printer will therefore continue to display an 84 - PC
Kit life or a Photoconductor (PC) Life Warning message. In addition, once the old,
unreset photoconductor page count reaches a certain point, the printer will stop printing and
display an 84 - Replace PC Kit or a Photoconductor Exhausted message.
NOTE: For more information on these error messages and their meaning, see the section
labeled Error messages located near the end of this article.
To reset the photoconductor page count
IMPORTANT! The photoconductor page count should be reset only when a completely
new photoconductor kit is installed. Resetting the page count without replacing the
photoconductor kit will cause the photoconductor to operate beyond its intended life
and create print quality issues or possibly damage the printer.
Step
Action
1
After installing the new photoconductor unit, open the front cover. Leave the printer powered
on.
2
With the front cover open, press and hold the stop/cancel ( ) button.

Watch the LCD screen. When you see the message "Resetting PC Counter", let go of
the button.

Close the front cover.
NOTE: If you wish to confirm that the photoconductor page count has reset, print a menu
settings page.
1. With the printer at the ready state, press the Menu ( ) button to enter the printer
menus.
2. Press the button until the checkmark on the screen is in front of Reports.
3. Press the Select ( ) button once to enter the Reports menu.
4. Press until the checkmark is in front of Menu Settings Page.
5. Press once. The printer should display Printing Menu Settings Page and the
menu settings page(s) should print out.
On the menu settings page(s), look for an entry called PC Kit. If the counter has been reset
correctly, the PC Kit should read Ok.

recommended action is to replace the photoconductor unit or have an extra one in stock. You can
press the button to clear this message and continue printing.
A Photoconductor Exhausted or an 84 - Replace PC Kit message indicates that the
