I followed your provided key sequence and was able to reset the "Check Printer" alarm in my MultiPass F30 printer. It is very close. The only thing is that there is no [OK] key on the F30 printer. I had to press [ON/OFF] key instead. After the waste tank full counter was reset, my printer works normally again.

I also have a MultiPass MP700 printer. I am sure that the key sequence will come in handy someday. Similarly, there is no [OK] key on the MultiPass MP700 printer.

My S520 gives also the well known waste tank full indication (7 times orange), so i,ve tried

First must i do this whit the lid open or closed ?
I,ve done the following:
1. turn off the printer (with the powerswitch)
2. press the resume button, and press the Powerswitch.
3. release the resume button and then press it twice short after each other.
4.Then release the Power and the Resume switch,
now the orange light keeps flashing.
5. I then pressed the Resume button 4 times.
6. Then I,ve pressed the power switch 1 time.
7. at last i,ve shut off the power using the powerswitch.
Result nothing happened....
I have also tried to shut off the power by disconnecting the powercable.
Can anyone here give me some advice please ?
