In this article we want to show you how to set up and work with the program PonyProg.

In order to upgrade the chip firmware on the Samsung SCX 4200, 42200 and Xerox WorkCenter 3119 you need a programmer (which you can ordered from us) and properly tuned program (Download PonyProg)

Insert the COM-port of the programmer into your computer. 

Download the program,install it and start it (Figure 1).

First, you need to select the type of the chip. In order to do it go to the "Devices -I2C Bus 8bit eeprom" and choose the 2404 (24ХХ would be just as good) (Figure 2) .

Now we will configure the programmer, go to the the "Settings - Hardware Setup". Choose "Port settings - Serial, SI Prog API". Select the COM-port to which the programmer is connected. Don't put a tick on "Selecting the polarity signals control". Click on "Check", pops up the box "Check OK" (Figure 3,4).

Let's take a closer analyze of DAMP (Figure 9).

1 - The serial number of the cartridge, you need to change it. 

2 - The drum counter, you need to reset it.

3 - The toner counter, you need to reset it.

You can change the data, but it is easier to download the correct firmware on our website in the section "Firmware for Samsung, Xerox cartridges".

Once you have a modified or a new firmware you have to click on the "Record" button next to the "Read the chip".

After the record , disconnect the chip form the alligator clip. The chip is ready.
