How to reset canon printers error

EEPROM stands for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory, It's a long name for a small chip that holds bits of data code that can be rewritten and erased by an electrical charge, one byte at a time. EEPROM data cannot be selectively rewritten; the entire chip must be erased and rewritten to update its contents.
