  2. Inspection: Take out the toner cartridge and examine the gold contact chip on the side.
  3. Cleaning: Use a lint-free cloth to gently wipe the chip contacts and the internal pins inside the printer.
  4. Installation: Reinsert the toner, ensuring it locks into place firmly.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid touching the chip contacts directly. Ensure the internal compartment is free of dust by using compressed air during your regular maintenance schedule.
