Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If the error appears immediately after changing the cartridge, the chip is dirty or the cartridge is not fully seated in its guides. It is the most common error due to improper consumable handling.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Remove cartridge: Take the toner cartridge out of the drum unit.
  2. Clean chip: Gently wipe the metal chip on the cartridge with a clean cloth.
  3. Clean pins: Check the printer's pins for any spilled toner residue.
  4. Reinsert: Place the cartridge firmly until you hear the 'click' engagement.

Prevention and Maintenance

When handling cartridges, avoid touching the chip with your fingers, as natural oils can prevent reading. Do not force the installation if you feel resistance.

When to Call a Technician

If after testing with another original cartridge the error persists, the chip reader in the drum unit may be damaged.
