  2. Wipe the chip contacts gently using a soft, dry cloth.
  3. Reinsert the cartridge firmly until it clicks into position.
  4. Restart the printer to allow a re-scan of the hardware.

Prevention and Maintenance

Keep the internal housing free of toner dust. Handle new cartridges by the edges to prevent skin oil from affecting the contacts. High-quality cartridges minimize chip-related errors.
