Frequently asked questions

You can continue printing, but be aware that if components are truly worn out, print quality may become inconsistent or faded.

The alert usually clears after installing new genuine supplies that reset the chip, or via the manual reset option in the menu.

Sometimes debris on the chip prevents the printer from reading the supply level correctly; cleaning the contact points usually fixes this.
