Canon LBP-CX HP Cartridge Part # (92285A)
OEM Stated Yield: 2,500 These cartridges have a color wheel that indicates the approximate amount of toner left in the cartridge. This wheel does not actually stop the machine, it only gives the user a visual indication. The wheel assembly consists of a small gear train that drives a geared color wheel. The gear assembly is calibrated for 5% pages, so it is very possible that you have an empty cartridge with a green wheel showing, or a half full cartridge with a red wheel showing. It all depends on how much toner is used per page. To reset the counter, remove the clear cover from the counter by releasing the 4 tabs. Carefully remove the small gear next to the color wheel and turn the wheel so that the notched area is up. Insert the small gear so that the teeth of both the small gear and the wheel just start to engage. Carefully snap the cover back on. If you slip and the small gears jump out of place, just alternate them from the middle to one side. The opposite side is empty. It doesn't matter which side you choose.

OEM Stated Yield: 50,000 These machine use the same cartridge as the NP6016, but the yield is 50,000 not 40,000. Since the same chip is used, the decision must be made by the machine not the cartridge. The drum unit for these cartridges is rated for 50,000 pages. The machine will show "Replace Drum" at 50,000 pages or when the waste toner section is full. These cartridges have a reset chip built into the connector.

OEM Stated Yield: 3,000 These cartridges have a color wheel that indicates the approximate amount of toner left in the cartridge. This wheel does not actually stop the machine, it only gives the user a visual indication. The wheel assembly. consists of a small gear train that drives a geared color wheel.

It all depends on how much toner is used per page. To reset the counter, grasp the color wheel in your right hand, the gear assembly in your left. While bending the wheel down, turn the wheel away from you until it stops. You will hear a slight grinding. That is fine as long as the wheel turns fairly easily. If the wheel is hard to turn, you are not bending the wheel down far enough and may damage the gears. This can also be done by removing the cover, removing the gear next to the wheel, and resetting the wheel gear.

Canon PC-850 Canon Cartridge Part # F100 (F41-9921)
OEM Stated Yield: 10,000 If the "Replace Cartridge" light is still lit in the display after replacing the cartridge, the customer can follow the steps below to reset the copier. This procedure should be done every time the cartridge is replaced: Hold down the "A" (Automatic Exposure) key for approximately four (4) seconds or longer. After approximately four (4) seconds have elapsed, "UC" appears in the Copy quantity/Copy ratio display. Press the "Start" key. "UC" will flash for about 20 seconds in the Copy quantity/Copy ratio display. The copier will automatically perform a toner distribution operation, and then you will return to the normal copying mode. NOTE: - Be sure to press the "A" key after replacing each cartridge. If you do not, your first few copies will not be clear copy images or the Replace Cartridge indicator may light. If either of these two problems occurs, press the main unit power switch to OFF and then to ON again. Afterwards, perform the above steps. If copies are too dark or too light after you have replaced the cartridge, open the front door and adjust the copy exposure using the exposure re-calibration slide control switch.

OPC Cartridge HP OPC Part # C4195A
OEM Stated Yield: 25,000 These cartridges have an ARD installed on the left side of the cartridge. The chip is actually just an IC plugged into a socket on the back of the electrical connector, which can easily be changed. It would seem that HP or Canon has plans to recycle these cartridges. Even though they look the same, the programming on these chips is different from the HP-8500. New reset chips are now available to reset these cartridges. Drums and chips should be sold as a set as the chip contains information about the drum sensitivity. These cartridges also have windows that work with an optical sensor inside the printer that determines if the waste chamber is full or not. It is more than likely that if the waste chamber fills up, the machine will shut down. We are not sure if the cartridge waste chamber is cleaned out, it will continue to run until the chip finishes its page count. The Canon version of this printer is the CLBP460PS. The chip also contains information on the characteristics of the drum that is used during the calibration sequence.

HP Color LaserJet 4600 HP Black # C9720A, Cyan C9721A, Magenta C9723A, Yellow C9722A
OEM Stated Yield: 9000 These cartridges have what HP now calls "Smart Chips" (We call them ARDs-Anti Recycling Devices). Similar to the HP-41O0, these chips monitor toner usage, Internet supplies ordering, and a new feature, remote troubleshooting. These cartridges are "all in one" type cartridges where each color is self contained (Toner, drum etc.). An interesting change is that if the chips are removed from the cartridge mid cycle, the machine will not accept the cartridge and will not print. Further testing is needed to see if once a cartridge actually runs out, if it can be refilled with the old chip. Toner and chips are in development.

HP LaserJet 1300 HP Part # Q2613A/X
OEM Stated Yield: 2,500/4,000 The HP-1300 uses the second generation black toner cartridge ARD's. These chips (ARD's) only monitor toner usage not page counts. Each chip also has it's own serial number which in effect gives the cartridge a serial number. After the OEM toner has been used up, the "toner low reached" code will be set to YES on the cartridge chip. Even after the cartridge is refilled, the printer display will still show "Toner Low" for the supplies status section of the menu. Since these machines do not have a display, only the supplies status page will show "Non HP Toner cartridge". If the chip is removed, the toner low sensors will be disabled, and will not work again until a new HP cartridge is installed. These sensors also track toner usage per page, and predict the expected yield of the cartridge so this may be an issue with your customer. These chips are physically different from the first generation 4100 chip. The 4100 is encased in a black plastic case, and uses RF (radio frequency) technology to communicate with the printer. The 1300 chip looks identical to the 2300/4200/4300 chips. They are not encased at all. The chip board is bright green in color. It also has two contact pads where the chip touches contacts in the machine. This is how the chip communicates with the printer, a much simpler and cheaper method. HP apparently no longer cares about public opinion on these chips as they are bright green in color, and placed on the top of the cartridge, where they are impossible to miss. Although all the second generation chips all look the same, the coding is different. As with the 4100 chips, the machine will have a complete history of all the HP and non-HP cartridges used! This may play a part when warrant repairs are needed. Replacement chips are now being developed.

While this statement certainly addresses the re-use of the new cartridges, it is doubtful that they will look kindly on resetting these chips so that the printer thinks it is a genuine HP cartridge. It should be noted that if the chip is removed, the printer's performance changes. Weare still testing but it seems that the printer runs much darker, reducing the yield of the cartridge.

(Lexmark does not currently produce a low yield cartridge.)The "Prebate" cartridges have an ARD installed on the top left side of the cartridge. The packaging for the chip looks more like a battery than a chip, but it is definitely a chip. This package allows a special reader inside the machine to read the chip with out any wires connecting it. New replacement chips are now available that work in both the Optra T and Optra SE series. Do not confuse the Optra T series with the T series; they are not the same. See below for more information. Other vendors such as Toshiba are also using this engine. The replacement chips for the Lexmark cartridges will not work in these printers. Contact your vendor for the correct chips. On the Non-Prebate cartridges however, the chip is also present, but the killer part is not active. These cartridges can be re-manufactured as much as you want, the chip will not interfere.

OKIDATA DRUM CARTRIDGES
Okidata over the years has released a lot of printers/fax machines all with different engines. Unfortunately almost all of them require a different reset procedure. In fact even some of the machines that use the same engine have different reset procedures! The following procedures are grouped by the Engine, (underlined), and then by the machine model number/so The machine model numbers are also in a slightly smaller point size. The first engine is the Okidata OL-400/800, but the first actual reset procedure is for the OL800 series only, followed by other machines that use the same engine but have different reset procedures. Just to make things a little crazier, there are also machines that use different engines, but use the same reset procedure. These are grouped as above, but with a note that says what other machines also use that procedure. Hopefully this will help clear up some of the confusion on what procedures to use.

The reset gear in the Ricoh Aficio 200 OPC cartridge has a different purpose than most reset mechanisms. Most resets set the cartridge page count back to zero, In the Aficio 200, it lets the machine know that a new cartridge has been installed. The machine then takes readings from its sensors to measure the charge of the developer and drum. From those readings it sets up the density for that drum unit. If the gear is not reset, the machine will continue to think the old cartridge is installed, and use the old settings. This usually causes either light prints, or backgrounding. It is also important to note that the replacement aftermarket developer was designed to work with the replacement drum as a matched system. In our tests, the OEM drum will not last another cycle.

See our cartridge recycling instructions for detailed information. These cartridges also do not have any type of reset. There is a sensor inside the cartridge that measures the mixture of toner to developer. As long as there is enough toner for a good mixture level, the toner lamp will stay off.

Sharp AR-150 Toner Sharp Cartridge Part # AR-150TD
OEM Stated Yield: 6,000 These cartridges use the same supplies to recycle as the AL-l 000 (XD-l 00) cartridges. The difference is that the oblong tab on the back side if the cartridge i placed differently, and the cartridge has a "killer chip" that shuts the machine down after lO.OOO pages. These cartridges are designed to be recycled by Sharp authorized dealers. As such, replacement chips are available from authorized Sharp dealers, and now generic chips are also available. Since the chip shuts down the cartridge at 10,000 pages, you can recycle the cartridge 2-3 times with the same chip with out any problems. However, even if you just recycled the cartridge, once the page count reaches 10,000, you will need to replace the chip. To make matters even more confusing, it seems that non-network (Copier Only) machines do not need the chip installed at all! We think (but have not yet been able to confirm), that replacing the chip every cycle will prevent the machine from shutting down. That is an increase in cost, but that way you don't have to track the usage on your customer's machine, or for that matter, the type of machine they have. The chip is installed in the back of the connector on the cartridge.
