I researched and found a couple places that claimed if you refill the |
| 13 |
cartridges before they were about empty, then it would keep working. |
| 14 |
However, other people said the chip prints a specific number of pages |
| 15 |
and then shows empty whether it is or not. I know when my cartridges |
| 16 |
claimed being empty, I could hear the toner shaking around in there. |
| 17 |
I'm just not sure how much was in there. I'm thinking it is the later |
| 18 |
because I've read that the chip must be replaced because it counts pages |
| 19 |
not measure toner. It has no reset button. |

I'm thinking about testing the theory tho. Just buy a bottle of toner, |
| 22 |
whatever is getting below half full, and then filling it back up. Print |
| 23 |
and see what happens. If the level goes up, it works and can be |
| 24 |
refilled. If it doesn't and stops at the preset number of pages, then |
| 25 |
the chip must be replaced when filling. |

If you have info about someone actually doing this, I'd be interested in |
| 28 |
reading their postings about it. The toner isn't half bad price wise. |
