Zero cartridge - what is it for? The creators of printing technology receive their main profit from the sale of consumables. Refueling cartridges very significantly affected the decrease in producer income.
To the situation turned in their direction, manufacturers have developed a chip - a chip that is installed on a cartridge. In other words, it is a flash memory with recorded cartridge resources. It captures the information coming from the printer, which contains the number of pages already printed.
When the cartridge is installed on the printer, the chip is registered and starts counting. As soon as 90% of the set number is printed, the printer sends a signal that the toner is about to run out.
In fact, the ink still remains in the cartridge. Only a printer with persistence will require replacement. There are several ways to solve this problem.
