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.

These cartridges have a “Single Use Killer Chip”. Unlike the other chips in this series, this chip shuts down the cartridge after the first cycle so it will be necessary to replace it each time. Replacement chips for these cartridges are now available. These cartridges also differ in that the “Oblong Tab” on the back of the cartridge has it’s own unique location. The chip is installed in the back of the connector on the cartridge.

Xerox WorkCentre Pro 16 Series Toner

Xerox Part # 6R972

OEM Stated Yield: 6,000

Starter cartridges do not have a chip installed.

The WorkCentre Pro 16 cartridges also use a chip, but in this case the chip does not seem to shut the machine down right away. This seems to work the same as the Sharp AR-150; it can be recycled 2-3 times before the chip shuts the cartridge down.

Replacement chips for these cartridges are now available. These cartridges differ from the others in that the “Oblong Tab” on the back of the cartridge has it’s own unique location. In addition to the tab, the Waste Chamber is also different. It has a different shape, and is held on by one screw at the top, and a plastic tab on the bottom. The chip is installed in the back of the connector on the cartridge.

Both of the above cartridges are different, and not interchangeable but the reset procedures are the same. (These procedures are the same for the XC- 800/Z-835 copier OPC cartridges). These cartridges are the most popular. There are also other cartridges that use the same supplies, but are physically different. There are tabs on the top of the cartridge that block installation into another brand copier. These tabs are different for each cartridge type.

If the cartridge is not a "Starter cartridge", there are two white gears inside the green end cap. On the large white gear, remove the clip ring and turn the gear back to the start position. (This is so the
