These cartridges have what HP now calls “Smart Chips” Similar to other HP chips, these chips monitor toner usage, Internet supplies ordering, and a new feature, remote troubleshooting. Unlike the 4100, the chips need to be replaced every cycle. There are separate chips for each color. These cartridges are “all in one” where the toner, drum, and waste are all contained in one cartridge. These machines share the same black cartridge as the CLJ 3500. The colors are not interchangeable. Toner and chips are in development.

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 CLBP- 460PS. The chip also contains information on the characteristics of the drum that is used during the calibration sequence.
