“Unrecognized Cartridge” Error Message

For an ‘Unrecognized Cartridge error’ message first ensure the 2 electri- cal integrated chip contacts on the rear of the cartridge have been penetrated. Replace the cartridge to verify problem.

Unrecognized Cartridge Failure Analysis Steps:

1.Be sure the cartridge is the correct cartridge for your printer model. Your printer will not work with cartridges from other models. Remember, the printer is reading the value programmed into the chip on the cartridge, it is not actually detecting the cartridge type. Replace the cartridge to verify a failure.

2.Check MSB version. Select Utility Menu - Service Menu - About. MB: 87-27-0. Where 87 or 88 indicates the 800 series printer model; 27 indicates the printer is an ENCAD model; 0 indicates printing is authorized. Any other number sequence indicates the Main PWA is programmed incorrectly. Replace Main PWA.
