These cartridges have what HP now calls “Smart Chips. Similar to the HP-4100, these chips monitor toner usage, Internet supplies ordering, and a new feature, remote troubleshooting. These cartridges are “all in one” type cartridges where each color is self contained (Toner, drum etc). These machines also use a Transfer unit Part Number C9734A rated for 120,000 pages. New toner and chips are available.

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-4500.

New reset chips are now available to reset these cartridges. Drums and chips should be sold as a set as the chip contains info. 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 chip also contains information on the characteristics of the drum that is used during the calibration sequence.
