Unlike other Lexmark chips, the board for these cartridges has two contact pads where the machine makes direct contact. New replacement chips ARE available NOW. On the Non-Prebate cartridges the chip is also present, but the killer part is not active. These cartridges can be re- manufactured as much as you want, the chip will not interfere.

Included here only because of the physical similarity to the other Optra S, Se. & T. These cartridges do not have any chips, or anything else that has to be reset. They even eliminated the Yield Wheel! At this time there are only “standard “ cartridges, Prebate cartridges have not been released, and there does not seem to be any plans for Lexmark to do so.

The “Return” cartridges have an ARD installed on the top left side of the cartridge. The packaging for the chip looks more like a battery than a chip, but it is definitely a chip. This package allows a special reader inside the machine to read the chip with out any wires connecting it. New replacement chips are now available that work in both the Optra T and Optra SE series. Do not confuse the Optra T series with the T series; they are not the same. See below for more information. Other vendors such as Toshiba are also using this engine. Make sure your replacement chip is universal or brand specific if using in these machines. Contact your vendor for the correct chips. On the Non-Prebate cartridges the chip is also present, but the killer part is not active. These cartridges can be re-manufactured as much as you want, the chip will not interfere.

In both cases, the chips use the new “Overdrive code”. Make sure your supplier is up to date with the proper code.
