I researched and found a couple places that claimed if you refill the cartridges before they were about empty, then it would keep working. However, other people said the chip prints a specific number of pages and then shows empty whether it is or not. I know when my cartridges claimed being empty, I could hear the toner shaking around in there. I'm just not sure how much was in there. I'm thinking it is the later because I've read that the chip must be replaced because it counts pages not measure toner. It has no reset button. I'm thinking about testing the theory tho. Just buy a bottle of toner, whatever is getting below half full, and then filling it back up. Print and see what happens. If the level goes up, it works and can be refilled. If it doesn't and stops at the preset number of pages, then the chip must be replaced when filling. If you have info about someone actually doing this, I'd be interested in reading their postings about it. The toner isn't half bad price wise. Dale :-) :-)
