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.
