Some printer manufacturers place an ink cartridge chip in the printer. These chips interact with the printer software on the computer, helping to monitor the printer’s use of ink. The software then calculates how much ink is left, which is displayed in the ink level gauge on the computer or sometimes the printer’s display screen. If you have purchased refilled ink cartridges, they will not work in the printer until the ink cartridge chip or ink monitor is disabled. Warnings
