pages. These cartridges are designed to be recycled
by Sharp authorized dealers. As such, replacement
chips are available from authorized Sharp dealers,
and now generic chips are also available. Since the
chip shuts down the cartridge at 10,000 pages, you
can recycle the cartridge 2-3 times with the same
chip with out any problems. However, even if you
just recycled the cartridge, once the page count
reaches 10,000, you will need to replace the chip. To
make matters even more confusing, it seems that
non-network (Copier Only) machines do not need
the chip installed at all! We think (but have not yet
been able to confirm), that replacing the chip every
cycle will prevent the machine from shutting down.
That is an increase in cost, but that way you don’t
have to track the usage on your customer’s machine,
or for that matter, the type of machine they have.
The chip is installed in the back of the connector on
the cartridge.

Starter cartridges do not have a chip installed.
The WorkCentre Pro 16 cartridges also use a chip,
but in this case the chip does not seem to shut the
machine down right away. This seems to work the
same as the Sharp AR-150; it can be recycled 2-3
times before the chip shuts the cartridge down.
Replacement chips for these cartridges are now
available. These cartridges differ from the others in
that the “Oblong Tab” on the back of the cartridge
has it’s own unique location. In addition to the tab,
the Waste Chamber is also different. It has a
different shape, and is held on by one screw at the
top, and a plastic tab on the bottom. The chip is
installed in the back of the connector on the
cartridge.

These cartridges have a “Single Use Killer Chip”.
Unlike the other chips in this series, this chip shuts
down the cartridge after the first cycle so it will be
necessary to replace it each time. Replacement chips
for these cartridges are now available. These
cartridges also differ in that the “Oblong Tab” on the
back of the cartridge has it’s own unique location.
The chip is installed in the back of the connector on

Both of the above cartridges are different, and not
interchangeable but the reset procedures are the
same. (These procedures are the same for the XC-
800/Z-835 copier OPC cartridges). These cartridges
are the most popular. There are also other cartridges
that use the same supplies, but are physically
different. There are tabs on the top of the cartridge
that block installation into another brand copier.
These tabs are different for each cartridge type.
If the cartridge is not a "Starter cartridge", there are
two white gears inside the green end cap. On the
large white gear, remove the clip ring and turn the
gear back to the start position. (This is so the
