"Cartridge is not compatible" or "Cartridge is not recognised"
The compatible cartridge has been installed correctly but the printer is not registering it as installed or states it is not compatible.
Resolution:
- Remove the affected cartridge/cartridges from the printer.
- Turn the printer off and wait for 2 minutes.
- Turn your printer back on and wait for a further 2 minutes.
- Once the printer warns that certain cartridge/cartridges are missing, re-install them one at a time.
"Used Cartridge Installed"
After installing your new cartridge, the printer will indicate that a 'used' cartridge has been installed.
Resolution: Please note this is just a warning message. When the message appears, press 'OK' to continue. You should now be able to print as normal. This error should only appear once for each cartridge.
"Non HP-Chip detected"
Resolution: This could be due to a new HP firmware update on the printer. Please contact our customer care centre for more information.
Problem: Faded Output
Printouts are coming out faded.
Resolution
- If the print quality is poor, remove the toner cartridge from the printer and gently rock the cartridge from side to side.

Resolution
- Print 15-20 pages and see if the problem persists.

Resolution
- Remove the toner cartridge from the printer and gently rock the cartridge from side to side.
- This movement helps distribute to the toner evenly within the cartridge.
