When loading Spitfire ink cassettes with smart-chip, it is possible that you get the message “not original ink”.
If this is the case, please proceed as follow :
Step 1 : Remove the ink cassette.
Step 2 : Take a closer look at the smart-chip.
Step 3 : There are some lines on the smart-chip made by the sensors in the cartridge box.
Nr. Part
1 Cassette
2 Smart-chip
3 Lines made by the sensors in the cartridge box
Step 4 : There are three possibilities.
Situation 1: The lines are in the middle
This is the perfect situation; the one which should be obtained.
Situation 2: The lines are lying on the black lines
This is the situation when the printer will display the message. “No original ink”. The sensors do
not detect the smart chip because the sensors do not touch the copper. This problem can be
solved easily. Move the smart-chip a few millimetres above, so that the sensor lines lie in the
middle of the black lines as in situation 1.
