SAMSUNG ML-2165W (MLT-D101S) TONER CARTRIDGE REMANUFACTURING INSTRUCTIONS
TECHNICAL TIP: HOW TO CIRCUMVENT SAMSUNG’S ML-2160/2165 CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT LIMITATION
UniNet offers solutions for optimal performance powered by our Award Winning Technical Team.
On this opportunity we will touch on the Samsung ML-2160, 2165, SCX-3405 printers with cartridge part number MLT-D101S.
Samsung has built in a very devious cartridge replacement limitation on this printer series in which there is a maximum
limitation of 250 cartridges per machine allowed.
There are two issues to consider with this system, one is that a testing bed can be rendered useless after testing 250 cartridges;
the second is that an end users machine can be rendered useless (or dramatically reduced) if the final chip is used
during testing.
- This means only 250 new cartridges (the OEM are included on the count) in total can be installed into the printer.
- Whenever you insert a new cartridge (to be recognized by chip serial number) to the printer, the printer will count "+1" for
the replacement. At the same time, the total accumulated number will be recorded to both the printer and chip of the cartridge.
Now comes the sneaky part: If you take this recorded cartridge to another printer, the install count record in the chip will be writ-
ten to the printer and of course "+1" will be counted, and so on...
In other words, if you take a cartridge from a machine that has run 240 cartridges and install it in a brand new machine, that new
machine will have a total life left of nine cartridges (240+1)!
Once the replacement limitation of 250 has been reached, the printer will stop its functionality.
As a result, our technical team strongly recommends: “Do not test the toner cartridges with a new chip before delivery." Use an
in-house testing chip (marked with bright paint) to run all the cartridge testing and then after it has passed, install a new chip on
the cartridge.
Otherwise, customer printers would be counted up to the number on the cartridge (from your testing printer), and once changed,
it is unrecoverable.
