The manufacturer set the life limit of toners etc so as to give the best
performance - if you overide this limit you may find that performance
deteriorates.
Many toner cartridges have a waste toner container built in - this may
make you think that there is more usable toner than there really is.
So Elle is thinking about cheating and worrying that the manufacture keeps
the command secret to prevent Elle cheating?
Elle doesn't seem to realize that RESETING is part of marketing (replacing
empty toner/drumer with newer one), and part of operating.
- Toner is dirt cheap, Elle can buy a remanufactured or refilled one for
probably around $20-30. The Elle will have to RESET for the printer to
realize that this is a brand new toner/drumer
- If Elle wants and knowing how, then Elle can buy a bottle of toner to
refill the old empty toner with new toner. A bottle of toner may cost
around $10-20 and may have enough to refill more than 2 (depending on the
toner yield).
