It may be caused by a variety of reasons. Here are some possible solutions: 1. Print paper problem: The print paper may be damp, causing the printout to fade. It is recommended not to store the print paper in a humid environment. 2. Printer settings: Toner saving mode may be turned on. Turning off toner saving mode through the printer driver may improve the printing effect. 3. Cartridge or toner cartridge problem: There may be a problem with the toner or ink cartridge. Remove the toner or ink cartridge, gently shake it back and forth to evenly distribute the toner or ink, and then reinstall it. If the problem persists, […]

June 2024 Ricoh has released the latest firmware for its MP C4504, MP C5002, and MP C2504 series models, while brands such as HP, Canon, and Brother have also released firmware updates for models such as the W1331 series, NPG88 series, and TN-2420 series, respectively.  

There may be two reasons: First, the toner cartridge is not installed properly, which causes the printing device drive wheel and the drum assembly drive wheel to not contact well, thus producing abnormal noise. In this case, just take out the toner cartridge and reinstall it. Second, the spring at the connection between the toner bin and the waste toner bin is aging, falling off or misaligned, resulting in too little resistance or tension, causing the toner cartridge gear to have poor contact and produce abnormal noise. The spring should be replaced.

Italian tribunal upholds €10 million fine for HP, mandates clearer consumer disclosures on printer cartridge compatibility. In addition to the tribunal’s decision in Italy, Hewlett-Packard (HP) finds itself in further legal turmoil as it faces allegations and potential investigations into anticompetitive practices in the United States. The Recycler reports that these allegations assert that HP has been deploying firmware updates that intentionally block the use of non-HP ink cartridges, sparking significant consumer dissatisfaction and scrutiny by legal entities. The crux of the issue lies in HP’s “dynamic security” feature, which ostensibly ensures that printers operate with original HP ink to maintain quality. However, critics and users argue that HP’s firmware updates, which have […]

How long a toner cartridge can last includes two indicators. One is the number of papers that can be printed. This is related to the weight and quality of the toner and the size of the toner bin. Generally, when purchasing a toner cartridge, the number of printed sheets will be marked (the international standard is A4 paper Calculated at a coverage rate of 5%, it means that each piece of A4 paper prints so much content, how many pages can be printed), the greater the number of printable pages, it is obvious that the toner cartridge can be used longer. Another indicator is the photosensitive drum, the core component […]
