Do dell laser printers have smart chips that cause the cartridge to expire before the toner runs out.?

In other words, does the printer lie about the toner being empty, so you have to buy new caratridge early?Do dell laser printers have smart chips that cause the cartridge to expire before the toner runs out.?
Yes, the newer laser printer toner cartridge has a smart chip in it to prevent third party refilling the cartridge and re-use it. But I have not experienced the smart chip gave fault signal that the cartridge is empty when in fact it is not. But remember the cartridge that came with the new printer is just a starter cartridge and it is only 20 to 30% full. So many people fiound that they have to replace the initial cartridge very soon.Do dell laser printers have smart chips that cause the cartridge to expire before the toner runs out.?
Yes it seems to have a chip
Yes. The chip is programed to be used ';x'; amount of times, before it tells the printer it is empty. This also explains why, even if you refill the cartridge, it will still say it is empty and needs to be replaced. Most printers have this, not just Dell's.
no, just dont know how many printout have you done, usually a toner catridges can print out approximately 2300 printout then no more ink, don't beleive it will print more than 2500 for laser home use model.
yeah that happened to me once. The thing was new but it said it was empty...?
