THIS TONER CARTRIDGE DOES NOT HAVE INTEGRATED DRUM UNIT. THE DRUM IS A SEPARATE UNIT FROM THE TONER CARTRIDGE.
There are four colors in this series. Black, Magenta, Cyan, and Yellow.
These toner cartridges come with a new waste toner box that must be replaced at the same time as the toner cartridges. It also comes with an extra waste toner box in case the box needs to be replaced before the next toner change.
Not Recognizing
Verify you have the correct cartridge for your specific model printer.
This cartridge uses a RF or radio frequency sensor chip that’s located on the bottom of the cartridge. This chip does not make physical contact with the printer but rather sits in a specific position to be picked up by the printer’s sensor. Make sure that the cartridge is properly inserted and locks into place to ensure the chip is in the correct position. If the problem persists it is most likely an issue with the chip on the cartridge.

Print Quality Issues

If the toner is smearing or coming off the paper, try switching to a thicker paper media setting. The paper media selection can be changed under the Paper Selection menu option on the touchscreen of the printer
Streaking, lines, ghost images, and repeating image defects are drum related issues. The drum unit is separate from the toner cartridge.
Not Fitting
Verify you have the correct cartridge for your specific printer model. Check to make sure the cartridge is being installed in the correct orientation. Make sure you are installing the correct color cartridge into the correct slot. Check the inside of the printer for any obstructions that may be causing the cartridge not to fit properly. Check the cartridge itself for physical damage.
