Abstract: Techniques are provided for modifying a printer cartridge intended to operate in one type of printer to operate in another type of printer. In one aspect, a method of modifying a toner cartridge intended for operation in a first type of printer to operate in a second type of printer includes removing at least a portion of an old laser shutter fin attached to the toner cartridge at a first location, and attaching a new laser shutter fin to the toner cartridge at a second location, with second location differing from the first location. The old laser shutter fin was positioned to engage a laser shutter of the first type of printer, and the new laser shutter is positioned to engage a laser shutter of the second type of printer. In another aspect, the method may include attaching a chip mounting patch to the toner cartridge, and attaching a computer chip to the chip mounting patch, with the computer chip being compatible with the second type of printer. In another aspect, the method includes replacing a first type of transfer gear of the toner cartridge with a second type of transfer gear, with first type of transfer gear for operation with the first type of printer and said second type of transfer gear for operation.

Abstract: In the toner cartridge recycling and remanufacturing industry, used xerographic products are reconditioned, repaired, and some are refilled with toner. Part of the refurbishment process is the replacing of used and worn components, including an electronic circuit, which has been spent. The electronic circuit is a critical component of the replaceable consumable unit and is used by the printer to store information used in the operation of the printer. Information stored in this electronic circuit relates to how much toner is remaining, the cartridge type, operating characteristics, and so forth. Some of these circuits have been designed for a one-time use application. For example, once the printer has determined that all of the usable toner has been consumed, the printer will essentially turn off the circuit in a replaceable consumable unit and the replaceable consumable unit will no longer function. In the remanufacturing process, a secondary electronic circuit can be attached to this non-functioning circuit in order to allow the replaceable consumable unit to operate once more. The nature of the present invention is directed at the process of repairing this non-functioning circuit and the resulting repaired unit.

Abstract: A shock proof electrical probe comprises a probe tip, a casing for housing batteries, and a cap, each formed entirely of an electrically nonconductive plastic material. To establish an energizing circuit for the probe, the interior of the casing is provided with an elongated electrically conductive strip which extends longitudinally from contact with a circuit board in the probe tip, to an opposite open end of the casing, where the strip is mounted to the casing so as to bendable into electrical contact with an adjacent battery pole, and bendable in opposite direction to permit selective insertion and removal of the batteries from the casing. The probe further includes a steel carrying clip which is entirely encapsulated in electrically nonconductive plastic material. The probe may be of a noncontacting type, which utilizes an antenna for detecting the presence of an AC voltage, or a contacting type for detecting a the presence of a DC voltage. In either instance, when a voltage is present, a light-emitting diode is energized to produce a glow within the probe tip.
