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.
