Black cartridge for Epson C1100 printer was replaced with a remanufactured cartridge, however supply status on LCD and screen show low toner near empty. Printer still prints but does not show toner level. Any suggestions to rectify this?
This is what happens when you also do a refil, but the advice from the refill people is to ignore the low ink warning as it will print happily until the point that the next message comes up which is that you need to replace the toner. Effectively this is to do with teh chip in the cartridge thaht tells the printer that it is low and unless you buy a new cartridge you will still get the low toner message but it is safe to ignore.

This may or may not work but you can try taking the toner cartridge out and carefully shaking it, (don't spill it on yourself) then re-install it and see if you've shaken enough toner loose to fool the printer.If so it may make a print for you if this doesn't work you have no option but to replace the toner cartridge.

Remove the toner cartridge from the printer.
Take the new toner cartridge out of its package and gently shake the toner cartridge as shown below.

If you wait until the colour has completely run out, you will see a message to that effect, and the correct cartride will be presented. If you wish to change before this:
1. On the

the "down" button (labeled no. 4) until you see the RESET MENU.

"right" button (labeled no. 3) once.

printer door and change the toner as normal.
IF the problem persists with an original cartridge then the factory settings should be restored refer the manual or go through the settings in the control panel . minimise the tone of printing . If toner is getting accumulated in the printer then it might be due to refilled toner not the original cartridge . use the original cartridges
go to the reset menu (right arrow and then down arrow until reset menu is displayed) on the lcd display and then choose change toner #(right arrow until the desired toner is displayed)
