Apex found that newly produced printers use with CF500/510 series cartridges has made hardware upgrades, which results the replacement chips are unrecognized by its corresponding printers produced after January 2018. Meanwhile, the printer prompts “Supply Memory Error”. Products (CF530/540) of the same series might be update soon.
