The company has announced the availability of a new chip solution for use in various Ricoh copiers.
Since 2019, Zhono’s teams in IP, Engineering, Product, and R&D have devoted countless hours to discussing, researching, and designing patented chip solution for Ricoh copiers. To ensure that its chip solutions meet the key requirements of global remanufacturing factories, Zhono’s team has revised more than ten versions of its chip solution.
By the end of 2023, the 12th version of Zhono’s chip solution for Ricoh copiers passed the verification test. Zhono said: “Through our innovative elastic contact design, this solution not only meets the requirements of the connection between chip contacts and the internal printer connection, but also reduces the risk of infringing upon OEM patents. Currently, our chip solution has obtained significant certification from a third-party organization in Japan.”
Features of Zhono patented chip solution for Ricoh copiers:
- Innovative design of “C”-shaped elastic contact
The shape and material of the newly designed “C”-shaped elastic contact on the chip allows the elastic contact to have a non-rigid contact with the internal contacts of the printer. This ensures a better contact between the chip’s elastic contact and the internal contacts of the machine, while also providing a high fault tolerance in the contact, thereby significantly reducing the probability of the damage to the internal contacts of the machine. - The memory (IC) and the chip holder are arranged in a staggered layout
This design effectively prevents the contacts of the holder from accidentally touching the memory (IC) on the chip, thereby significantly reducing the risk of the memory (IC) being damaged. - The chip solution supports OEM cartridges
This chip can be used on OEM cartridges. Zhono has conducted on-machine tests with different printers, including Ricoh MPC3500, MPC5500, MPC3000, MPC4500, MPC2500, IMC2500, IMC3000, and IMC2510 series.
The company added: “Zhono has also compared our patented chip with other compatible chips on the market and found no issues with our chip. Our customers can be assured of the quality of our chip solution.”
