These are the Canon toners affected by the lack of semiconductors

The stock shortage in different segments continues to affect a large part of the markets. A new example is the one that comes to us from Canyon, who, in the absence of chips in their printer cartridges, is teaching customers how to bypass security mechanisms to avoid the use of fake products. If you have a printer of this brand, we will tell you how to do this.

Chip shortage affects Canon toners

The company is sending emails to its users with important information. In these emails, they admit to having a problem with their original cartridges, which incorporate chips to detect their originality and also to provide information. The lack of semiconductors globally affects everyone, including these cartridges.

To avoid major problems for users, Canon recognizes that until this chip can be used again, is selling cartridges without chip, which causes printers to recognize them as non-genuine. He claims that the quality of the ink is identical and therefore the printing will be successful.

What should you do if you have bought one of these cartridges

Canon indicates that when an error message appears when installing toner, the user must close this notice and/or click on Accept (depending on the toner model you purchased). From here, you should use your printer as normal and ignore any messages about remaining ink levels, as these may be false.
