Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) products are configured to print only the amount of ink held within the product. Within the compatible industry, it is quite common that the compatible cartridge holds more ink that the OEM. Therefore, once the printer has printed its recognised quota of pages, the printer will automatically prompt you to change the cartridge. If you turn the printer off and then back on again, this may overcome the signal and printing will resume until the ink supply is depleted.
