Compatible Konica Minolta TN414 toner: installation, chip reset and savings

The compatible TN414 toner is a high-capacity monochrome consumable for Konica Minolta departmental multifunction machines. It offers a stated yield of 25,000 pages (ISO/IEC 19752 measurement) and is manufactured under an ISO 9001 quality system. It is a direct alternative to the original cartridge for anyone printing high volumes who wants to reduce the cost per page without changing machine.

What it is and which printers it works with

The TN414 is a black cartridge designed for office copiers and multifunction machines. At Star Toner it is compatible exactly with these models:

• Konica Minolta bizhub 363
• Konica Minolta bizhub 423
• Konica Minolta bizhub 7828

If your machine does not appear on this list, do not assume compatibility: check with us before buying. A cartridge with a similar code but from a different family may not fit physically or may not be read by the machine.

How to install it and what to do if it "does not recognise the cartridge"

Installation is identical to that of the original consumable: open the front door, remove the spent cartridge, gently shake the new TN414 horizontally to distribute the toner and insert it until you hear the locking click. Close the door and the bizhub will start recognition automatically.

If a toner not recognised or incorrect level warning appears, try these steps in order:

• Remove and refit the cartridge, checking that it is seated properly and that the chip is clean.
• Switch the machine off at the main switch, wait a minute and turn it back on to force the chip to be re-read.
• If the machine asks you to confirm a new consumable, accept the message from the panel to reset the counter.

The TN414 incorporates its own chip, so under normal conditions you do not need any manual reset: simply restart the machine. If the warning persists after these steps, get in touch and we will look into it with you.

Yield and savings compared with the original

At the same number of pages per cartridge, a compatible consumable significantly reduces the cost per page compared with the original, while maintaining a stable print density throughout its entire service life. It is the most direct lever for cutting spending in offices that print documents, reports or delivery notes every day.
