Hi there…the chip is in your HP cartridge. If you pull out the cartridge and look at the top left side there is a very small little bracket with a tiny chip that slides into the bracket that has 2 gold stickers on it…
When you buy after market (from Amazon) cartridges, they will come with a little kit containing tweezers or even a mini needle nose pliers to help you break the tabs (not hard at all) from the slot the chip is in and then slide it out…the aftermarket cartridge has a little bracket in the same spot, and you’ll slide it into there. One thing to be careful about is not scraping the gold stickers on the chip. If you do, it won’t work. ALSO, do it in a bright spot because that little chip is easy to lose, then you’ll have to make the trek back to Staples to spend $240 on another HP cartridge in order to get another chip…and try to insert the chip in the same direction you slide it out. If your printer won’t print after putting the chip into the new cartridge you’ll just have to slide it out and turn it around and slide it back in. I promise it’s super easy.
I go through 2-3 cartridges a month and am spending $50 vs $240 each…that is a huge huge savings and as far as voiding the warranty by using aftermarket, I’ve paid for a whole new printer at least 14 times over by using aftermarket so to me it’s worth taking the chance. And- The quality is the same-no different at all.
Here is my favorite one from Amazon…it seems to give me tons of pages and is crisp and dark:
I have used Notary Rotary before, but it has not been working for me today. Does anyone know of another secure site that will separate letter & legal docs?
I bought an HP 4101 with 1 tray. I bought a 2nd tray a month later. In the printer settings on the machine, I had to tell it what paper size was in each tray. Maybe check the machine settings if you haven’t already?
Your printer should let you set up trays by papersize.
The only time I encountered what you describe is for a specific lender who had an insurance document that required “letter” size and when the bypass tray fed it paper it changed the setting to letter. I finally printed that one sheet, made a copy of it and deleted it from the pdf so it wouldn’t throw my printer into that weird change the paper every time thing.
Be sure you are printing from pdf also and not from your desktop. Tell the printer to select tray by pdf size. Set your printer for letter (in the tray) and legal in the by pass.
Ive used https://www.notaryrotary.com/mc/pdfsorter.asp for all packages. It separates the Letter and Legal pages and put them into 2 files so you can easily print them. I normally don’t put them in order after the signing though.
When a company ask that the critical loan documents are to be scanned or faxed back to them on the same day. The loan signing paperwork has to be shipped back in the same order as it was delivered to us. I simply use page tags for each critical document placement and label each tag.
I always send the documents back in the order that I receive them. No one has ever complained about it. Sometimes, if there are instructions to “Place this document on top” then I will do that, but I’m not about to rearrange the stack just because I like to get documents signed in a certain order. I figure that they send them to us in the order that they want them. I don’t try to guess.
Seems like that would take a lot of time to sort out the pages. For what it’s worth, I simply scan the whole package and send it back. A good high speed scanned does the trick. Whatever, y’all
