How to Change the Chip on a Canon PGBK 225

A sharp utility knife is needed for this job.

The Canon PGBK 225 is also referred to as the PGI 225. It is a blank ink cartridge used in a wide range of Canon inkjet printers. When the ink cartridge runs low, it can be refilled with ink as an alternative to buying a new cartridge. The chip built into the cartridge tracks how much the cartridge is used to gauge when it will be empty. Change the chip with a new one from a refill kit to ensure the cartridge can still be used in your printer.

Things You'll Need

• Utility knife

Instructions

1. Hold the Canon PGBK 225 cartridge so the chip is facing up.

2. Cut off the two plastic pins holding the chip down with the utility knife.

3. Lift the old chip off of the ink cartridge.

4. Position the new chip onto the cartridge so the holes in the chip line up with the cartridge pins.

5. Press the chip into the cartridge until it snaps into place.
