The present invention relates to a toner chip mounting apparatus for installing a disposable toner chip mounted on a toner cartridge of a laser printer and a copying machine on a toner supply device provided separately on the outside so that the toner cartridge can be used without replacement of the toner cartridge after use.

Print manufacturers install toner chips in toner cartridges to provide printing information to users of laser printers and copying machines, to allocate print quantity according to the amount of toner, and to stop printing when toner is exhausted to prevent printing defects.

Therefore, a used cartridge needs to be replaced with a new cartridge, which means that on the user side, the maintenance cost used to consume expensive cartridges was considerable, and waste of resources for the discarded cartridge was severe.

On the other hand, the necessity of replacing the toner chip with the restriction function of stopping the printing by calculating the printing amount by the appearance of the continuous toner supplying device which does not require the replacement of the cartridge is no longer necessary, and thus replaced with the permanently operable toner chip.

Nevertheless, the manufacture of permanent use chips is not possible because the print manufacturer manufactures print and copy machines in a cartridge exchange manner, which is a structure in which the consumed cartridge is forced to replace the consumed cartridge, Revenue accounts for a large portion.

However, in the case of a multi-use toner cartridge or a toner supply device sold in the aftermarket, it is due to the limitation of a method of downloading and resetting existing toner chip information. In addition, in order to reuse the cartridge, the cartridge needs to be charged with toner, and the cartridge is not equipped with a charging port for charging or is structured to be very difficult to charge. When using the charged toner, the toner sometimes leaks out, causing the print quality to deteriorate, damaging the print, and the like.

In order to overcome such a problem, there have been proposed a supply device which is installed outside the print and stably supplies the toner.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-1004286 (registered on Dec. 21, 2010) is directed to an automatic cartridge toner supply apparatus for supplying toner to a cartridge of a laser print from outside automatically or manually, The toner is automatically or manually charged when the toner is not separated from the print, and when the toner is properly charged, the charging is stopped so that overcharging can be prevented.
