Zhono Chips Unaffected by Ricoh’s August Firmware Upgrade
Zhono Chips Unaffected by Ricoh’s August Firmware Upgrade
In early August, Ricoh released firmware updates for multiple printer models. Some customers were concerned about whether Zhono chips would still function normally on these printers after the updates. On August 4th and 18th, Zhono engineers performed rigorous chip tests on five key Ricoh models.
Throughout each test, Zhono chips passed with a 100% success rate, thus proving they remained unaffected by the firmware updates. The chips maintain complete operational compatibility in both previous and current models. The chart below highlights the verified test results.

Each test was conducted in strict accordance with standardized firmware upgrade testing protocols, including lifespan evaluations and status page printing. Zhono places the highest priority on chip reliability and consistency. Through these standardized verification procedures, we further ensure stable and consistent chip performance on printers with both legacy and current firmware.
