Default FS-720 Cartridge w/o Chip: How does it say "I'm empty"?

Hi,

I wonder why my Kyocera FS-720 tells me the Cartridge is empty, while
the cartridge is the chipless type (optionally, you can purchase
Cartridges with a chip). It's not really empty, though.
The only thing I can imagine is there must be a sensor that would
register the position of this little piece of metal foil insede the
cartridge (attached to a bigger plastic foil moving with the gears)
because I've never seen this freaky foil when refilling a classic
cartridge.
If it's so, the question would be, which position of the metal foil
would signal "full"?

Thanks,
Carsten
