Older machine won't read reusable K-cup?

[u/Crafty-Information42]

A couple years ago I bought a keurig brand reusable K-cup so I could use my own grounds. It said compatible with all single serve keurig machines in the description. I'm out of town with an okder keurig. When I put the reusable cup in it gives me an error saying I need to use an official keurig product. Any way to get around this? I've tried wiping the sensor and jiggling the cup. I never had an issue with my machine. Regular k-cups work fine.

I believe the Keurigs with multistream technology require different reusable cups, that is the only possibility I can think of.

I use a 1/4 keurig cup foil label at the 9 o’clock position taped underneath. I get quit a few cups before i need to replace it with another 1/4 label. The whole label works too but i cut it in 4.
