Samsung CLX-3175FN printer only prints VERY faint image. Just replaced all toners with genuine Samsung. Never had this problem. All contacts look clean???

My Samsung CLX-3175 printer will not print - the message is replace/install toner waste bin. I have emptied the waste bin of all the ink and still the message will not go. I have a stack of work to do and am stuck as to what to do next! Help please

Dear user,

You have to select monochrome print settings first. go to properties of your printer and choose the tab where you get to select between B&W and color.

Hi,

Did you do some changes in the toners recently. Are you inserting the toner correctly . Please reseat the toner once again and switch off the printer and restart it.

Waiting for your comments.

If is attempting to print the documents remove the cartridges and check to make sure they were properly installed. Make sure that the tape was removed that covers the ink and that the cartridges "click" into place when installed.

Please have a look at the links below; each includes a short video to help explain the process. You should order an imaging unit to have on hand for replacement. At the end are included the product number for your consumables. Suggest you find a local supplier or seacrh on-line for a competive price or you can opt to puchase directly from Samsung.

I could not find information specific to your model on the proper relacements for the imaging unit and toner cartridges; however, I was able to find a statement that the CLX-3170FN and CLX-3175FN are the same printer the main difference is just the colour of the unit. They should therefore use the same imaging unit and toner cartridges which I have listed below:

CLT-M409S Magenta
CLT-C409S Cyan
CLT-K409S Black
CLT-R409 Imaging Unit
CLT-W409 Waste Toner Collector
CLT-Y409S Yellow

You will have to purchase an new imaging drum. It is the shiny green metallic cylinder in the bottom back of the printer. It is the last piece to come out when you remove the toner waste unit and then all the toners. It sits on the very bottom/back of the toner bay. They are not cheap but do not need to be replaced very often and it will give like new printing after.

The printer has a build up of toner on the drum/fuser, a maintenance cleaning done by certified technician of the printer would fix this problem.

Hi,

To run a quick check on your black toner, insert your old black toner back to the printer.

press on the menu button -> system -> report-> supplier info-> print. and same for your new toner, if it show u both the old n new black toner are under the same serial number. the new toner might be faulty. Invalid toner detected.

get the new toner with the box packing back to the shop for replacement.

I have just now, taken the waste toner bin out, squirted in some hand soap and water. Shook vigorously and rinsed it out. the CLX-3175 is working a treat again !
