Re: My samsungclx-3160 all in one is asking me to...
The waste toner tank may be full. Please open the front cover( where the toner bottles are located). You will find a transparent "L " shaped box is the waste toner tank. You may pull it out and replace it.

hi,waste toner container is the printer after the printing balance taransferbelt toner image is wiping & then store the printer tank this is the waste tank or toner waste container
Go to printer properties and check whether you have selected print in grey mode and also check whether you have selected the economic mode. Rectify the same will solve your problem.
Empting the waste toner tank does not always fix this problem. Samsung shines a light through the tank with a photo receptor on the other side. If it the photo receptor does not see enough light, it will trigger the replace waste tank message.
You can fix this by trying to clean the clear window portion of the tank with a q-tip. This is difficult to do since there are parts of this window which is hard to clean with a q-tip.
Or you could wash it out with soapy water until the window is clear of toner. Allow the tank to dry and reinstall.
There is a tank in the back/side compartment that keeps toner waste fluid. It is in a container like a water bottle and the fluid is black in color. Once you pull it out there is a full line and the liquid on the inside is what needs to be discarded. Empty the contents and replace the tank. Restart your printer and the error message should clear up.
When this happened, I took the tank out and shook it out into a garbage can (do this outside and be very careful not to breathe the dust). I then took a shop vac and held the hose at the opening while blowing compressed air into the tank. Wiggle the air nozzle around and you'll get out 99% of the toner. Pay extra attention to the sensor optics (plastic bulges on the sides of the tank).These need to be clean since the printer knows when the tank is full because the toner blocks light shining from one side of the tank to the other
Reinstall the tank and be sure it is fully inserted. If they printer is still on, turn it OFF. Close the front door of the machine and turn it back on.
The Waste Toner Cartridge must be VERY clean, especially around the "bump" directly below the left side hole. After I CAREFULLY emptied the old toner out, I used air compressor to clean every bit of toner out from inside. Then I wiped the whole area around the "bump" where the sensor "sees" if the tank is empty. Even a slight film over the area will not allow for reuse. If you do this, it works every time.
