The drum fills up with waste toner and you can empty it but its messy and you need to clean everything carefully after taking it apart. Take out the imaging unit, unloosen the screws on both sides, unmount the retainer springs and push the center pin out of the drum. Take out the drum and unscrew the two screws that were hidden behind the drum. Now take away all parts so that you can empty the waste drum container. Clean everything especially the light emitting panel, drum and white plastic cover needs to be clean. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Samsung CLX 3170 scanner locked

Many scanners contain a scanning head lock to keep the scanning head from moving during shipping. This may still be still be in the lock position. All scanners are different but check the documentation on how to remove the head lock.

SOURCE: Samsung clx-3160fn change image unit

Kindly take out the imaging unit out of the printer and take out and put it properly.

If this did not fix you may try using the imaging unit from other printer.
If this did not solve then visit a service center or buy its Imaging unit.

Can not find the imaging unit for samsung CLX 3170. Do not know how to fix it. Printer says to to replace it soon.

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

What toner does the clx 3175 take. Does it use a chip as well - which one?

Takes CLP 310
To use Toner refill you need a chip that solder to the main board. search Ebay for reset chip for CLX-3175
run around $40.
