Iam the proud owner of a Samsung clp-310..It has been functional for more than 5 years or even more..and still is a giant...providing great pleasure and economy on every printing task I perform.I enjoyed your video ..it was very helpful and eye-opening ...THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thanks for a great video! My CLP-315W was printing faded on the right side for all colors, so I was guessing the transfer roller or belt needed to be cleaned, but I didn't know where it was. Your video helped me find it and clean it, and gave me confidence that I wouldn't damage it. After cleaning and reassembly, the fading problem was completely gone! You saved me $350! Thank you!
These printers are getting very old, but the drums are still available, as they were used in a later model. The transfer belts may not be worth the cost of replacing. The waste toner collector may be the next limit after that. If nothing else, this video shows how easy it is to check the belt before spending money on anything else.
Thank you! Reassemblng / cleaning TBU of my CLP310 removed yellow toner splashes! There is a note inside service manual "There is no user serviceable parts inside TBU". I gues this is mentioned because of planned obsolescence of electronic devices...
To remove the fuser correctly you have to remove the side panel and disconnect the two cables before attempting to release it from the printer. Doing it the way as in the video can cause damage to those cables.
Mine turned out to be the fuser - luckily, someone was selling an exact duplicate of my printer for $30. I rushed down and grabbed it. They had stopped using it when the original toner's ran out! Nearly new. Yay.
thanks. this is very helpful. My inlaws have a Samsung CLP 365w that has not been used in more than 7 years. The toner are all about half full. The first 20 pages that I printed, show nothing on the page at all, and now each page I print it is starting to show a little bit. Can you make a diagnosis ? I wanted to guess it is the IS the heating unit something that can be replaced.
Grazie mille per la guida dettagliata! Purtroppo anche dopo la pulizia del transfer unit e del drum kit il problema del cosiddetto "gosthing" non si è risolto: nella stessa pagina le immagini e le linee dell'inizio si ripetono sullo sfondo più in basso, o nella pagina successiva... Secondo te vale la pena comprare un drum kit e un transfer unit nuovo?
Hi viandant ... you seem to be the man for laser printers! I have a clx 3170 making clanking noise inside when takes in paper - makes a good print but something will break! All apart except fuser/transfer belt area - 4screws out but can't remove fuser at left (drive) side?
to disassemble the printer you have to remove the side panel first. but a clicking noise may be related to the drum or the toner cartridge too. if it works, I suggest you let it continues if the noise is not too irritating
Hi I have a C480FW and successfully replaced the transfer belt and fuser unit by following your video - thank you - it was very useful. I used new manufactured parts (not refurbished). However, the warning lights and messages still flash and the Supplies Information page still shows the page counts for the old fuser and transfer belt. How can I reset them to make the printer realise it now has new parts? It's really quite annoying and I constantly have users complaining they have lost connection to the printer for scans, printing, etc. I will never buy another Samsung printer. That said, if you can help to make it less annoying, that would be a great help Many Thanks Jules
Thanks for the prompt reply - the machine is still working, even though the supplies information report says the transfer belt has used 20047 of the 20000 capacity. I think it will be ok to use, it's just annoying that it still has the error message. I did successfully change the fuser based on your video, so thank you again for your help. Regards Jules
We have a Samsung CLP-315 laser that has been in storage for some years and now it still prints well but with smears. We have cleaned the transfer belt, but it seems that it has picked up faint creases from edge to edge from being still for so long, and these creases pick up the toner again very soon after replacing the belt. Is there any way to remove these creases, like with hot air?
May be the toner roller has a clump of toner caused by umidity. clean the toner rollers with a soft cloth. it could be the drum too, or the fuser rollers. Check if there are defects on the drum surface
Set olit on it side.. good idea but how can I accomplish this if everything is so compact inside and it appears to be that the back door needs to be closed so it can print... thanks again
Wich rollers? fuser roller? the clicking noise may be not related to the fuser rpller, but to gears or a roller bushing. try cleaning and lubricate the gears with grease. To change rollers you have to dismantle the fuser unit
hello, your video is great! Unfortunately I have not resolved the problem with my printer. The diagnostic programme just say error encendido de cyclo which translates to error in printer cycle. the red led comes on and it does not make any noise as when you normally turn it on. Should I change the fusor? or what else could it be?
Hi gr8 vid thanks! I have the same model.. cleaned just about everything, check a bazillion things- only thing i didnt do is the transfer unit. The printer doesnt roll when warming up but it used to.. Just goes to solid red light. Software indicates paper jam 2 - sometimes when I open/close front/rear cover the bottom light will light from solid red to solid green, however upper light usually stays yellow solid (all toner lights off). Hopefully this will solve my problem!
I think the problem is not the transfer roller. may be there is a defective sensor along the paper path that causes the jam, ot the sensor of the rear cover.
Have a CLP-315W, purchased in 2010. Worked fine until recently. Now has small amount of smoke coming from fuser area, and burning electrical odor. Is it worth taking apart to see what it looks like inside or is it toast? Thanks!
+Linda Weight is the printer working? a small amount of smoke from fusers may be normal in winter, it's humidity. if it does not work, probably it's not worth to repair it. probably the heated inside the roller has problems
Hi there My printer started making strange kind of grinding noises and the paper is getting caught and chewed up. I have in the past fixed other issues but I don't know what is causing this so don't know which video to look at for potential repair. Any suggestions? I would be so grateful if you have any thoughts on this.
Hi could you put on a video on how to un clog a brand new Black toner which seems is clogged for a Samsung CLP-610ND. It is still 96% full. I have replaced the transfer belt but the toner is clogged. Can you please help!
It's not possible to disconnect the fuser. You may try to change its position, putting the fuser on a side with all its connectors and cables, but if the sheet don't reach the fuser, you'll have a printer error so you can print only an object then you have to restart the printer. Also keep in mind that without the heat of the fuser the image will not fix over the metal sheetm so you'll have a metal with simple toner powder over it
First check the USB cable or plug the USB cable on another computer's port. if it doens't works the problem comes from the fuser. Switch off the printer, and after 5 minutes switch on. If the error is still here, the fuser must be replaced. Hope it helps
Is the transfer belt for the 320/325 & 310/315 the same? The belt on my CLP310 somehow became damaged while changing a toner cartridge (I realize there is no direct contact - I'm suspecting an excess of toner stuck to the drum and then onto the belt damaged the belt). I'm guessing the cleaning blade in the transfer belt assembly is also damaged and so I am looking for a complete assembly to replace and not just the belt. Any recommendations for a supplier that will ship to Canada for a reasonable price (ie: not using UPS...)?
it may a gear tooth broken in the fuser unit, but it's difficult to find it. Samsung only sell the fuser unit, so you have to buy the whole unit. also give a look to the drum gear in the drum unit.
I have the CLP 415nw, which was great until we got a paper jam inside the fuser unit. Some of the paper is still stuck inside the unit, so no paper can feed. Can the fuser unit be dismantled to clear it, or is this a case of buy the new part and dump the 2 month old paper trap?
viandant5 Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I had to disassemble the fuser. The paper had rolled around the roller completely, and I also had an accordion fold of a previous page. It seems if I print a full page photo with minimal margins the paper curls too much and it does not exit. Solution was simply to impose a 3/8 inch margin (critically at the top of the page) and the print exits the fuser roller assembly. a tech would probably think it was too hot, causing the excessive paper curl. Does not happen with print, only any full page width image with narrow margin. The 414nw is not quite like your video of the 315, but well enough tot take the plunge, thanks again
So, after dismantling the fuser and taking the rolled paper out of it. How is the print quality now? My wife has done it for the second time printing a full page photo. I'm worried because I've just bought a new drum unit and finally after getting it to print again; although it had few smears and I was about to clean it. Now the plastic bar on top of the fuser is broke; I'm worried that I may have to buy a new one, which is hard to find. Let alone that it would have been wiser to buy a new one, even though I haven't used it that much.
I have the CLP 310 and a mac computer since day one even after installing all the drivers smart panels the software has never shown the "Details" of printer supplies levels or errors etc. It prints fine or has printed fine. I been getting black horizontal black smudges RANDOMLY across the page and sometimes on one sheet no smudges at all. I never have got a error that the waste tank is full but I am thinking it may be full as I have never emptied it before and have 2000 sheets printed so far I believe. I am thinking I have not got the waste tank full warning because the software on the mac has never really worked or communicated well with the mac. Making the waste tank full may be the reason I am getting a dirty transfer belt? How can I tell if the Waste tank is full where is the FULL mark looking on the thank? Mine has the lower section full yet the upper thinner part of intake of tank is just dusty not full. How can I tell when the tank is full if I am not getting tank full warning? Also is this warning on the software visually on computer or something on the Printer itself? Thanks for anyone who can help me. Thanks ahead of time.
I think it's not a waste toner tank full. I would try to clean the transfer belt with isopropyl alcohol, or may be the black toner cartridge is defective
viandant5 hey I like to thank you for such a quick response! Awesome in this day and age. Also I think you may be correct as last night I emptied the waste tank and even through I have never ever emptied of before and I have gone through 3 black toner cartridges already and the machine is 4 years old it was not really full which surprises me considering I never emptied it . I learned how to dissemble and clean the belt and it looked in good condition. The test sheet says the belt still have 65% left on its life. I have only printed 1965 sheets on a 10,000 print life of machine it says. So I believe you are correct when you said it is the toner cartridge. It is a replacement "Generic brand" cartridge and that blade above the toner roller on cartridge looks like it's been opened and reclosed and glued back in place. Which to me is a bit Mickey Mouse in recycled work of the cartridge. The thing is you can't get the original Samsung replacement cartridges anymore so I am forced to buy the generic brands. After cleaning everything it prints ok on the first sheet then 2nd sheet has the horizontal streaks about 1/2 inch thick and slightly smudgy sometimes not all times but sometimes. So I think the blade on toner cartridge is letting to toner on the belt maybe? So I am going to give a different brand of toner cartridge a try to see if that fixes it. Let me know what you think. I like to learn to fix things and it has been a headache for me but I learned how to take the machine apart and how it works now. I tip my hat to guys like you that learn to fix things
hello how are you a consultation I have a problem with my laser printer c410w. When I print something, it stains my page. then disarm it and clean it. I also cleaned the image tube but what I do not know if I did well to discard all the black powder that contains the container of the image tube. When I did all that, I put it to work and the tube got stuck. I think something held it or the dust worked like a lubricator, I think. or nose that could be the problem I hope your answer thanks greetings.
@viandant5 I changed the fuser and transfer belt unit as the printer started giving message to replace them. Even after replacing with new ones, the samsung printer application still gives me message to replace fuser and drum. Wonder if there is a way to reset the counters ?
the drum has a fuse but it's difficult to find and replace. I'don't know any method to reset the transfer belt counter .try update firmware, it's strange that with a new original drum and belt don't cancel the error message.
If the fuser and transfer belt came from a 'NEW UNUSED' printer, this can be the cause of the non-reset of the fuser or transfer counters. Often the 'ship with printer' units have no counter chip of their own, and the PRINTER assumes that when its own pagecount reaches the 'life' count of the fuser, transfer (or other consumables), that these items must be replaced. Genuine REPLACEMENT items have their own counter chip, or reset fuse (depending on the printer manufacturer). So if it's another original item from a 'new' or low count printer, this may not t have the ability to reset the counter for that item. This is also true of the 'starter' toner cartridges in many printers.
Hey, thanks for the video. My printer is making uneven colour, in regular cloudy stripes across the page. Can't figure it out. do you think it might be the drum or the transfer belt? any help appreciated!
Seems to be Half the diameter of the Charge rod. The lines go down the page so across the paper left to right if you look at it as a letter Strangely I saw that the foam roller next to the charge rod was lighter and darker this seemed to correspond with the light and dark streaks cross the page. But I can't understand what effect the foam roller would have
Hello Viandant5, I have a Samsung Laser Printer C460FW ... Could you kindly show how I could change the Presser Roller on how to take it out, and replace it with a new one? I didn't want to go to the repair shop because it's going to cost me around $150 to get it replaced not including parts. Thanks in advance!
The noise keeps coming from a feeder on the top portion of the unit. Coincidentally, the page being printed skips as it comes out so the print is choppy and shows horizontal smudges. Does this help? How can I fix it?
Hi. I have this machine (CLP-315) and have ghosting. Would taking it apart and cleaning it like this work? I've just bought a brand new drum, and it didn't make any difference. The ghosting seems to be a ghost of the entire page prior. I have heaps of toner and don't want to just chuck it away.
I have the same problem. I have changed the drum and toner and cleaned the transfer belt. I also opened it up like he said to try to wipe down the fuser / orange part. Nothing seems to help. I also have horizontal lines across the first page. Wild Bee, did you ever find a solution? (I too do not want to just chuck it away since I have toner and already invested all the $ and time into it.)
It's a generic error message. I would first install the smart panel application on your PC. it will translate the red led in a clear failure description. It may be a defective fuser. It may also be something as simple as the waste toner needing to be emptied
Hello Viandant5, I haven't used this exact printer for 1 year. i only used it for 3 months. now, it is dusty, I have new toners just in case. now, it is dusty with toner color inside the waste toner and the belt kind of dirty. what suggestions you make to start using this printer again. I tested now, it prints dirty page with lines. reply
+Christian Yepez vertical lines? verify if the lines are on the drum too. in this case, probably the wiper blade of the drum is damaged. you can clean the belt unit with isopropyl alcohol. do not use air compressed, or the dust may dirty the laser scanner unit
+viandant5 not really vertical lines, just toner powder stains, really light light when printing. I am cleaning what you show in this video? Imaging scanner unit, should I clean it too?
+Christian Yepez it's not a problem if the waste toner container is empty. the problem related to a laser scanner unit dirty are white vertical lines. so the problem is a grey background all around the page? I can't see the machine so I0m not sure but IO think you have to change the black toner cartridge. the drum may be the problem too.
you can find a fuser around 100 $. it would be worth but it's not so sure the problem is only the fuser. probably it's better to buy another printer. CLP 365W is a great printer
i've got a CLP-315 and it's been printing just fine. However recetly it wants to print vertical stripes. Just today i changed the printer settings to Greyscale and the lines pretty much disappeared! They return when i change the settings back to Color however. What do you think i should do? i've already order a drum replacement. This drum has at least 10,000 sheets on it. BTW, your video is very professional! Thanks and have a great day! :)
+viandant5 , thank you very much for helping. Since pics are worth 1,000 words, here's one in Greyscale... s10.postimg.org/8lxli1dtl/freds_greyshade_photo.jpg If you need, i can also get you one in color - the Mexican seal is in full color. Have a great day! :) Edit> i took out the drum and it had some very light black powder spots on it. i cleaned it with a clean cloth, replaced everything and printed again in Greyscale. A perfect page. The drum did not have any vertical lines on it. Maybe it's not the drum but something else. Photo here of 1st page in color... s2.postimg.org/3n9g9waux/freds_1st_color_photo.jpg
viandant5 thanks, i already did it. I was having a hard time pulling the side panel off, once that was done the plugs etc were easy. thanks again for your video!
Hello I cleaned the drum and when I printed a test text page, the paper seems to have fused to the fuser? do you know what could have caused that and can it be fixed or do I need a new fuser? Thanks!
Ciao io ho una clx 3185 fn che ha circa 8000 pagine stampate in totale e da pochi giorni mi da errore cinghia trasferimento, la ho tirata giù e pulita etc, visivamente sembra tutto a posto e la stampante si comporta in maniera normale senza rumori strani, ma all accensione dopo il riscaldamento segnala subito errore cinghia, avendo anche una clp 325 che monta gli stessi pezzi, provando a invertire i 2 nastri la clx 3185 funziona mentre la clp 325 da errore, evidentemente è proprio la cinghia ma è possibile abbia un sensore guasto o altro al suo interno? Grazie
I am having a problem where the prints come out smudged with some horizontal lines, and there are 2 arrows that are being printed in all pages - even if the files I try to print are different. Can you help me with this problem?
the arrows are always in the same position? If not look at the drum unit, it could be a drum defect. the horizontal lines are always at the same distance?
You can empty it if full, make attention to wash it so there is no toner on the laser sensor path and there is a counter, after a certain number of copies you have to change it
I've no video on this argoument, if I remember well you have to remove two screws on the back and now you can lift up the scanner unit but to remove the cable of the scanner it 's necessary to dismantle the printer
do you check the Smart Panel? right click on the blue S in your system tray near the clock and select SmartPanel from the list. it may be a problem wit a cartridge chip
Can anyone tell me how I can remove the fuser roller from a Samsung CLX 3305FN. It is totally rolled up with paper and I can't pull it off and don't want to damage the fuser. I can't see how to remove the whole top like in this video, Thanks
yes A drama full of other printers I tested a complete print And I realized that the problem of the drum. But all the drama faulty connections no problem What's the problem? THX
if the problem is the drum, using a tester verify the contact between the drum and surface of the drum. Search in this channel "toner cartridge troubleshooting guide"
Anybody could explain how to solve my problem : printer prints horizontal lines of each colors. One on the first 1/3 of the page, one in the botom. I mean its 2 times 4 lines ....
I can do : Epson Printer reset canon Printer reset Samsung Printer reset Samsung printer toner life has ended the tips or hints toner cartridge is not compatible need to clear brush machine.
Now my computer doesn't recognize my printer. No big deal. 15 legal documents to print for signing. grrr What's going on? The printer starts to cycle and quits. I get a message to see the troubleshooting guide.
says my printer is off line. I went through the trouble shooting guide and installed new drivers. Still nothing. I've turned the printer off and back on. I've done the same with my computer. I have a green light on the printer but no "network" blue light.
I thought my router was bad so I replaced it. My printer has worked with my PC for years. Suddenly, my printer is 'offline' and I'm not savvy enough to figure this deal out. I have a Samsung CLP-315W.
Iam the proud owner of a Samsung clp-310..It has been functional for more than 5 years or even more..and still is a giant...providing great pleasure and economy on every printing task I perform.I enjoyed your video ..it was very helpful and eye-opening ...THANK YOU SO MUCH

Thanks for the silent power and clear way to show step by step. Thanks!!!
Thanks, this helped to repair my CLP325W printer and saved me a lot of money to buy a new one. Just had to clean the transport belt.
old but relevant today for a dormant CLP 315. Clear instructions and methods to clean this unit to confirm if repairable or not. Thanks!
Thank you. Very well composed video and done in such a way that doesn't require any major technical prowess.
Dear Viandant5, even it's a few years ago I found it at the right time. This video solved my problem as well. Thank you so much. Great work.
These printers are getting very old, but the drums are still available, as they were used in a later model. The transfer belts may not be worth the cost of replacing. The waste toner collector may be the next limit after that. If nothing else, this video shows how easy it is to check the belt before spending money on anything else.
Thank you! Reassemblng / cleaning TBU of my CLP310 removed yellow toner splashes! There is a note inside service manual "There is no user serviceable parts inside TBU". I gues this is mentioned because of planned obsolescence of electronic devices...
Dopo 7 anni ho sistemato la stampante grazie amico
To remove the fuser correctly you have to remove the side panel and disconnect the two cables before attempting to release it from the printer. Doing it the way as in the video can cause damage to those cables.

Can you make a diagnosis ? I wanted to guess it is the IS the heating unit something that can be replaced.
I think the probem could be the drum unit. The fuser unit usually don't give this type of problem
Thanks, would have been nice if Samsung put this in the user manual.
Thanks a lot: my CLP325 had a paper jam in the heating unit - now it works again.
yea, that thing jams a lot. I hate this printer. Got it cheap though, but it was cheap for a reason.
Grazie mille per la guida dettagliata! Purtroppo anche dopo la pulizia del transfer unit e del drum kit il problema del cosiddetto "gosthing" non si è risolto: nella stessa pagina le immagini e le linee dell'inizio si ripetono sullo sfondo più in basso, o nella pagina successiva... Secondo te vale la pena comprare un drum kit e un transfer unit nuovo?
purtroppo la pulizia non sempre risolve il problema. il più probabile "colpevole" è il tamburo, che va cambiato dopo un certo numero di copie

thanks for the help! I guess its the fusor, is it worth replacing this or buying the another printer for example the CLP-365W/see is around 160€.....
Wich rollers? fuser roller? the clicking noise may be not related to the fuser rpller, but to gears or a roller bushing. try cleaning and lubricate the gears with grease. To change rollers you have to dismantle the fuser unit

I have in the past fixed other issues but I don't know what is causing this so don't know which video to look at for potential repair. Any suggestions? I would be so grateful if you have any thoughts on this.
Hi could you put on a video on how to un clog a brand new Black toner which seems is clogged for a Samsung CLP-610ND. It is still 96% full. I have replaced the transfer belt but the toner is clogged. Can you please help!
What do you mean toner clogged? do you have blanck prints?
It's not possible to disconnect the fuser. You may try to change its position, putting the fuser on a side with all its connectors and cables, but if the sheet don't reach the fuser, you'll have a printer error so you can print only an object then you have to restart the printer. Also keep in mind that without the heat of the fuser the image will not fix over the metal sheetm so you'll have a metal with simple toner powder over it
First check the USB cable or plug the USB cable on another computer's port.
if it doens't works the problem comes from the fuser.
Switch off the printer, and after 5 minutes switch on.
If the error is still here, the fuser must be replaced.
Hope it helps
Is the transfer belt for the 320/325 & 310/315 the same?

they are similar but non interchangeable
it may a gear tooth broken in the fuser unit, but it's difficult to find it. Samsung only sell the fuser unit, so you have to buy the whole unit. also give a look to the drum gear in the drum unit.
The red light is on (the one with the arrows) on one of my customer's printer. Will changing the drum unit CLT-R409/SEE fix this?
I have the CLP 415nw, which was great until we got a paper jam inside the fuser unit. Some of the paper is still stuck inside the unit, so no paper can feed. Can the fuser unit be dismantled to clear it, or is this a case of buy the new part and dump the 2 month old paper trap?
Yes, but probably it's not necessary to dismantle the fuser to remove a piece of paper
viandant5

My wife has done it for the second time printing a full page photo.
I'm worried because I've just bought a new drum unit and finally after getting it to print again; although it had few smears and I was about to clean it.
Now the plastic bar on top of the fuser is broke; I'm worried that I may have to buy a new one, which is hard to find. Let alone that it would have been wiser to buy a new one, even though I haven't used it that much.
I have the CLP 310 and a mac computer since day one even after installing all the drivers smart panels the software has never shown the "Details" of printer supplies levels or errors etc. It prints fine or has printed fine. I been getting black horizontal black smudges RANDOMLY across the page and sometimes on one sheet no smudges at all. I never have got a error that the waste tank is full but I am thinking it may be full as I have never emptied it before and have 2000 sheets printed so far I believe. I am thinking I have not got the waste tank full warning because the software on the mac has never really worked or communicated well with the mac. Making the waste tank full may be the reason I am getting a dirty transfer belt? How can I tell if the Waste tank is full where is the FULL mark looking on the thank? Mine has the lower section full yet the upper thinner part of intake of tank is just dusty not full. How can I tell when the tank is full if I am not getting tank full warning? Also is this warning on the software visually on computer or something on the Printer itself? Thanks for anyone who can help me. Thanks ahead of time.
I think it's not a waste toner tank full. I would try to clean the transfer belt with isopropyl alcohol, or may be the black toner cartridge is defective
viandant5 hey I like to thank you for such a quick response! Awesome in this day and age. Also I think you may be correct as last night I emptied the waste tank and even through I have never ever emptied of before and I have gone through 3 black toner cartridges already and the machine is 4 years old it was not really full which surprises me considering I never emptied it . I learned how to dissemble and clean the belt and it looked in good condition. The test sheet says the belt still have 65% left on its life. I have only printed 1965 sheets on a 10,000 print life of machine it says. So I believe you are correct when you said it is the toner cartridge. It is a replacement "Generic brand" cartridge and that blade above the toner roller on cartridge looks like it's been opened and reclosed and glued back in place. Which to me is a bit Mickey Mouse in recycled work of the cartridge. The thing is you can't get the original Samsung replacement cartridges anymore so I am forced to buy the generic brands. After cleaning everything it prints ok on the first sheet then 2nd sheet has the horizontal streaks about 1/2 inch thick and slightly smudgy sometimes not all times but sometimes. So I think the blade on toner cartridge is letting to toner on the belt maybe? So I am going to give a different brand of toner cartridge a try to see if that fixes it. Let me know what you think. I like to learn to fix things and it has been a headache for me but I learned how to take the machine apart and how it works now. I tip my hat to guys like you that learn to fix things
Hi, I have a solid red light on my samsung laserprinter CLP-325. Do you think following this video would help? Thank you
Try watch on printer properties, there should be an error message
hello how are you a consultation I have a problem with my laser printer c410w. When I print something, it stains my page. then disarm it and clean it. I also cleaned the image tube but what I do not know if I did well to discard all the black powder that contains the container of the image tube. When I did all that, I put it to work and the tube got stuck. I think something held it or the dust worked like a lubricator, I think. or nose that could be the problem I hope your answer thanks greetings.
@viandant5 I changed the fuser and transfer belt unit as the printer started giving message to replace them. Even after replacing with new ones, the samsung printer application still gives me message to replace fuser and drum. Wonder if there is a way to reset the counters ?
the drum has a fuse but it's difficult to find and replace. I'don't know any method to reset the transfer belt counter .try update firmware, it's strange that with a new original drum and belt don't cancel the error message.
If the fuser and transfer belt came from a 'NEW UNUSED' printer, this can be the cause of the non-reset of the fuser or transfer counters. Often the 'ship with printer' units have no counter chip of their own, and the PRINTER assumes that when its own pagecount reaches the 'life' count of the fuser, transfer (or other consumables), that these items must be replaced.
Genuine REPLACEMENT items have their own counter chip, or reset fuse (depending on the printer manufacturer). So if it's another original item from a 'new' or low count printer, this may not t have the ability to reset the counter for that item.
This is also true of the 'starter' toner cartridges in many printers.
how do you replace the rollers? My printer keeps making this awful clicking noise in the top roller area. Any suggestions?
Hey, thanks for the video. My printer is making uneven colour, in regular cloudy stripes across the page. Can't figure it out. do you think it might be the drum or the transfer belt? any help appreciated!
It depends on the distance of the stripes, are they vertical or horizontal? Probably the drum. Look at the drum if you see some defect
Seems to be Half the diameter of the Charge rod. The lines go down the page so across the paper left to right if you look at it as a letter Strangely I saw that the foam roller next to the charge rod was lighter and darker this seemed to correspond with the light and dark streaks cross the page. But I can't understand what effect the foam roller would have
Sorry, I am the same person as asked the question above. Z
may be the drum or the primary charge roller has a defect. I think the problem is the drum
Hello Viandant5, I have a Samsung Laser Printer C460FW ... Could you kindly show how I could change the Presser Roller on how to take it out, and replace it with a new one? I didn't want to go to the repair shop because it's going to cost me around $150 to get it replaced not including parts. Thanks in advance!
+Angelica Soh it's complicated, it's difficult to explain. I think I'll do a video but in the next month
Thank you very much. You're awesome :)
I really appreciate. it
The noise keeps coming from a feeder on the top portion of the unit. Coincidentally, the page being printed skips as it comes out so the print is choppy and shows horizontal smudges. Does this help? How can I fix it?
Hi. I have this machine (CLP-315) and have ghosting. Would taking it apart and cleaning it like this work? I've just bought a brand new drum, and it didn't make any difference. The ghosting seems to be a ghost of the entire page prior. I have heaps of toner and don't want to just chuck it away.
do you change the toners? I think cleaning the transfer belt will not solve the problem
Yes. I've changed the toner and the drum. It just started doing it suddenly.
I have the same problem. I have changed the drum and toner and cleaned the transfer belt. I also opened it up like he said to try to wipe down the fuser / orange part. Nothing seems to help. I also have horizontal lines across the first page. Wild Bee, did you ever find a solution? (I too do not want to just chuck it away since I have toner and already invested all the $ and time into it.)
Oh yeah, I also have CLP 315.
which is the distance of the horizontal line? are they repetitive?
Thank You I fixed my printer from Paper Jam and Also cleaned up the Head so it prints Well. Thank You Sir :)
It's a generic error message. I would first install the smart panel application on your PC. it will translate the red led in a clear failure description. It may be a defective fuser. It may also be something as simple as the waste toner needing to be emptied
Hello Viandant5, I haven't used this exact printer for 1 year. i only used it for 3 months. now, it is dusty, I have new toners just in case. now, it is dusty with toner color inside the waste toner and the belt kind of dirty. what suggestions you make to start using this printer again. I tested now, it prints dirty page with lines. reply
+Christian Yepez vertical lines? verify if the lines are on the drum too. in this case, probably the wiper blade of the drum is damaged. you can clean the belt unit with isopropyl alcohol. do not use air compressed, or the dust may dirty the laser scanner unit
+viandant5 not really vertical lines, just toner powder stains, really light light when printing. I am cleaning what you show in this video? Imaging scanner unit, should I clean it too?
+viandant5 also, the waste toner is almost empty,. Okay?. Or how do I fill it up?
+Christian Yepez it's not a problem if the waste toner container is empty. the problem related to a laser scanner unit dirty are white vertical lines. so the problem is a grey background all around the page? I can't see the machine so I0m not sure but IO think you have to change the black toner cartridge. the drum may be the problem too.
+viandant5 hello, here is some printing samples www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B08GDdyTv1ZV5Z what you think it is?
do I need to remove the transfer belt to remove the fuser?
Yes, remove it
Nice video
you can find a fuser around 100 $. it would be worth but it's not so sure the problem is only the fuser.
probably it's better to buy another printer. CLP 365W is a great printer
Спасибо!!! Очень помогло!
i've got a CLP-315 and it's been printing just fine. However recetly it wants to print vertical stripes. Just today i changed the printer settings to Greyscale and the lines pretty much disappeared! They return when i change the settings back to Color however. What do you think i should do? i've already order a drum replacement. This drum has at least 10,000 sheets on it.
BTW, your video is very professional! Thanks and have a great day! :)
+Frederick Frazelle do you see a vertical line on the drum? vertical lines may also resulting from a defective color cartridge
+viandant5 , thank you very much for helping. Since pics are worth 1,000 words, here's one in Greyscale...

If you need, i can also get you one in color - the Mexican seal is in full color.
Have a great day! :)
Edit> i took out the drum and it had some very light black powder spots on it. i cleaned it with a clean cloth, replaced everything and printed again in Greyscale. A perfect page. The drum did not have any vertical lines on it. Maybe it's not the drum but something else. Photo here of 1st page in color...
s2.postimg.org/3n9g9waux/freds_1st_color_photo.jpg
+Frederick Frazelle verify if there are lines on the drum. if the drum is clean, probably the fault is of the black toner cartridge
Thanl you! you are right, samsung clp310 is a great printer
I think this is what you are referring to....
do a search on TH-cam for "Creating Printing Plates with Laser Toner - Part 1"
Hi . I've reset the Samsung printer cartridge recharging white paper gives out what is the reason?
the cartridge prints only blank pages? probably there is some bad contact inside the cartridge
i need to replace the fuser -- this video only goes half way on that. how do the wires for the fuser (dis)connect?
Vadim Oganesyan there are some plugs, disconnect them. make attention, they are easy to break
viandant5 thanks, i already did it. I was having a hard time pulling the side panel off, once that was done the plugs etc were easy. thanks again for your video!
Good night!! I need some help!! How did you pull the side panel off?? Thanks.
Hi!! How can I pull the side panel off?
There are hooks, once you have removed the rear panel and its screws
Hello I cleaned the drum and when I printed a test text page, the paper seems to have fused to the fuser? do you know what could have caused that and can it be fixed or do I need a new fuser? Thanks!
+David Munoz I dont' know which printer do you have, but if the fuser unit is damaged, you have to change or repair it
Very good instructions!
Ciao io ho una clx 3185 fn che ha circa 8000 pagine stampate in totale e da pochi giorni mi da errore cinghia trasferimento, la ho tirata giù e pulita etc, visivamente sembra tutto a posto e la stampante si comporta in maniera normale senza rumori strani, ma all accensione dopo il riscaldamento segnala subito errore cinghia, avendo anche una clp 325 che monta gli stessi pezzi, provando a invertire i 2 nastri la clx 3185 funziona mentre la clp 325 da errore, evidentemente è proprio la cinghia ma è possibile abbia un sensore guasto o altro al suo interno? Grazie
how do you remove the side panel, I need a video to show you how to do that I have a Samsung clp-315
here you can find some instructions:

viandant5 uu
I am having a problem where the prints come out smudged with some horizontal lines, and there are 2 arrows that are being printed in all pages - even if the files I try to print are different. Can you help me with this problem?
the arrows are always in the same position? If not look at the drum unit, it could be a drum defect. the horizontal lines are always at the same distance?
You know how to reset the transfer belt of clp 510 ? keyboard you can reset everything except the belt
+Alex Crem no, I don't know any reset method for this item
do you need to empty the waste toner cassette?
You can empty it if full, make attention to wash it so there is no toner on the laser sensor path and there is a counter, after a certain number of copies you have to change it
How do I clean samsung clx 4195 fn scanner glass bottom surface?
I've no video on this argoument, if I remember well you have to remove two screws on the back and now you can lift up the scanner unit but to remove the cable of the scanner it 's necessary to dismantle the printer
What can you do when the green light won't connect and the red LED light comes on? Diane
do you check the Smart Panel? right click on the blue S in your system tray near the clock and select SmartPanel from the list. it may be a problem wit a cartridge chip
Thanks, it really helps.
Thank you!
Can anyone tell me how I can remove the fuser roller from a Samsung CLX 3305FN. It is totally rolled up with paper and I can't pull it off and don't want to damage the fuser. I can't see how to remove the whole top like in this video, Thanks
Thank you it is very nice video
Thanks for the help. It works
ooooooooooooooo
thank
I did all of this and I’m still getting streaks and lines. What do I do?
This video is not about streaks and lines. Check the toner cartridge too
Thanks
Hi I have a CLP620ND printer running Falcher does not take an operation
what do you mean? it does not work at all? did you installed the printer driver?
When I print the picture it is deep red. I can make out the picture barely. How can i fix this? Thank you in advance.
probably you have some defective toner cartridge
Ok thanx
I can't put back in the transfer belt after taking out 😭😭
yes
A drama full of other printers I tested a complete print
And I realized that the problem of the drum. But all the drama faulty connections no problem
What's the problem?
THX
if the problem is the drum, using a tester verify the contact between the drum and surface of the drum. Search in this channel "toner cartridge troubleshooting guide"
viandant5 The disadvantage of the connection between the drum and the drum sticks
tanks man
I mean the glass tube is in the compartment of the torners
the glass tube is the laser scanner?
I think so
By chance do you know what is called the powder that lubricates the drum unit of the printer?
@@fernandosilguero403 you can use zinc stearate, but the toner powder works almost the same
@@viandant5 thank you very much for your response greetings from Argentina
Thanks so much!
Anybody could explain how to solve my problem : printer prints horizontal lines of each colors. One on the first 1/3 of the page, one in the botom. I mean its 2 times 4 lines ....
+FlyingPatrick95 the drum has a defect, a little nick. Probably you need to change it.
ciao
ho una clp 310 da qualche giorno quando stampo 2 pagine sulla seconda si ripete(sbiadita) la prima pagina... cosa può essere?
di solito sono i fusori, ma spesso anche una delle cartucce toner in esaurimento può dare questo problema.
Thanks !!
Me sale el triangulo rojo parpadeando en mi impresora y no me deja hacer nada 😨😪
It's a general error, check if there are other indications in the printer folder
I can do : Epson Printer reset
canon Printer reset
Samsung Printer reset
Samsung printer toner life has ended the tips or hints toner cartridge is not compatible need to clear brush machine.
Now my computer doesn't recognize my printer. No big deal. 15 legal documents to print for signing. grrr What's going on? The printer starts to cycle and quits. I get a message to see the troubleshooting guide.
I think the problem is not the belt or the fusers. the problem is the printer driver or the connection or give a look to the printer folder.
says my printer is off line. I went through the trouble shooting guide and installed new drivers. Still nothing. I've turned the printer off and back on. I've done the same with my computer. I have a green light on the printer but no "network" blue light.
Think this is the fix for Samsung printers......th-cam.com/video/kKAjay0iWwI/w-d-xo.html
I think the problem is the PC, not the printer. which printer do ou have? are you sure it wotks with your operative system?
I thought my router was bad so I replaced it. My printer has worked with my PC for years. Suddenly, my printer is 'offline' and I'm not savvy enough to figure this deal out. I have a Samsung CLP-315W.
❤❤❤😂😂😂
The worst printer i´ve ever had.
You're right, they are horrid.
Nn)
Thank you it is very nice video
