How to Reset Samsung Printer Toner Cartridges with Firmware Fix

If you have a Samsung printer that uses toner cartridges, you may have encountered the problem of the printer displaying a toner error message or refusing to print when the toner is not actually empty. This is because the printer has an internal counter that tracks how much toner is left in the cartridge, and sometimes this counter does not match the actual toner level. To solve this problem, you can reset the toner counter with a firmware fix that will allow you to use the toner until it is really empty.

A firmware fix is a software program that changes the basic software (firmware) of the internal memory of the printer. By installing a firmware fix, you can make the printer ignore the toner counter and print without interruption. However, you need to be careful when choosing and installing a firmware fix, as it may affect the warranty and performance of your printer. You also need to know some information about your printer model, serial number, CRUM series and firmware version before applying a firmware fix.

In this article, we will show you how to find this information and how to install a firmware fix for Samsung printers that use toner cartridges. This method works for Samsung printers SCX 3400 / 3401 / 3405 / 3406 / 3407 / W series.

Step 1: Print the configuration and supplies information reports

To find out your printer model, serial number, CRUM series and firmware version, you need to print two reports from your printer: the configuration report and the supplies information report. To do this, follow these steps:

Turn on your printer and make sure it is connected to your computer.

Press and hold the STOP/CLEAR button on your printer for about 4-5 seconds until the LED flashes once then release it.

The printer will print the configuration report which shows your printer model, serial number and firmware version.

Press and hold the STOP/CLEAR button again for approximately 15 seconds until the LED stays green, then release it.

The printer will print the supplies information report which shows your CRUM series.

If your printer does not allow you to print these reports because the toner is at 0%, you can try this alternative method:

Turn on your printer and make sure it is connected to your computer.

Type the following key combination on your keyboard: TECH MODE +(plus) +(plus) STOPâ(minus) â(minus) STOP STOP

The printer screen will display UC.

Press + until AA displays on the printer screen then press START START

The printer will print both reports.

Step 2: Download and install a firmware fix

Once you have printed the reports, you need to find a firmware fix that matches your printer model, serial number, CRUM series and firmware version. You can search online for websites that offer firmware fixes for Samsung printers, such as this one[^1^]. Make sure you read the instructions carefully and download the correct file for your printer.

To install a firmware fix, follow these steps:

Run the firmware fix program on your computer.

Select your printer model from the list and click OK.

The program will ask you to enter your serial number, CRUM series and firmware version. Type them exactly as they appear on the reports you printed in step 1.

The program will start updating your printer firmware. Do not turn off your printer or computer during this process.

When the update is complete, the program will show a message saying \"Firmware update successful\". Click OK.

Turn off your printer and wait for 10 seconds. Then turn it on again.
