How to change the toner cartridge on samsung laser monochrome printers

The amount of time a toner cartridge can be used on our computers depends entirely on what you print with it. Once a toner cartridge is empty, you will either need to refill it or buy a new one, so you must know how to remove and install toner cartridges.

In this post, we’ll try to explain how to remove and place a toner cartridge on samsung laser monochrome printers in the easiest way possible.

You must keep in mind that, even if toner cartridges are programmed to print a certain amount of pages, this will depend on how dense the pages are. For example, if you make the toner print several images, its lifespan won’t be as long and you will need to change it soon. The toner cartridge could even print a smaller amount of pages than the one it says it yields.

A bulb will always go off on laser printers when the toner cartridge has ran out. The most convenient things to do is to change it entirely. If you continue to use the cartridge after this bulb starts blinking, you could make your printer suffer.

In order to replace a toner cartridge, we recommend you work with extra precaution since the edges of the cartridge and the product itself could be at a temperature that damages our skin. As you may already know, the printing process where the toner or dust are set on paper is caused by heat, which can make the temperature of your printer rise and, like we mentioned earlier, harm your skin. We recommend you stick to the following procedure all the time.

Procedure for changing the toner cartridge in a samsung laser monochrome printer:

Step #1:

First, disconnect your printer. This will keep any electrical feed from reaching your body, so we recommend you disconnect the printer’s power cable. We also suggest you let the printer rest for about 2 minutes before plugging the power cable back into it.

Step #2:
You will now need to to touch the frontal gate where you can reach the toner cartridge from. Normally, you could access this area by pulling on the cover in front of us. Please take a look at the following picture.

Step #3:
Then, extract the brand new toner cartridge from it’s packaging, and remove the protective paper from the cylinder. The cylinder is the green part of the toner, which you must avoid touching with your own hands, since this can end up staining your paper sheets.

Remember to pull on the toner’s ribbon. This is a very important steps, since all toner cartridges have this ribbon which you must remove. If you leave it on the cartridge, your pages will have blurry stains on the sides. You must remove it entirely to keep it from tearing inside the toner cartridge. If you need any help with this, contact us and post a comment in the section below this post.

Step #4:
Shake the toner up before putting it inside the printer; this is necessary, but it’s not really mandatory. Doing this will help the toner dust spread inside the cartridge, and it will also contribute to making it adhere to the magnetic roller for proper printing. Please take a look at the following picture.

What to do if you get a bit of toner dust on your clothes or skin?

First of all, let me assure you there is nothing wrong with this, that it’s perfectly normal and that you only need to put some water on the place it landed on to keep it from sticking to it. If it landed on a piece of clothing, wash it with cold water, since hot water will make the toner dust set even more into the fabric.

Please keep the toner dust away from sunlight, since this can damage the toner cylinder or the photoconductor. Now please take a look at the next picture.

Step #5:
Put the toner cartridge on the slots located inside the printer, which is exactly where the toner cartridge should fit into. Now place the cartridge and start using it. If you have any problems with it, contact us through a comment in the section below this post.

Step #6:
Close the frontal gate where the toner goes and print at est sheets using this cartridge.
