Printer suddenly stuck while starting up

Dear
Pl. check the error on smart panel, which is available at program window(Click on START .> ALL PROGRAM > SAMSUNG CLP 300 SERIES > SMART PANEL.) give print comand, it will pop up the erro detail.
Thanks and Happy new year.

You need to take it a couple steps further after your test print. Sounds like your print heads need cleaning or your cartridge may need aligning. It's best to do this each time you install a new cartridge. get more information and help from here .

have you checked the toner.

Install a smart panel on PC and see the error on the PC screen.

change toner

your printer toner is not installed properly. pls shake the toner & fix again.

Hello,

There is an update for your printer. This is a firmware update. A firmware update, rewrites code located on the printer's main system board. The latest update is dated 10/17/08.

Flashing firmware does not have a go back element or undo, so it is really important that we verify your model and what seiries of printer you have. I suspect you have a CLP-300 Series printer and that the 310 of the 300 just describes some features added or left off and even who you purchased it from, in many cases.

Please look at these two photos and then post the data off the name plate for your model number in particular.



You will notice there are two lines to include in your reply.
1.) The Model: (first line)
2.) M/C entry (second to last entry in this photo of the label.

Once you verify this and I post the firmware update link for you, you will need to follow the instructions I include below.

Regards,
Worldvet

My CLP 300N part of page doesn't print, I am afraid the imaging unit is bad but it has not been used that much

If I have to cancel something I hold down the orange button until the printer is completely silent. If I am desperate I just turn it off. It has always worked for me - not sure if it is the right way to do things or not :)

Open all the covers and close all of them , See any changes if not remove the toner cartridges and see any paper jam in the tray or else. If nothing works out see any sensor is broken physically and update me.
