20 Most Recent Samsung CLP-500 Laser Printer - Page 2 Questions & Answers

The "waste tank" is located behind the front panel that has the SAMSUNG name on it. Press on the upper corners of this panel and it will open up to reveal a clear plastic tank on the right side.

This tank pulls out easily and has two holes for excess toner to flow into it.

Look at the side of the tank that has the holes. You should see a part of the tank that extends out from the tank but ends in a clear square. The waste tank sensor "looks" thru this clear plastic square to determine if the tank is full. I.e. if toner is in this area and you cannot clearly see thru both sides, the sensor will tell the printer that the tank is full and needs to be changed.

If the tank is not full, use a long cotton swab and clean out the inside of this area. Once you can see thru both sides, carefully replace the tank back into the printer and turn the printer back on.

If done properly, the error should go away and you should be able to continue printing. I have doen this and it works fine.

(Some posts have had people cut this part of the tank off and simply tape over the hole that is made with strong tape. This bypasses the sensor and would allow the printer to run again. I have not done this as I do not want the possibility of toner spilling in my office.)

Exception:

The sensor could be bad and causing the issue. If this is the case, it may be cheaper to purchase a new printer - CLP-620 ND is a duplex, networked color laser jet that is selling from frys.com for $315.

Change Transfer belt.

Try this one:

If the printer gives you an error message after you have installed the chip like “incorrect toner” or “invalid toner” or any other error message, then you need to SWITCH OFF the printer, wait a few seconds, then switch it back ON and hold down the MENU button while you are powering it back on.
If your printer will only allow you to print in black only mode, then go to your printer settings, click on PROPERTIES and then restore to printer defaults.

Hope that helps........

Hi there

Please try to add new printer with the same printer name because maybe the printer driver gets corrupted. Then if print the test page without paper jammed. Then it solves your problem.

Precision Roller has them at precisionroller.com
Here is the link to the part. They have pretty much everything for this printer and I use them on a regular basis. They are my favarite copier/printer parts vendor.

If you open the side door you will find a clear container - it is this that the machine says is full. You can clean it out and thoroughly wash and dry it to get it working again. There is a small lever inside the inlet to this container that needs to be pushed in to reset the system.

Hello and Welcome to FixYa!
It is a bit difficult for a newbie to remove a paper jam, but if it is difficult for you today and you don't want to make it way, it will remain a difficult task for you forever. So you have to do it yourself.
Yes, a textual guidance will be difficult for you to understand, I found this video. It will be a spot on solution for your query. Do tell me how was that, and if you will have any question/problem don't forget this platform; FixYa
Concerned, Nooh

try using another cartridge. 

Sounds like you may have wet toner, or was once wet toner. Ive worked on printers for years and I have actually found a few cartridges that had bad toner. Kind of like getting sugar or flower wet.
Also. sometimes the imaging unit won't charge the roller properly or the roller gets worn (I.E. Static Charge holds the toner to the drum until it is applied by the imaging unit)
So if you've replaced the imaging unit, then it almost has to be the toner itself or the toner drum. They are both part of the cartridge and the problem should go away if you replace the cartridge.

Good luck

Hi! This may mean a legal paper type. Try to check the paper type on the label. If the paper is not correct it wont feed. Hope this helps and have a good one!
