Well, eventually I worked it out: The "contacts" are four square fields to the left on on the backside of the cartridge. And it works instantly. (I read somewhere that it needs to be fully transparent tape. The 'blurry' tape leads electricity and doesn't work.)

On some of those printers You can place a piece of transparent tape over the contact on the pribter cartridge. This sometime works.. Good luck..

    I am sorry but English isn't my native ******, so I need to get clarified this answer. (I hope someone can help me - fast! Thanx.)
    Is Steve talking about the TONER CARTRIDGE or something else?
    Where exactly is this contact located and how does it look?

    Thank you very much

    On both sides of the toner cartridge are contacts.. Cover both with transparent tape. I hope this will help..

  • Anonymous Jun 10, 2012

    I really feel stupid here! I don't seem to be able to establish what 'contact' means and how it looks. Could anyone please explain to me where the contacts are located?:
    1. On the ends of the cartridge?
    If yes: Are they small round holes with a screw inside? Or what is it?
    2. Front and rear? No that doesn't really make sense, does it?
    3. Top and bottom? Then where and what might it be?

    I am utterly confused. Thanx in advance for your help.
    Best

open the cover and now remove the waist toner container (you say it is empty) check the conection to the drum unit sometimes if the waist toner is verry full there is a pille of toner closing this connection, now clean it and all the sorounding from the toner and mount the waist container back in his possition, close the front cover and try, it should work now.

My SAMSUNG CLX-3175 says toner empty. But how do I know which one to replace??????

I'm going to assume that there's a letter next to the message on the display about the toner being out because I have a Samsung color laser printer and it gives the same message.
C = Cyan (Blue) M = Magenta (Red/Pink) Y = Yellow K= Black
Other than that, got to your printer control menu on your computer and find the status menu. It will tell you what's out.

The printer has a build up of toner on the drum/fuser, a maintenance cleaning done by certified technician of the printer would fix this problem.

What toner does the clx 3175 take. Does it use a chip as well - which one?

Takes CLP 310
To use Toner refill you need a chip that solder to the main board. search Ebay for reset chip for CLX-3175
run around $40.

My clx-3175 wont print black and white when color toner is empty???

All of the manufacturers do the same thing to get people to buy their toners, if any toner is empty you don't get to print even black. Sometimes empty toner can scratch a drum so that's the excuse they use for making them that way.
