Removing a error message on a samsung CLX MFDevice

The machine currently states to "prepare to replace the image unit" and I want to get rid of this message (as we have to power down and then up again every time we print). [The machine will stop working completely when it really needs the image unit replaced!]

Kindly take out the imaging unit out of the printer and take out and put it properly.

If this did not fix you may try using the imaging unit from other printer.

Re: Samsung Printer CLX3175FN -- receiving message "Replace imaging unit soon." I've read other expert replies but am still missing some information. Can I replace the unit myself? How do I do...

Nancy, Your imaging unit has a limited lifecycle. Documentation states that it can make 24,000 B&W pages and 6,000 color. The message is telling you that you are getting close to that limit. Eventually you printer will stop printing, and your messahe will state "Replace imaging unit". This can be done by you. It is very easy to do. The imaging unit is fairly expensive: around $150 or more depending on the merchant and shipping charges.

Samsung CLX-3160FN prints and copies fine but can't scan

This may be obvious, but there's a "scanner lock" on this machine. It ships locked, and you need to unlock it when you receive it. Look up under where the paper comes out when you print, and on the left there's a little green switch. Make sure it's pulled towards you (you can see it also through the glass on the scanner bed).
