Phantom paper jam . Samsung clp300. Flashing red light

Check the waster toner cartridge. The previous owner ditched their clp300 on FREECYCLE (which is a marvelous thing)because they did not find this solution. Apparently the "paper jam" indicator can also indicate a slew of other anomalies:

-The printer is experiencing an error, such as jammed paper, open cover, empty paper, not installated [sic] waste toner container, or ***full waste toner container.***
-The printer is experiencing a service required error, such as LSU error, fuser error, or ITB error. Contact your sales or service representative.


The Waste toner cartridge is largish "L" shaped gray thing to the left of the toner cylinders. The manual says to replace it which is what i did. you may be able to simply dump it out in the trash, but you must wipe off the lenses on it before you re-install.

I don't have the manual and the red light is on. Is that the toner needing replacing and how do I do it?

Here are the things that a steady red light may indicate (from the Owner's Manual):

led-erroron17.jpg A paper jam has occurred. To solve the problem, see "Clearing Jams in the Paper Tray". The front cover is open. Close the front cover. The top cover is open. Close the top cover. The paper tray is empty. Load paper in the tray. See "Loading Paper". A toner cartridge is not installed. Install a toner cartridge. See "Installing the Starter Toner Cartridge".
• A paper jam has occurred. Check the paper tray area.
• The front cover is open. Close the front cover.
• The top cover is open. Close the top cover.
• The paper tray is empty. Load paper in the tray.
• A toner cartridge is not installed. Install a toner cartridge.

The top light of the two is flashing green/red back and forth very fast and the light on the bottom is a solid red. how do I fix this so that way it will work normally

The steady lower light indicates the unit needs a new toner cartridge, MLT-D108S. Did you previously see this light blinking or blinking rapidly? (Those indicate the toner being low.) Replace the cartridge and check for any other error lights. Turn off the machine and let it cool. Then open the front cover and pull the old toner cartridge. Open the package with the new cartridge, remove the packing tape and paper that protects the cartridge and gently shake it (avoid touching the blue or green parts of the OPC drum). Press the cartridge into the slot until it is fully seated. Close the front cover.

The green/red blinking power light is not one I'm seen before. The printer indicates a non-toner failure (open cover, no paper, LSU failure, etc.) with a steady red light.

It doesnt print anything. the status light is red. i dont know whats wrong

A red Status light means 'paper jam'. A red light corresponding to one or more of the toner cartridges means empty cartridge. A flashing red light corresponding to one or more toner cartridges means low toner.

Flashing red light - no paper jam

I had this problem and couldn't figure out until I opened the front, pulled out the toner cartridge and found a paper jam.  Removed it and now I have the green light.

Doesn't print

You may need to empty the excess toner bottle, it's in the front, to the left side.
