Samsung CLP-500 cutting off print

When duplexing with this printer, about 1" of print on the right side of the 2nd side of the page is cut off. Non-duplexed pages and the front side of duplexed pages are fine. Once in a while the top line of print on the 2nd side will also be "scrunched" vertically. The duplexer has been replaced. Additionally, getting continuous "replace cyan toner" message, but all colors print ok. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I have this same problem, but it's not always duplex printing. And not specific to color or black/white printing... And it's not always consistent. I could be printing 6 pages, 4 could have the right 1" cut off and the remaining 2 pages could print fine... HELP!

Re Replace toner message.

Do an information print (MENU, ENTER, ENTER)
This will tell you the pagecount of the various units of the printer

Imaging Unit (Drum)
Transfer Belt (ITB)
Transfer roller
Fuser
Toner Cartridges

etc

The counter for the Cyan toner will simlpy indicate that this is near, at, or over the 'capacity' for this cartridge.

There are
1.5k colour and 2k black 'starter' cartridges
2k colour and 3k black 'standard' cartridges
and
5k colour and 7k black 'high capacity' cartridges.

NOTE even if you only have a single dot of (say) cyan on a page, the counter for that colour will be increased by 1 when that page is printed. 'Empty' cartridges are often far from empty in reality, ans there is no toner sensor, just the counter, which is reset when you install a new cartridge.

The missing print on one side of the reverse side of duplex printed pages is quie a puzzle, as the duplexer simply turns the paper over and presents it to the transferbelt and transfer roller for the second side.

Check the transfer roller is in place properly (open the duplex door - black foam roller A4 width with purple plastic tab on one end black on the other).

Is the duplex door fitted correctly, does it close correctly ?

I have a pc and a macbook pro. I can duplex print on the pc but cannot seem to duplex print on the mac using word 2011. How do you duplex print using a mac and printing with a Samsung CLP 510 EMAIL

To print duplex on a Mac:
1. After finishing your document, go to File >> Print. You will see something like the following:tcdb28.png
2. Make sure that Layout is selected: tcdb28_0.png 3. Under two-sided, make sure than Long-edged binding (or something similar) is turned on. tcdb28_1.png

This will allow you to print duplex (two sided) on the Mac.

Printer cuts off 1'' off print on the right side of paper all the time. It doesn't matter what our margin settings are. What could be the problem?

Print a test page by holding down the UPPER LEVEL button for 2 seconds.
If this test page prints fine it may be a driver issue.
If the test page has the right side cut off as well then something is blocking the laser on that side of the printer. Most likely place is something around the drum cartridge area. If you are familiar with the printer and this cartridge you can try removing it and checking this area for a scrap of paper or something blocking the laser light from reaching the drum.

Samsung CLP-500 output problems

i have found that removing the toners, and shaking them side to side, while keeping them horizontal, which seems to spread the toner for even distribution. This can sometimes fix the problems with fading prints. hope it helps.
Margins i think might be a problem with the wysiwyg of the program, some don't do it well, but also excel in particular has a shrink to fit page option, you may find the percentage not at 100%. you can also copy an excel table to word and print from that if it is driving you nuts.

CLP-500 is printing only on left side of paper

You'll need to look at

Drum Unit - these can go beyond their rated life

Transfer Belt - these can fail suddenly and dramatically, often quite soon after their rated life is reached.

Also check Transfer Roller (open the duplexer door to see this - grey (black when new) foam roller about 25mm diameter purple plastic tabs on ends (1 may be black). This is critical to good quality prints, as it maintains the contact between paper and Transfer Belt AND electrostatically pulls the toner off the Transfer Belt onto the paper.
