Printer making loud clicking/clunking sounds

If you look into the paper output of the printer you find a green lever. Pull it to the front. Open scanner lid and check the position of the lever.
Restart printer by switching off and on again.

Try this, Susie: Check to be sure all four toner cartridges are pushed all the way in. If not, the little gears don't quite mesh properly and cause that loud click. On mine, the black cartridge needed an extra bump with the side of a fist to get it to go in that last half a millimetre. After that the clicking stopped.

Hope this helps. Scott

Are you sure you install scanner driver? may be you install only printer driver.

There should be a lock icon either on the side of your scanner or underneath the bed look for it and make sure its unlocked.

Check the toner cartridge make sure it is all the way in. Also full out all those toner cartridges and check the gear that rotates when you print see if there is no broken teeth. This happens on mine too.

I went through the same thing! It drove me nuts, and I even calls CS, which is great by the way. The sweet girl on the other line couldn't figure it out, but I finally Googled it.
In the opening where the printed pages come out, if you put your hand in there, on the top left is a lever.
This is the scanner lock. Once you flip the lever and hit the stop/clear button, it should be all better. At least that is what worked for me!

turn off, remove the cartridge and turn back on, do you hear the noise? if no then it's the cartridge

hope this helps

Same problem thanks for ignoring guys!

Every Samsung multifunctional device has a scanner lock underneath the glass. This is to prevent scanner damage during shipment. Th user's manual in the CD and the unpacking sheet clearly illustrate where this lock is. If you open the top lid and look to the lower left corner of the glass, you will see a small lock-open/lock-closed symbol. Underneath that symbol you will find the lock. I'm including a small visual reference of a similar model. Just remember to turn off and on the unit after the lock is removed.
