Hello people! I already know the way printer can be reset: It needs solder out 48-pins chip (29LV800), get out dump (4300) and then dump in the firmware from the scx-4200, and short-circuit R121 resistor on the circuit board.
OR you can change whole formatter board scx-4300 on the one from scx-4200 (JÑ92-02112A\JC92-01762A)and short-circuit R121 resistor on the circuit board too
In Russia & Ukraine many people already fixed own 4300 printers by this program without problem. I hope this fix will be usefull in this forum. With best regards Alutov - the author of this fix.
See archive above posted by VXR10. Unpack, then type fix4300.exe SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd and see response... Printer must not have chip during reset procedure.
Hello. What do you mean when you say "Printer must not have chip during reset procedure"? I must disarm my printer to remove the chip from it? I hope you can help me. Thanks.
I'm sorry for my english... You must remove chip from cartridge. And we don't verify stable downloading 1.13fix over 1.16. Be carefull. If flash programming aborted in any reason you may get damaged device and you need solder out and progamming flash by external programmer as explained above by VXR10.
Thanks a lot alutov. But the cartridge doesn't have a chip or is the chip inside? I was reading that the first samsung cartridge has no chip. Is it right?
Yes, it is 1.13. I can print the report without problem but i can not print from the PC neither copy or start button. I don't know what is wrong. Thank for help me. I hope the printer works soon.
It must be "1.13fix" not "1.13"! Let's start again. To solve problem you need to download PATCHED by scx4300.exe 1.13 firmware where additional reset procedure was implemented in. To patch firmware you need to unpack archive in any folder then open commad line interface go to this folder then type "fix4300.exe SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd". If no error occurs you will find file "FIX_SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd". It's a patched firmware. The next step is to download this file to printer. Enter TECH mode, activate download by "Menu > Data Setup > Flash Upgrade > Local [OK]" then type in command line "usbprns2.exe FIX_SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd" to start download. During download printer displays: Data receiving > Flash erasing > Flash Programming > Checksumming > Download Ok then printer will restart. It's all. To reset all counters and unblock printer enter Tech mode go Data Setup > Clear counters. In this menu you will find "Clear All CNT" instead of "Total Page CNT". Choose "Clear All CNT" then press [OK]. Printer will display "warming up" and LED will yellow for seconds then change to green. After reset all counters in report will be zero and toner 100%. You may repeat this procedure as soon as you need.
Yes, You will find version with reset from user menu and now I'm testing 1.16fix. It is working on my printer. I'm not a serviceman, only SCX-4300 user who knows assembler a little... I have one negative reply, when someone attempts to download 1.13fix over 1.16. My reason on this forum to explain how to fix printer (PR-company ;)).
hello, people i need help. I have this same printer, but i dont have data setup in menu. i downloaded all stuff you said, but cant get my printer into flash mode.
hello, people i need help. I have this same printer, but i dont have data setup in menu. i downloaded all stuff you said, but cant get my printer into flash mode. Please help me soon or send me all new files n step also how to do it... Thank you
THANKS to VXR10 and Alutov, I upgrde my SCX 4300 V1.12 to V1.13 successfully as discribe Mr VXR10 and alutov in the forum. But the Copier fuction is not working , when i press thr START botten the SCANNER does not Scan the Original and the paper comes out totally WHITE, Is this the problem of my printer or the Fix V1.13,Plesae i need help. Can I run this firmware on SCX 4200 Which Shows ERROR TONER EMPTY, Please also tell me for which models of SAMSUNG i can Run this firmware V 1.13 and v 1.16. THANKS a lot. Good luck
then I've entered the step and come to TECH mode, activated download by "Menu > Data Setup > Flash Upgrade > Local [OK]" on the machine. But I can not open the firmware "fix4300.exe SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd" so I can not find file "FIX_SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd".You say It's a patched firmware but I can not open it on my computer. Do you think the firmware is not compatible with my computer? That's why I can't download this file to printer. If this will be OK ,what's gonna my next step?

Hi Oscarif, I'm using a PC with XP Professioanl 2002 version with Service pack2. I'm trying to open the zip files of fix4300.exe and usbprns2.exe after. As much as I realize it's trying to extract the files and it says "processing" but it ends up without completing the operation. And I'm sure if it extracts these firmware files it'll be ok.
Thx.
Samsung SCX -4300 firmware version by doruahab (edited 5/9/09 1:07 AM) reply
Hi there, I have no pb downloading the firware on my printer or getting in TECH mode. Still, the message CLEAR ALL COUNT does not appear on my printer's screen. Everything worked exactly how Alutov described, except the part where TOTAL PAGE COUNT should be replaced by CLEAR ALL COUNT. I mean it shows Total Page CNT and when i press ok, it just says Clearing and thats it.No restart whatsoever or change in Led light. Did i do smth wrong there? Its a first cartridge so no chip problem. Should i use other version of firmware such as 1.16? If so, where do I get it from? Many thanks
Re: Samsung SCX -4300 firmware version by jack71 (5/9/09 3:16 AM) reply
I extracted the files from http://rapidshare.de/files/46696684/scx4300fw113.rar.html and just dragged and dropped SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd on usbprns2 executable after i pressed LOCAL [OK] during the flash upgrade//U must be in TECH mode to do that. A Run command window will appear and the printer screen will start writing some messages Data receiving > Flash erasing > Flash Programming > Checksumming > Download Ok, thats it. Hope it helped and plz tell me if u managed to clear all count.
The problem, as you can see is that the file you download is bad, I think you must download the file again and try to unzip it.
Doruahab
First you must drag and drop SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd on fix4300.exe, it generate a new file "FIX_SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd", this file should be dropped on usbprns2.exe when the printer is receiving data status.
Ok, I tried to do drag and drop SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd on fix4300.exe but nothing happens, just a small flash of the C:\ window. i downloaded the archive again and still the same result. I cannot find the "FIX_SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd" file. I even entered "fix4300.exe SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd" in the command line.Im not a computer genius but I do realise i am doing smth wrong, so plz tell me what I do wrong
HEY FOLKS, WELL I'M NEW AND ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PRINTER, IT'S RIGHT WHAT DORUAHAB SAYS, POP A WINDOWS AND THEN IT CLOSE IT AUTOMATICALLY :P I'M THINKIN' IN SLAM THIS PRINTER WITH A HAMMER :(
I agree with doruahab, nothing shows up when I try to drag fix4300.exe . Alutov and VXR10 says "SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd" must be dropped but it only pops a window and it closes automaticly.Printer tries to receive data but it can't... These guys must give us another link where fix4300.exe and usbprns2.exe easily opens up or send us a hammer :) I think we do sth wrong with these patched firmware files.
Come on Alutov & VXR10 ;you say everybody in Russia&Ukraine solved this problem so pls. help us as well..
Patch both for 1.13/1.16 versions and corresponding *.bat files you may find via russian link(startcopy.ru): _http://www.startcopy.ru/repair/files/scx4300_sc1.zip
Original firmwares links: _http://www.startcopy.ru/repair/files/scx4300fw113.zip (1.13) _http://www.startcopy.ru/repair/files/scx4300fw116.rar (1.16).
To reset all counters and unblock printer now you have choice: 1. In Tech mode: go Data Setup > Clear counters. In this menu you will find "Clear All CNT " instead of "Total Page CNT". Choose "Clear All CNT" then press [OK]. 2. in User mode: go 10 .Maintenance > Clear Setting > All Setting [OK]
Pc says "program cannot be recognized" for the patched .bat files for 1.13/1.16 versions . Sorry. Only "fix4300j.exe" zip file is tryin to be opened but I don't know what to type onto whether user or service menu and onto "source file","destination file "...
By the way I used the firmwares by using startcopy.ru but I faced with the same problem.
I wonder if do sth wrong or our pc worths nothing for opening these files. I can't open .exe files,I can't open .bat files either.. On the other hand there's nth wrong with the printer for TECH menu but I can't send any datas to the printer :(
That is the main problem.When I try to run fix13.bat or fix16.bat it says "fix.4300.exe is not recognized as interior or outer command ,runnable program or total work file then "pause 0" ....
As soon as I can open them,I'll probably run the other files..
Hi alutov ! I can not find "Clear All CNT" in TECH Mode although I Upgradeted Complete Firmware version 1.16. I check in System Data List the Toner remanining : 0% . Please help me ! thanks Alutov .
I try to make a short translation. Sorry for my english. If firmware upgrade abort in any reason (for example as result of power off device or fault during programming) printer gets into inoperable state. During power on after unsuccessful programming printer displays "Download From PC" and USB is not working and no any responds on any key. Traditional way to "alive" printer from this state is to solder out ROM from printer and program on external programmer or change a formatter board . In this article I describe another way without ROM soldering. As you know printer's ROM consists from 3 parts: the main replaceable firmware, data area and the loader. Loader code contains loading and verifying procedures. loader has a simple monitor also. During power up the loader first displays on DEBUG interface (debug console see below):
=================================================================== Press any key to execute Monitor Program within 1 sec..(in Boot) ===================================================================
If you press any key at this moment printer calls a bult in monitor program. Then loader calculates main firmware checksum. If result is zero loader pass control to the main firmware. If result is non zero loader displays on printer's screen "Download From PC" and outputs to DEBUG interface:
<<> > There is no image in RAM. Download Start!!! Select port : 'u' [usb] 'p' [parallel]
Then loader waits for "u" or "p" from DEBUG interface only. That is why printer "hangs". And only when it gets "u" or "U" from DEBUG printer displays on screen "via USB" and switch on USB. Computer finds "Boot downloader" device and you may download firmware in a standart way but firmware must be without leading 4 bytes ("4300" in scx4300 firmwares). That's all. Let's talk about DEBUG interface. In a formatter board (main processor board) you can find a connector labelled "DEBUG". On my formatter board there is no connector just 4 holes for it but I hope in the other formatter connector may exist. It's a RS232 or computer COM port interface but 3.3 TTL level. The port pins layout is (if counted from processor) 3.3v > TxD > RxD > GND. You need RS232 +/- 12 volts to TTL 3.3 volts converter to connect printer to computer serial COM port. There are many converter's circuits examples in Internet but I recommend to buy a mobile phone data cable for COM port. In my cause it's a Samsung C100 data cable. I prefer it because a simple reasseble connector. I just colder 3 wire to Samsung connector: GND, TxD, RxD. The GND wire is connected to pin 5 on 9-pinned RS232 computer connector. To find TxD I connect data cable to computer then start bult in windows HyperTerminal and perform connection with any parameters. then I press any key and find output wire by oscilloscope. It's a computer TxD will be connected via 400...1000 Ohm resistor (5 > 3.3v) to DEBUG RxD. Then I try to connect computer TxD to any other pin untill you see output echo on HyperTerminal. It's computer RxD will be connected to DEBUG TxD. Connect GNG first then RdD and TxD on power of printer. Be careful when you connect to DEBUG - connector wires direct to processor! After connection start HyperTerminal then set following connection parameters: 115200 8 N 1 without flow control. Activate connection then power on printer. If all OK you will see on terminal screen: =================================================================== Press any key to execute Monitor Program within 1 sec..(in Boot) =================================================================== <<> > There is no image in RAM. Download Start!!! Select port : 'u' [usb] 'p' [parallel]
Enter "u" in Hyper Terminal then start firmware download as describe above.
A few words about bult in monitor. You may call by entering any key during printer power up:
START-UP MODE : Monitor Program Boot into pROBE+ like stand-alone mode [Type 'help' to see command info.] Version : B0.30 12-01-2003 by Keetaek Kim ---------------------------------------------------------------- Do you want to download via parallel port?[N] : n [I enter 'N' here] pROBE+>
All values are hexadecimal. I don't test all command. As I know dm - display memory, go - pass control. For example GO 10000 - start main firmware. On my opinion the main useful command is "flash". When you enter this command printer go to a load firmware state as described above.
All picture you can see at startcopy. Best regards. Lutov Andrey
If you have no this problem just download standart or patched firmware in a standart way without any modification. And no HyperTerminal needed too. ------------------------------------------------------- If you see "PC to DRAM NG" checksum is not correct - maybe you download incompatible file. ------------------------------------------------------- I use bult in windows HyperTerminal for repair printer. And just delete first 4 bytes from standart firmware for repair.
Yes, I am facing the problem after unsuccessfull insertion as the electricity went off when i was updating my printer firmware. My printer is giving "Download from PC" message and no key of printer is working.
I have been through your post in startcopy before ur post in this site. I have maintained to build all the necessary hardware settings as u have suggested.
Now i m getting "PC to DRAM is NG" error when I m trying to upgrade the firmware as u have told above.
I just want to know how to delete 4 bytes i.e. "4300" from the firmware file. Which software i should use. Your Suggestion will greatly help me. Thanx
I have a m2bus/fbus cable for nokia 3310, it require COM2, but there is only one COM.does it matter?I don't have the oscilloscope, how to find out the TxD? 40..100 Ohm resistor means 40R 100V ?
For Anonymous. I think this repair procedure is for scx-4200 also. For iMStillAlive. You are welcome. For wke. I have no information about this data cable but hope it will be compatible. Connect cable to computer, activate terminal connection. On two out lines (TxD & RTS) in data cable you find 3-5 volts. Press for example space for a long time then find line where level falls.
VXR10, when using the 4200 main control board for SCX-4300,should short-circuit R121 on the 4200 main control board? if use 4300 its own main control board,but firmware for SCX-4200,should short-circuit R121 on the 4300 main control board? if i use 4300 main control board for scx-4200,what will happen?
i tried to do drag and drop SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd on fix4300.exe but nothing happens, just a small flash of the C:\ window. i downloaded the archive again and still the same result. I cannot find the "FIX_SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd" file.

Dear friends I'm from India, my Samsung SCX 4300 version is 3.04.52:04 the Toner is Exhausted is it possible to fix this printer with "scx4300fw113" fix? and is it necessary to remove the chipset permanently from the catridge or need to replace it after the fix? will it affect the copier function? if successful do we need to do this again after a particular number of prints? please reply... it'll be gr8 if somebody post an easy to use step by step procedure for "scx4300fw113" fix.
I don't know this version. Only 1.08, 1.09, 1.12, 1.13, 1.16. All this versions you can upgrade to 1.16fix. Press quickly Menu, Copy, Left, Right, Menu, Stop and see version on printer's screen. Original firmwares links: _http://www.startcopy.ru/repair/files/scx4300fw116.rar (1.16). Patch both for it and corresponding *16.bat files link: _http://www.startcopy.ru/repair/files/scx4300_sc1.zip. Unpack all in one any folder, run fix16.bat then activate printer program upgrading as described above and run download16.bat. You don't need chipset on cartridge at all. When your printer remind you to replace cartridge (usually after about 600-1000 pages depending on contents) just reset it. If chipset present on cartdidge reset will be unsuccessfull because printer read chipset first before it's internal variables.
Thanx! alutov and wke... wke was right that was the driver version firmware is 1.13
anyway it was the first catridge that came with the SCX-4300 and refilled once,when the total page counts reached 4504 the "Toner is Exhausted " and now the surprise is I just removed the chipset from catridge for resetting and the printer works normally without any fixing,patching or updating! why?
Dear Anku, The printer has inbuilt memory to print 1000 copies. it does not need chip. this is starter cartridge. as it says 1000 copies but after nearly about 2000 copies it will give message "toner exhausted" and u will have to insert new chip or go for solution provided by Alutov. hope it is clear
Hi Alutov, I use "fix4300.exe",find file"FIX_SCX4300_V1.13_Fact_romdl.hd",This file can be use for more 4300 printers?Without having to re-run "fix4300". thank you.
Ok, I've done the firmware upgrade and all went fine, I now have version 1.13fix
With starter cartridge works fine. But I have one question, what if I already had bought a new cartridge for SCX-4300 that came with a chip in it? That one is already exhausted and won't let me print. Should I just remove the chip from that "new" cartridge and it will let me print?
For Anonymous. I've tested all "Menu, Copy, Left, Right, Menu + any key" combinations. For sergioglez. Yes, just remove the chip from that cartridge. It will be a starter one.
I can't upgrade SCX-4200's fw through Debug interface. it's strange that no display and no act instead of "download from pc" . there should be some diffrence between 4200 and 4300 .
As I know 4300 and 4200 have some differences in a data area - range 4000h - 0ffffh. When you upgrade firmware by "DEBUG" from 4200 to 4300 this area not changed.
1.Verify that printer has a fixed firmware. Press quickly Menu, Copy, Left, Right, Menu, Stop and see version on printer's screen. Must be "1.13fix" or "1.16fix". 2.Remove chip from cartridge and repeat reset.
yes firmware is 1.13fix i checked but from report menu :) i covered chip hole with Scotch tape update was successful but LED again light red and write on display " Toner Exhausted Replace Toner". i filled cartridge whit toner.
I have a software of samsung scx-4300, hardware setting ml-1640, ml-2245 which makes page count zero and it works permenently without replacing new toner
Diffrence between 4200 and 4300,as VXR10 has said ,The R121 and firmware. On 4200's main board,R121 is a 10kR Chip Fixed Resistor;on 4300,R121 is a 0R Chip Fixed Resistor. so it is not easy but available you can change them to each other.
Dear Mr. ALUTOV, Thank you for your enormous help. you are really one of a kind. I did everything you said, and now I can see the firmware version on the printer screen is V1.16 and the second line displays V1.01.26 ok? but still have the msg toner exhausted etc.. My cartridge is from factory and was filled just once in a company here in town, they only filled it and returned to me the same cartridge, nothing was done in the printer, the cartridge works fine, and if I ask for printer to report data the page "System data List" is well printed. But I cant print anything else, I can print no more. Any help? P.S in that "report page" the line saying "toner remaining" is 0%. Is that normal? Thank you.

Hello folks, I finally figured out what happend, I never run the fix4300 over the FW file, so the firmware of my printer always V1.16 only and now I did with those bat files, and everithing is sweet. Thank you all specialy Mr. Alutov.
i have the solution 1. go to tech mode by menu copy left arrow right arrow menu right arrow 2. activate download by menu data setup flash upgrade local ok 3. drag and drop the fix_scx4300_v1.13_fact_romdl.hd on scx-4300\usbprns2.exe 4. printer displey data receiving flash erasing flash programning download ok 5. fix tisco tape on chip or remove chip (this stape is missing by all ) 6. reset all counter by tech mode clear counter clear all counter 7. restart the printer 8. now it is working properly red light is change into green it is tasted by me on 10 printers if any quastion send me mail
can any one know how to reset samsung scx 4500 printer for same problem as above & how to go in tech mode in scx 4500
1.Verify that printer has a fixed firmware. Press quickly Menu, Copy, Left, Right, Menu, Stop and see version on printer's screen. Must be "1.13fix" or "1.16fix". 2.Remove chip from cartridge and repeat reset.
2 sokhout If printer has fixed firmware and no chip in cartridge reset must be successful. 2 Anonymous your command line has an error or firmware file not found. Try to use bat files instead of command line verify all files unpaked from archive and present in the same folder.
Hi I recently purchased SCX 4300 & yesterday came to know about the chip problem when try to refill my starter cartrage. Well then i searched & found this site with excellent solution. Although i am still unclear to go forward because of few things. so Please help me in the steps below to do it sucessfuly. 1. I already checked the report & found that i have firware 1.13 Now do i need to update it to 1.16 then fix or should i fix it with 1.13fix 2. I get it that i should remove chip from cartage that would mean i have to reinsert the cartage without chip in printer? What i want to know is after fix should i reinsert the chip in cartage or no need of it in future? 3 if i need to reinsert first i should get it refilled then insert?
Although Steps shown above on this page are pretty clear But i would still likefor someone to right it step wise to be performed by me.
THANKS for so much of info & software fix i had totally lost hope & was about to buy chip which cot here around about 500 bucks which is a lot of money for me. PLEASE HELP URGENTLY vimal
1.You may upgrade your printer both versions of fixed firmware. I upgrade my firmware from 1.12 to 1.13 then 1.13fix then 1.16fix. 2.Yes, you reinsert the cartride without chip in printer. 3.For your choice, not critical. Do not power off printer during programming!
Dear Alutov can you help me to fix " samsung clp 315 new ver.1.01.11.08 we have problem to refill toner on this version can not use reset module on it. we have used to fix by ver.1.02.01.08 success . thk vis
Hi. Dear alutov, I would have two questions, please help: 1./ If I change the firmware on my printer from 1.12 to 1.13fix, I will lost the Guarantee. (Yet lasting about 13months more). So, if it needed, can I change it back to non-fixed one, namely v. 1.16? 2./ Can the firmware v. 1.16 be found officially somewhere? (Except for originated from this forum, because I have not found it at the Samsung Support.) Thanks, in advance!
You can return back to the original firmware without problem if you need (for example 1.13fix > 1.13 or 1.16fix > 1.16). But one of counters won't count after reset. I don't try to find why up to this day. About guarantee. In my country price of two cartriges is equal to a new printer. The best idea is to print up to 3000 copies then (or when guarantee lost) replace firmware by fixed one. I can't find firmware elsewhere except startcopy.ru.
Dear alutov, Thank you for your immediate, most helpful and clear cut answers. Just another (a last) question. How does affect the update of drivers ( Print, Scan and Smart Panel) in the future having been put on a fixed firmware? The present drivers are good for Win Xp (which I use) but, in a couple of years, I may need to change to win7, and than I will have to update them. Yours sincerely, Johnny999
The behavior of fixed firmware is completely exact as original one except reset possibility. Addition reset code have placed to debug text range in original firmware. But I know some complains when scanner does not work properly after reset of blocked printer. In this cause just reinstall scan and/or printer drivers.
Dear Alutov, I put new firmware v1:13, reset Counters toner but still shows, toner, and further shows that the empty. whether it is a problem that is starting cartridge?
You don't need chip in cartridge at all. Also you don't need reflash firmware anymore. Just reset counters when you get LOW TONER or TONER EMPTY warnings from device.
I found something funny. recently my introductory cartridge got exhausted and then i got on to this forum. But.......... Rather than doing all those hardware resets, i just applied a strip of cello tape on some wires showing through slits on this first cartridge(Probably chip connectors to printer???.God Knows).
And then when I replaced it on to the printer.........Bang......the smart panel shows ink status as full. I then printed the system data report, and it also shows 100% ink remaining. I printed a few pages and dropped the remaining ink level to 98%. Then i removed the tape and replaced the cartridge..........oops..........it said the toner is empty. So I reaplied the tape and then restarted the machine. But this time the machine was smart enough, and the report showed that 98% ink was remaining. Probably it makes some memory for each cartridge. well I havent tried the firmware reset yet, coz the cartridge is working well for me. But I dont know for how long will it go.
Hey techies, I am a neurosurgeon and don't very well understand all these stuff. if you have any idea as to whats happening then please tell.
Idownload firmware from rapidshare.but how to download to printer? if i open fix4300.exe file command line opens and suddenly disappears and don't know how to go in to tech mode? in my printer there is no copy button only copies botton is there please give me detail report.
please help me my scx-4300 series E has error toner exhausted is the solution in this forum can fix this problem? where can i find the tech mode? and how to execute the .exe file in the file that i downloaded? i just double click it then nothing happens.. what should i do to fix this?.. thank for response..
you have to enter the Command line and put there the two files, usbprns2.exe and FIX_SCX4300_V1.16_Fact_romdl.hd. you also need to open a folder and put there these two files. then you write the path to the folder and at the end these two files with space between them Before enter you must put your printer on Tech mode, receiving data

I have the program of scx-4200 but it is a different system. In the logic card it uses the 29LV800 FLASHROM. The EEPROM goes in the chip of toner. Of all ways is good to have the program bin of PonyProg for scx-4300 and to see how the memory of the logical card can be recorded. Greetings.
VXR10 touches to the subject line arrives and explains of very brief form like resetear changing to the FLASHROM of scx-4300 and scx-4200 but i have some doubts. He writes the following thing:
Hello people! I aready know the way printer can be reset: It needs solder out 48-pins chip (29LV800), get out dump (4300) and then dump in fw frow the scx-4200, and short-circuit R121 resistor on the circuit board.
OR you can change whole formatter board scx-4300 on the one from scx-4200 (J�92-02112A\JC92-01762A)and short-circuit R121 resistor on the circuit board too
i don't know how to remove toner chip. can you please give me description. if i have remove toner chip then upgrade firmware and clear all counter. does i have to replace toner chip or remove forever.
i was installed fixed this firmware a lot of scx-4300, it is good solution. this fix is making a menu for the printer. clear all cnt. if select this menu the red lights turn the green lights. but one scx-4300, i was select clear all cnt, but dont turn the green ligths, printer says toner empy. what is wrong? other scx-4300 working properly. what is the wrong this scx-4300?
you have told something about the first toner that bundle with new printer. it have no chip inside. since it doesn't have chip can i use your solutions.
have i must buy new toner that come with chip?.
i interesting in Version 1.18 and go to download now.
Even you have starter cartridge you must verify if chip present in it. As I know in some countries printer has a chip in a first cartridge. You must remove chip from cartridge before you flash fixed printer firmware otherwise you can't reset counters. You don't need chip in cartridge at all after firmware upgrade. Do not power off printer during flashing before flash completes! The best idea to connect printer to power UPS before flashing firmware.
i open the cartridge and don't saw any chip. do i should seek where it is?. i see in u-tube the chip is like a memory chip right. if it have no chip. can i use your solution right now.
Find four holes in the rear side of cartridge. If you see a small board with four connectors present in theese holes - chip present. Just remove this board from cartridge. For all: IF YOU DON'T SEE GREEN LED AFTER RESET ON FIXED FIRMWARE (if you see "1.13fix" or "1.16fix" or "1.18fix" in report, see orange LED during reset procedure, "Clear All CNT" present in "TECH/Data Setup" menu) AND "CRU PRINTS" COUNTER IN REPORT HAS NON ZERO VALUE VERIFY AND REMOVE CHIP FROM CARTRIDGE.
I have update the firmware 1,13, 1,18 and 1,20 of satisfactory way with 1.13fix and until the moment I have not had any problem. Being the same hardware the one that provides with accomodations the program does not have because to have problems.Superior versions in the firmware correct defects this is something that we must consider . On the other hand I have the Ponyprog program for the EEPROM that brings with the SCX-4200 if somebody it someone needs it I put it . I am going to prove 1.18fix and I put the results. Also I am going to experience so much with the chip of the cartridge like with the flash memory of the logical card. Greetings.
I recently(this year)purchased an scx4300. I was properly informed that the included toner would only yeild about 300 pages. At around 300pages it reported toner exhausted replace toner. I went to the store to get a new toner only to return it at once when it printed a dirty page. It was replace after being tested on a newly displayed unit. Everything went fine until it reported an exhausted toner at a print count of about 1,300pages, which includes the output of the initial toner. I was told to bring the unit for check-up. I rang up the service shop and was told that it would be more than a week just to check it up. With most of my kids in school, I should always have a printer ready. What supprises me is the very low page count as compared with their advertised 2,000 pages. Reloading would void my warranty. I disposed of my working HP 6p when I got my new samsung scx-4300 to save on space. Now I realize that purchasing the unit was my biggest mistake.
Hai alutov...firstly thankx for providing the firmware for scx 4300 printer. i bought a new printer and updated its firmware and applied scotch tape on its chip. now i can reset all the counters. Is ver1.18 better than ver 1.13 ?i have uploaded 1.13fix on my printer. i have a printing problem.... after making all the software settings, my printouts have less margin on left side than on the right side... i fear whether there is some alignment problem with the hardware(printer)....plz reply. thankx..
Hai EVERYONE and especially ALUTOV... I downloaded the ver 1.18 and after fixing it , i installed it on my SCX 4300 printer. But the scanner was giving problems while working with WINDOWS 7. So i again downloaded the ver 1.13 and now everything works fine with WINDOWS 7 as well as with WIN XP. Hence i recommend everyone to download the ver. 1.13. Bye n have a nice time.

Hi My samsung SCX-4300 scanner does not work properly. The scanner lamp must have white light, but only blue and green colors turn on, and when lamp arrives to LETTER sign, the red and blue colors turn on. Can anyone tell me about this problem? May have it failed on scanner controller chip?
Is necessary to send to technical service the equipment.Surely it is that it has a mechanical problem with the scanner. I have bought as 8 of these equipment and no have failed.
