How to Reset Samsung CLP-320 – Before you continue with the reprogramming of the firmware, please make sure that the device is installed on your computer. – It is very important that under no circumstances should you remove the chip from the cartridge while reprogramming the firmware. After you have succesfully reprogrammed the printer, remove the chip from the cartridge and store it somewhere safely (the chip – a key). In all cartridges which you are going to use in the printer, the chip has to be either removed or sealed. If you have accidently inserted a new cartridge without removing the chip, the device will be blocked. In order to unblock it, you can use the stored chip as a key which help you to unblock the printer.
– And make sure that any other devices (except mouse and keyboard), which are connected to your computer via USB or LPT ports are disconnected. It’s preferable that the computer is connected to the “UPS” (uninterruptible power source) device, because if during the reprogramming process the electricity source has any interruptions, then the reprogramming will be carried out with an error, which makes the device unable to work. – This firmware will be installed directly to your printer. Before opening firmare make sure that printer is turned on and connected to your computer and printer drivers are installed correctly. – Be aware that with the reprogramming of the firmware the manufacturer’s warranty goes lost!!
Connect the printer to the computer by usb cable and turn it on 2. Wait until the printer is ready for work 3. Drag and drop.hd to usbprns2.exe 4.
The reprogramming process starts automatically 5. Wait until the printer reprograms (5 – 10 minute) and restarts 6. After that the reprogramming process is finished, use tapes to cover toner chip and restart the printer Firmware Samsung CLP-320: $12 USD Your browser does not support JavaScript!

Please fill request field Samsung CLP-320 toner cartridge/toner chip review: – Samsung CLP-320’s cartridge is enclosed with a toner chip that was used to calculate toner coverage and to deliver bold or light printout quality depending on printer original printout design. – Samsung CLP-320 toner chip contains calculated limitation that was managed by Samsung manufacturer. Following Samsung, if toner coverage is 5%, Samsung CLP-320 toner chip is delivered 1.000 – 1.500 pages.
– If toner coverage is higher than 5% - Toner Page Yields are less than “1.000 – 1.500″ pages. If toner coverage is lower than 5%, Toner Page Yields are “1.000 – 1.500″ pages. That is the reason why bold printouts (high toner coverage) will make printer run out of toner quickly. – When Samsung CLP-320 toner chip overload its calculated limitation, printer will be locked inspire of high toner cartridge. When Samsung CLP-320 needs to clear page counter limit: – Samsung CLP-320 printer’s messages: red light or red light(with Monochrome function printer) blinking(with Multifunction printer), imprinting.
– Computer’s messages: Toner low, install new toner cartridge, toner life end, replace new toner cartridge, toner empty, toner exhausted Fix Samsung CLP-320 with above errors: 1. Change new Samsung CLP-320 toner cartridge: – Samsung CLP-320’s toner cartridge (Samsung CLT-C407S, CLT-M407S, CLT-Y407S, CLT-K407S) costs 30$ – 35$ depending on its supplier and manufacturer. – Changing toner cartridge seems to be suboptimal because when printer runs out of toner, we also need to change new toner cartridge = money wasting. Change new Samsung CLP-320 toner chip: – Samsung CLP-320’s toner chip costs 6$ – 10$ depending on its supplier. – Changing toner chips seems to be more optimal but when printer runs out of toner, we also need to change new toner chip. Clear Page Counter Samsung CLP-320 by using firmware: – Samsung CLP-320’s reset software costs $12 USD = money saving – Reset software automatically impacts to printer firmware so printer ignores paper counter. Therefore, there is not necessary to change toner chip, you just refill toner when it runs out.

Hey guys, I found something funny. Recently my introductory cartridge got exhausted and then i got on to this forum. 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. 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 SCX4300V1.13Factromdl.hd'. If no error occurs you will find file 'FIXSCX4300V1.13Factromdl.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 FIXSCX4300V1.13Factromdl.hd' to start download. During download printer displays: Data receiving Flash erasing Flash Programming Checksumming Download Ok then printer will restart.
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. 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.
To VXR10 and Alutov; I've extracted the files by using 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 SCX4300V1.13Factromdl.hd' so I can not find file 'FIXSCX4300V1.13Factromdl.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? To VXR10 and Alutov; I've extracted the files by using then I've entered the step and come to TECH mode, activated download by 'Menu Data Setup Flash Upgrade Local OK' on the machine.

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 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? I agree with doruahab, nothing shows up when I try to drag fix4300.exe. Alutov and VXR10 says 'SCX4300V1.13Factromdl.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.
Use bat files instead of command line interface. Patch both for 1.13/1.16 versions and corresponding.bat files you may find via russian link(startcopy.ru): Original firmwares links: (1.13) (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.
In User mode: go 10.Maintenance Clear Setting All Setting OK. To Alutov, Pc says 'program cannot be recognized' for the patched.bat files for 1.13/1.16 versions. 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:(.
I've just posted a new article on startcopy: 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). 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. Dear Alutov, Yes, I am facing the problem after unsuccessfull insertion as the electricity went off when i was updating my printer firmware.
Samsung Clp 300 User Manual
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.
If you have problem about samsung SCX-4300 printer at first reset it by software. Which is a comand based software open the software then Type fix SCX4300 then press Enter.
After when the process compleated it will reset. Then it will work until you print 2200 copies print. After that it will shows Toner Exusted Replace toner message on printer's display. It' solution is go to Printer's menu and There you will display Clear count function.
By this function you will clear count your printer. If you have any problem you will contact me at: Laptop Solution Putalisadak, Kathmandu, Nepal Phone: +9129 Mobile: +9615 Shikhar Joshi Service Engineer - Anonymous. 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: (1.16). Patch both for it and corresponding.16.bat files link: 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. 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.
P.S in that 'report page' the line saying 'toner remaining' is 0%. Is that normal? 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 fixscx4300v1.13factromdl.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. 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.
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. Hi All, I have read through the above post a number of times and Im fairly sure Im doing everything I should be, but I cant get it to work. I have the printer in Tech mode, and have selected flash upgrade.
The printer LCD now says 'Data Receiving' When I try to use usbprns2.exe to upload the fixscx4300v1.13factromdl.hd file I get: 'Downloading. Download Complete!! Downsize (982984) Downloading.' But the printer display does not change and does not seem to download anything?? Can anyone help me out? 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. 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. 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. Drag the SCX4300V1.18Factromdl.hd file and Drop down on the fix4300.exe, then will apear FIXSCX4300V1.18Factromdl.hd Then go in TECH MODE after pressing sequence: get in menu 'DATA SETUP', find there 'FLASH UPGRADE' After confirming in LOCAL drag the FIXSCX4300V1.18Factromdl.hd file and Drop down on the usbprn2.exe.

I have a problem with flashing scx4300 with fw 1.18, and with the printer itself 1. The message 'scanner error' and red led is on top 2. When i mak flashing with sc2 sw, for fw 1.18 in cmd always downloading. Appears and on the printer 'data receiving' but nothing else happens, what iswrong?? I did it like you told in this thread, first file scxv1.18. On fix4300.exe, than fixscx4300v1.18.
Drop on usbprns2.exe after making sequ on printer and go in flash mode, but nothing happens after the above written status messages.?!?:-( pls help AND what`s up with the message 'scanner error', anybody else solved this problem?? Download firmware v1.16 and fix from alutov's post (8/27/09 8:35 AM) (scx4300fw116.rar and scx4300sc1.zip) 2. Extract all files in the same folder. In this example we use 'c: samsung' 3.
Run cmd, change to folder with downloaded files. (Start = Execute = type 'cmd'. Then in the black window, type 'c:', then type 'cd samsung') 4.
Type in cmd: 'fix4300.exe SCX4300V1.16Factromdl.hd' (now the file 'FIXSCX4300V1.16Factromdl.hd' is created) 5. Set printer to Tech mode (on printer buttons quickly press 'MENU' 'COPY' ' 'MENU' ') 6. Set printer to recieve firmware (Press on printer buttons: 'MENU', go to 'Data Setup', then 'Flash upgrade', then 'Local') 7. Type in cmd: 'usbprns2.exe FIXSCX4300V1.16Factromdl.hd', then wait for completion. On the printer, again in Tech mode, go to 'Data setup', then 'Clear Count', then 'Clear all CNT' For each time it says 'Toner empty' you can repeat step 8, so you can print until the cartridge is empty FOR REAL. Thanks alutov and fck you samsung.
First On your Printer Than Go to Above side from internet and download winrar file of samsung scx4300fw113.rar File make sure u have winrar Software. Unfortunetly I only did the following: 1) Connect PC and printer with USB cable. 2) Turn on the power of printer.(Ready Status) 3)Then go in TECH MODE after pressing sequence: 4)get in menu 'DATA SETUP', find there 'FLASH UPGRADE' 6)After confirming in LOCAL drag the f/w file and Drop down on the usbprn2.exe. And then f/w update will be started automatically. 7)Please wait until end reboot. 8)when flashing ends get going into TECH and DATA SETUP there perform CLEAR ALL CNT - that's all! I didnt know first I have to fix the SCX4300V1.13Factromdl.hd to become FIXSCX4300V1.13Factromdl.hd and now my scanner ISNT working: SCANNER ERROR, or something similar but it did happen right after the patch was completed.
'CLEAR ALL CNT' is missing from the Tech Menu. If I flash again with the new FIXSCX4300V1.13Factromdl.hd is there a chance it will come back to normal and function again?

Hi: One of my printers (Samsung scx 4300) doesn´t work when I start it. The screen is full of Asterisks or Boxes and doesn´t work, no lights, no noices, nothing.
I ask you, can I get some reset method ussing keys combination or any way to restart firmware. Has, any of you, had this error? Una de mis impresoras (samsung scx 4300) no funciona cuando la enciendo. La pantalla esta llena de asteriscos o cuadraditos y no funciona.
No hay luces, ni ruido, ni nada. Pregunto: Puedo resetear la impresora usando algun metodo de combinacion de teclas para revivirla o restaurar el firmware?
Alguien a tenido este tipo de error? Thanks - Gracias. Hi GUys, Our printer broke down over the week-end scx4300. It says always warm up, yellow light then we wait and then nothing.
We brought it to samsung repair who said mother board is broken and need to replace for P4,900 ($110). I think were getting duped as we only bought this printer for P4,400 ($100) in aug 5, 2009, a little over 18 months! The worst part is we just bought a new toner cartridge for P3,200 last week ($80) and now its a fricking 'we've been had' situation. Do any of you guys have a solution w/out replacing the MOBO? Hi, I have version 1.23fix of the firmware and my scx4300 report it correctly ('1.23fix' and not '1.23'). Engine version is 1.01.29 After I do the 'Clear all CNT' procedure, the 'Toner empty' error is still here, the led is still red and the printer still does not print. When i try to print something, I just got a 'Pc printing suspended' on the printer LCD and then 'toner empty, substitute toner'.
Clearing all the settings from the normal menu (not in TECH MODE) does not work too. Why and how can I solve this? Maybe do I need to upgade to 1.25? Does someone have it? I cannnot downgrade to any version prior to 1.23.
The printer just get stuck in the process. Please help me.
@w506191201: I have the original bundled toner. I have not substituted the toner, so it should not have a chip (?) referring to the previous answers.
BTW when I opened the toner to refill it there was actually a chip in the up right corner, but when I removed it the printer does not recognized the toner at all and a 'no toner' apperead in the LCD. I had to reinsert the chip to make the printer recognize the toner. So it is not the chip you are referring to in this discussion (?). And if it is, can you point me to instructions on how to do what you said? To all people that have the 1.13 Firmware and haven't managed to create the FIXSCX4300V1.13Factromdl.hd file: For some reason it won't work to drag SCX4300V1.13Factromdl.hd onto fix4300.exe. The FIXSCX4300V1.13Factromdl.hd won't be created with that procedure. Nevertheless, the files aren't corrupt, they're OK.
Create the file via Command Line: - open 'start' then 'run': Type in 'cmd.exe' - the command line window opens. change directory to the directory your unzipped firmware-files are. For example for changing drive C to F type in 'F:'.
For changing directory type in 'cd directory-name)' for example 'cd FIX4300'. It might be useful to rename the folders with windows to simple names. Now type in:'fix4300.exe SCX4300V1.13Factromdl.hd' DON'T FORGET THE SPACE CHARACTER.
Pressing enter there should appear a text like. Samsung SCX4300 firmware v1.13 fix program. And some short hints how to proceed. If you look now in the folder, there should appear the FIXSCX4300V1.13Factromdl.hd file. Now proceed as Alutov explained above (waaaaayyyy above).
Thanks alot Alutov!!! Hi, Have had mx700 for 1-1/2 to 2yrs. Use it a lot. Use refilled cartridges from LD ink (if you know better place let me know). They have worked great for long time. Black ran low, I replaced and cartridge did not print black at all.
OK, changed out 2 more (total of 3 cartridges) and no black printout at all. I did deep cleaning 3x in row and still no luck.
Unplugged and re-plugged printer and no luck. I’m unemployed in bad times financially and wonder if there is a way someone knows for sure what to do with this thing – have loved the printer – and willing to try taking it apart if I have to alone, what have I got to loose at this point? I’m more handy than most, but not the queen of tech either – just midway I believe to rate myself. Is there a manual with screen shots to show me step by step? Please advise ideas which way to go.

The Samsung CLP-300 is the smallest and least expensive color laser printer we've seen. The CLP-300 version (nonnetworked) costs only $250, while the networked version (CLP-300N) will set you back an additional $100.
Unfortunately, you sometimes get what you pay for, and what you get here is a basic printer that produces neither the fast nor the high-quality prints you'd expect from a laser printer. If you need speedy, top-notch prints, spend an additional $50 (over the price of the CLP-300N) for the. But if you're short on space and you have a tight budget and only basic printing needs, the Samsung CLP-300 is a decent bet.
Design The Samsung CLP-300 is remarkably small for a color laser printer, owing to a unique toner configuration, which we'll get to later. The printer sits 15.4 inches wide, 13.5 inches tall, and 10.4 inches deep, and it weighs a mere 30 pounds. The input tray does jut out a bit from the front, but overall, the printer's footprint is about as compact as you'll find among laser printers.
Paper handling is rudimentary on this small- and home-office-oriented printer. A single 150-sheet paper tray pulls out from the front and can hold a variety of paper sizes, from small 3x5 cards to legal-size sheets (the tray expands to hold the longer sheets). If you want to manually feed single sheets, you can flip open the translucent plastic cover at the front of the tray and insert pages one at a time (you'll have to unload any paper in the tray first). The well in the top of the printer serves as the output tray, and a flap folds out to corral long sheets. You can't expand the paper handling, but the setup should suffice for small offices.
The control panel on this printer is basically nonexistent, limited to just a cancel button and four color LEDs that let you know when toner levels are getting low. Any changes to the printer setup can be made through your PC, using the Samsung Smart Panel that's installed when you set up the printer. Features Both the Samsung CLP-300 and the CLP-300N ship with a 300MHz processor, but the CLP-300 features only 32MB of memory to the CLP-300N's 64MB. Neither is upgradable. The CLP-300 offers only a USB 2.0 connection, while the CLP-300N also throws in a 10/100 Ethernet connector for networked printing. One of the reasons the Samsung CLP-300 is so small is its unique toner cartridge setup. Most color laser printers use toner cartridges that include the image drum.
Samsung separates the drum from the toner, resulting in small toner 'canisters' that measure about 3.5 inches long and 2.25 inches in diameter (the black canister is slightly larger). The four toner canisters-cyan, magenta, yellow, and black-plug into the front of the single drum, behind the cover panel, saving both space and money, as the drum will outlast the toner canisters. We like this setup because it makes changing toner a simpler task and produces less physical waste. Performance Given the low price point of the Samsung CLP-300, we weren't terribly surprised by its slow print speeds. It printed black text at a respectable 13.49ppm, but it was slow at black graphics, pushing out just 3.68ppm.
Color text and color graphics prints were slow, too: 3.77ppm and 3.71ppm, respectively. The models closest in price that we've reviewed are the Lexmark C500n and the Oki C3400n (both are $400, as compared to the CLP-300N model, which costs $350) and both posted much faster numbers across the board.
