Refilling the Samsung 4200 cartridge causes certain difficulties due to the fact that its manufacturer does not provide for such a procedure - the cartridge is disposable. Nevertheless, the opportunity to refill such a cartridge still exists.
Instructions
Step 1
The cartridge of the Samsung 4200 printer contains a chip that controls its operation. After the information that the cartridge is empty is written into the chip, refilling it will do nothing - even if there is toner, it will not work. In this situation, there are two ways out: buy a new chip, it costs about 150 rubles, or assemble a programmer for flashing an old chip.
Step 2
Technically, the first option is much simpler, although it may be difficult to find a chip. The second is more difficult, but at the same time you get the opportunity to refill the cartridge as many times as you like, up to its complete wear. Details for the programmer will cost you the same 150 rubles. Anyone with the skills to work with a soldering iron can assemble it, all the work can take you a couple of evenings. A properly assembled programmer starts working immediately and does not need to be configured.
Step 3
Refilling the Samsung 4200 cartridge is not particularly difficult. Remove the cartridge from the printer, locate the gear on the drum unit. You need the opposite side of it. Unscrew the two black screws on the side cover and remove it. Remove the five black screws on the top cover of the cartridge. There are two latches on the back and front of the cartridge. Press on them with a screwdriver and open the cartridge.
Step 4
Remove all old toner, even if there is still a lot of it. In this type of cartridges there is no compartment for garbage, the waste toner during operation again falls into the hopper with good toner, bringing with it fluff from the paper, dust, etc. Remember that the drum unit cannot withstand strong light. Therefore, do not expose it to light for more than two minutes or cover it with a black cloth.
Step 5
Remove the black plastic filler plug and set it aside. Replace the old chip with a new one (or flash it) and insert it into the cartridge. Reassemble all parts, lock the latches, screw in the five black screws. Add one hundred grams of Samsung 4200 or 1210 toner through the filling hole, close the cap. Replace the side cover. Refueling completed.
