Refill your Samsung SCX-4100 series cartridge
Before use, familiarise yourself with the safety data on age 4 & 5.
Take maximum care when using a screwdriver as a lever. Use recautions such as gloves and eye-
rotection to guard against injury due to accidental sli age.
Starter cartridge is different
When you buy a new machine, it arrives with a so-called “starter cartridge” that has a lot less toner
than the original cartridge you buy later. It also has a smaller toner com artment, so you can only
refill it with 30g of toner – about half of the amount that will fit into the bought Samsung cartridge.
How to spot the “fade-out point”
There’s no toner low signal from the machine. We were left to deduce that the cartridge was em ty
as the image started to fade out vertically down the age, which normally ha ened from the right
side of the age. Taking the cartridge out and shaking it at the first fade out allows about another 60
ages to be rinted before the fade out a ears again.
Vertical fade-out that can be cured by shaking the cartridge, but then returns shortly afterwards, is
the tell-tale sym tom of there being no toner left. If you want to be clinically recise, the weights of
the cartridges with no toner in are:
Starter cartridge em ty weight 621g Original cartridge em ty weight 676g

Starter cartridge refill
1. Make sure cartridge is at fade-out oint (see age 1,
aragra h 3)
2. Take out 5 screws.
3. At back, near handle, insert flat blade screwdriver between
two halves of cartridge.
4. Twist blade to free lugs,
lifting to half of cartridge
at same time. Lid of
cartridge will come off,
ex osing toner
com artment.
5. Screw s out onto bottle and wra sticky ta e around join of s out to ensure no leakage of toner.
6. Note worm gears at each end of a horizontal bar.
We’re aiming for a toner level that just covers those worm gears
so we can’t see any of their teeth. Here’s the right fill level:
you’ll see the toner level is just short of a foam gasket.
You might find that the stirrer blade confuses you. It’s a stri with
windows bonded to the same shaft that connects the two worm
gears. Pay no real attention to it. Focus on the worm gears being
just covered and the level being short of the foam gasket as
ex lained above. With the stirrer blade in lay, the correct level
looks something like this.
7. CARE! A full bottle holds 3 times the toner you want to our
in. Go little by little, sto ing to even out the toner by shaking
the cartridge from side to side.
8. Hold finger firmly over end of s out, shake bottle for 10 seconds.
9. Slowly s read a layer of toner along length of com artment.
10. Sto ouring and shake cartridge from side to side to even out toner.
11. Check the level as described in 6. Sto if there. Carefully ut more in if not.
12. Place handle iece in correct osition for
re-assembly. Note triangular teeth face
u wards.
13. Sna cover back on and screw down with
5 screws.
14. Put refilled cartridge back machine and wait a few moments
while it initialises.

ormal cartridge refill
You need a small flat blade screwdriver to lever the lug out. We found it easiest
with one, which was 3mm wide at the ti , where the metal was 0.5mm thick.
Bigger, fatter screwdrivers can’t get behind the li of the lug.
1. At to of cartridge, insert 3mm screwdriver behind flange of lug.
2. Push screwdriver into cartridge down side of lug and start to lever out.
3. When lug has moved out a little, try to ull with fingers to avoid damage.
4. Some damage to lug is unavoidable. This lug didn’t leak during first refill,
but leaks can be sealed with bathroom sealant or soft-drying glue.
5. Screw s out onto bottle and wra sticky ta e around join of s out to ensure no leakage of
toner.
6. Use one hand to hold cartridge ready at 45-degree angle.
7. Hold finger firmly over end of s out, shake bottle for 10 seconds.
8. A roach s out to hole and u -end into hole. Jam in firmly and wait 60 seconds.
9. Bring bottle back down to horizontal and move away from
hole.
10. Hold finger firmly over end of s out, shake bottle again. If
you feel there is still some toner left in, a roach to hole,
u -end, jam in and wait as before.
11. Re lace lug with damaged areas towards to of cartridge
– alternatively, if su lied, use re lacement new orange
lug.
12. Shake end of cartridge over a sheet of white a er. If it
leaks, seal with bathroom sealant, soft-drying glue or a
rubber-based glue like co ydex.

Please, tell three people what you've done
OK, we admit it. This is our begging act. Have you saved money by using our DIY
kit? Did you feel a touch of ride as your cartridge did rint again? Maybe you
found some environmental satisfaction? Or erha s you feel it should be refilled
"because it's there". We sincerely ho e we've hel ed float your boat in some way.
And if so, then lease hel our voice in the wilderness and tell at least three eo le
about what you did with your em ty cartridge.
We all know a lot of eo le: at work, in the family and in clubs
and grou s. Why not make a oint of telling just three of those
eo le about what you did with your em ty cartridge? Even if they don't have
rinters themselves, they robably know eo le that do.
Why not co y these instructions and FAX them to three work
contacts? Why not make some hotoco ies and give them to
eo le that you know use com uters? Why not broadcast an
email to your email als? In our ex erience, eo le will robably
thank you for getting organised to s read useful information and
it enhances your (doubtless already legendary) image as
someone who knows their stuff. A battered home world might just benefit from
your efforts as well.
Don't forget
You can easily refill desktop copier cartridges by Canon, Shar and Xerox.
Plus enjoy more refilling success with mono and colour laser rinters by
Hewlett Packard, Brother, Canon, E son, Lexmark, Konica Minolta, Samsung,
Xerox and others.
