Samsung ML 1640 V1.01.00.78 Toner Reset

If you have a Samsung ML 1640 laser printer with the starter toner cartridge (that was in it when you bought it), you may encounter a problem when you try to refill it or replace it with a non-original cartridge. The printer may stop working and display a "Toner Exhausted" message on the red LED.

This is because the starter toner cartridge does not have a chip that can be reset, unlike the regular toner cartridges that you can buy from Samsung or other suppliers. The chip is a small device that keeps track of the number of pages printed and signals the printer when the toner is low or empty.

Fortunately, there is a way to reset the starter toner cartridge and make your printer work again. You will need to update the firmware of your printer to a newer version that does not check for the chip. This will allow you to use any toner cartridge, whether it is original, compatible, or refilled.

How to Update the Firmware of Your Printer

Before you proceed, make sure that you have a USB cable to connect your printer to your computer, and that your printer is turned on and ready. Also, make sure that you have downloaded the latest firmware file for your printer from Samsung's website. The file name should be something like "ML-1640_V1.01.00.91.exe".

Run the firmware file on your computer and follow the instructions on the screen.

When prompted, connect your printer to your computer using the USB cable.

Wait for the firmware update process to complete. Do not turn off your printer or disconnect the USB cable during this time.

When the firmware update is done, you will see a message saying "Firmware Update Success". Click "OK" to exit the program.

Disconnect the USB cable and restart your printer.

Congratulations! You have successfully updated the firmware of your printer and reset the starter toner cartridge. You can now use any toner cartridge you want, without worrying about the chip or the page count.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any problems during or after the firmware update process, here are some tips that may help you:

If you get an error message saying "The port selected does not exist", make sure that you have connected your printer to your computer using the USB cable, and that your printer is turned on and ready.

If you get an error message saying "The printer is not responding", try unplugging and plugging back in the USB cable, or changing to a different USB port on your computer.

If you get an error message saying "The firmware file is corrupted", try downloading the firmware file again from Samsung's website, or from another source. Make sure that you download the correct file for your printer model and region.

If you get an error message saying "The firmware update failed", try repeating the firmware update process from the beginning. If it still fails, contact Samsung's customer support for assistance.

If your printer does not work properly after the firmware update, try resetting it to factory settings by pressing and holding the Cancel button for about 10 seconds until all LEDs blink once. Then release the button and wait for the printer to restart.

We hope that this article has helped you to reset your Samsung ML 1640 starter toner cartridge and enjoy printing again. If you have any questions or feedback, please leave a comment below.
