If the printer displays an 'Out-Bin Full' message, it means there's too much paper in the output tray, or the bin full sensor is defective. Remove some paper from the output tray.
What to do if my Samsung SCX 3205W All in One Printer door is open?
If the printer indicates that the door is open, it means either the door is physically open or the door sensor is defective. Check to ensure that the door is completely closed.
Why is my Samsung All in One Printer showing a scanner locked error?
A scanner locked error indicates that the scanner can't work properly, possibly due to an abnormal home position check of the sensor when moving the scanner. Try turning the power off and then on again.
Why is my Samsung SCX 3205W All in One Printer printing a light image?
A light image can occur if the develop roller brush is too thin because the cartridge is almost empty. Replace the developer cartridge and try printing again.
Why is my Samsung All in One Printer printing a vertical black line and band?
A vertical black line or band in printing suggests there is damage to the develop roller in the toner cartridge. Replace the developer and try printing again.
