Reset ML-1640 and ML-2240 for Refill Toner


image

I will give you the download link and how to do this. Instead of giving you the whole package, I provide them in 2 packages for each printer model, the raw package and the simple package.

 

The Raw Package contains the original firmware upgrades from Samsung with the patches and firmware downloads. With this package you’ll need to run the complete steps as I did.

 

The Simple package contains only the patched version of firmware so you only need to do the final step as I did.

 

But before you begin, Please read the facts carefully:


The firmware upgrades included in the raw package are official version downloaded from SAMSUNG website.


The firmware file included in the simple package are the patched version.


I’ve run the patches for a Samsung ML-1640 and it works fine till now, but I never test the fix for ML-2240, however I also supply the file because it’s provided by the same patches.


My operating system is Windows XP SP2.

    See the temporary folder used for the firmware on 2nd panel “Select Downloaded Firmware” in File Name field. Open the specified folder and copy the specified file name (with fls extension) to the package folder.


    Now close the firmware upgrades.

    Run the firmware patches (fixXX40.bat) and you will find new firmware file in the same folder with prefix “FIX_”, press any key to exit the patches.

That was excellent and could not believe.

However, I just wanted to know if I have to redo the procedure whenever the pop-up comes saying "toner is exhausted"?

Probably the downloaded zip extracts can help.

I thank all those who posted this important download to save our environment.

This is a one time process. After doing this procedure, You cannot get this message again "toner is exhausted"

Hi thanx but I used the simple package method for ML-1640 and after turning back on the printer it is not working. The lights on the printer are on when I switch on the printer but immediately go away and never come back. Was I supposed to firmware upgrade? because after running the firmware upgrades, all I did was copying the fls extension file to the package folder and just closed the firmware upgrades. then I just followed your instructions. My pc no longer recognises the printer damn it. please help me thanx.
