Michelle is online now Hi, My Samsung CLX-3185FN keeps giving me the error message This answer was rated: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hi,My Samsung CLX-3185FN keeps giving me the error message "replace/install waste toner tank" and does not work error message at all - not even scanning. It was only a couple of months ago I replaced this unit. However I have thoroughly cleaned the unit and read your advice given two years ago about flipping a switch (which worked for Liz Sutton) but does not work for me! Do you have any other ideas?Joy Share this conversation Expert: Michelle replied2 years ago. Michelle : Hi, My name is ***** error message 3185 ***** i will be assisting youMichelle : as the message indicates a replacement of waste toner tank, the steps to be tried involving cleaning of the optical sensorMichelle : if you have already attempted emptying the tank and still the error is being repeated then try the belowMichelle : Samsung shines a light through the tank with a photo receptor on the other side. If it the photo receptor does not see enough light, it will trigger the replace waste tank message. You can fix this by trying to clean the clear window portion of the tank with a q-tip. This is difficult to do since there are parts of this window which is hard to clean with a q-tip. Or you could wash it out with soapy water until the window is clear of toner. Allow the tank to dry and reinstall.Michelle : if still the same then try the below as wellMichelle : try flipping a black switch beneath the waste toner bottle so as to disable the sensorMichelle : if you have tried the above and still its the same then in that case the waste toner would need to be replacedMichelle : you can get one from any local printer spares store or may order
