Samsung SCX-4600 Unlocking & Regeneration: Service Blockade Removal, FIX & English Manual

The service for removing the blockade wants PLN 150 ... I picked up the FIX on the Portuguese forum and translated the manual into English. Manual in the archive. Cheers

will someone with more points check ???

I would not post it if it was not checked.

Instruction in Polish:

1.Remove the toner cartridge and disconnect the usb cable
2.Turn off the printer
3. Turn on the printer and hold the "Stop" button while starting it up
4. The device display will show the message "download"
5.Press "Stop" to continue
6. The message "image1" will appear on the display of the device
7.Plug in the USB cable
8. Wait for windows to successfully install the new device
9. Boot "dwnl4600.bat" from Reset SCX 4600 directory
10.The printer firmware upload window will be displayed, confirm the changes.
11. The display of the device will show the progress of loading new software, do not turn off the printer or computer.
12.After the new firmware has been successfully installed, restart the printer.
13.Close the contacts of the counter chip in the toner with tape and install the toner in the printer.

The printed page counter will reset each time the machine is turned on. Works with starter and standard toner.

So it doesn't count pages at all? Is the software change safe, what about the warranty? Some home-grown electronics sell an eternal chip on the Allegro website, so it's not difficult, it's just a pity that the price comes from outer space. After reading the description of the auction, I wonder if it is not the same.

I have the scx-4600 printer and I confirm that the program works I started it when the red LED on the printer started flashing and the message "prepare a new cartridge" was displayed, which means that the toner will be almost out soon. I did everything according to the instructions, printed the report and I have in writing that the printer thinks that 0 pages were printed from the given toner however, it is necessary to seal the metal contacts on the toner cartridge with adhesive tape, first I did not do it and it continued to flash red, now I sealed it and everything is fine, the printer works.

Hello and welcome. I join the request and is anyone else able to confirm the operation of this program?

Which contacts on the chip should be taped? All 4 or any specific?

Can anyone confirm the operation of this program? For the SCX-4623 printer

this is information from the tutorial included with this software:

This Reset NOT BEEN USED IN SCX 4623, because the toners are the same, maybe you can work, but we are not responsible for any damage.

so with the 4623 you do so at your own risk

I just performed a counter reset of my "Samsung" according to the procedure and what? Nothing happened to the device, but the page counter did not reset.
What a suprise! I put in the starter toner with a sticky chip (I sealed all 4 contacts), which previously did not want to work anymore and what? IT WORKS!!!
Tomorrow I will charge the second cartridge and see if it will work too !!!

Alternative firmware for printers
SCX-4623F - Link
SCX-4623FN - Link

I did according to the instructions under windows 7 showed an installation error, but I continued and it works. I put in a loaded toner with an old chip that showed empty early and works.

Hello,

I follow the instructions, but when turning on the device, I press stop and it looks like it does not respond, it just warms up and displays ready for copying and install the toner. What am I doing wrong?
I will add that I have the SCX-4600

Tested on the SCX-4600 Works 100%

Before pressing the "power" button, press "stop" and while holding it on, start the printer.

it also works for me good people thanks to you !

How many times can such a toner be refilled?
Because I added a few toners to the hp-1200 and I know that after the first refill, it prints normally, and after the next one, not so much. This photosensitive drum is then too worn ...
I talked to the drunken people, he said that they always change the drum and probably the collecting bar when adding it ...

And is it possible to restore the factory settings after changing the firmware so that there is no trace of changes? Yes, in the event of a guarantee, as if it was needed ...

Why unlock and lose the warranty if replacements for this model are ready.

Hello. I tell the printer as in the subject. The attempt to reset the counter ends with an error when the software is uploaded to the printer. Everything goes correctly to point 11 of the DDRPL instruction. The message on the printer is: " image error reset printer "and nothing happens. A hard reset of the printer brings it back to life, but the toner is recognized as" replaceable ". Starter toner. I sealed the contacts and removed the chip completely. I removed the soft from the electrode and another place. Tests on Xp 32bit and W7 64bit The effect is the same, i.e. no effect I am asking the people who managed to provide the date and marking on the printer - maybe there has been a blockade for some time / version.
Please help.

I bought this printer recently, I made it according to the instructions and it did not work (I did 2 times) - it turned out I just forgot to seal the toner contacts - I stuck it and then it showed that the toner is 100% ,
page counter WORKS, I currently have 2,500 pages on starter toner
update done on win7x64 - but it does not matter, because it is a simple upload via USB - try maybe from a different computer?

Hello
And can anyone tell me how to restore the original soft and, if necessary, where to download it?

from what I remember it's an original fix to 4600 but I can't cut my head or arm off because I won it a long time ago

it didn't go again

On windows 7 a message pops up on the printer "Image error Reset Printer".
I don't have access to XP, but it seems to me it's the fault of the device not being detected by a seven ("No hardware ID") only once it recognized something as a universal printer.
anyone have any idea ...?

most likely 7 wine, I do all fixes only with xp

For me, after turning on "stop", "image1" does not pop up. There is only the message "Install toner". What is it about?

@ ciekbialy20 you need to start the printer with the "STOP" button pressed after sticking / removing the chip and disconnecting the USB cable. Tested on Windows 7 ultimate x64, the installation was fine. I have already refilled the starter toner 4 times, it is unbreakable, and I print a lot.

I will probably give up ... does anyone know how much does toner regeneration in Warsaw cost?
Because I bought a powder on the Allegro but the chip does not work (probably not from this model) ... resetting does not work for me regardless of the system (the same error on the printer is displayed) and it looks like I will give it to someone I can refer to if not will work ^^

Efilon, don't worry, clients come to me with the printer, bitch, and after the pain

I am a little far away from you
Have you ever had a problem with this "Image error Reset Printer" printer message?

My sister said today (sic!) That some time an update was downloaded to the printer and she gave OK, this could be the reason ...?

Hello,
I have been fighting with my samsung for 2 days. I tried on 2 XP Prof computer and on a netbook with Win7 Starter. After connecting the USB cable to the computer, a universal printer is installed for me and I can not proceed to the next stage. Help !!!

Someone may already know what the problems with "Image error Reset Printer" depend on, ie the printer version or maybe the configuration from the computer?
I must admit that buying it when it is only a matter of the printer version is slightly overwhelming in the case of having to buy a new toner after the starter one.
And which versions of the software are convertible and which are not.
Regards

I also have the same problem ... "" Image error Reset Printer "... I do everything according to the instructions ... (I even changed the printer cables) I checked on
win xp and win7 x64 ... the same error ... as for my eyes, the problem is in the new printer software .. I bought mine a month ago ... maybe from 2011 samsung started to produce them on the new firmware, which blocks the ability to update via the package that has been posted here.

ps. how do i enter tech mode? (I want to see the printer software version)

and did you check jai soft has your printer ??
print the test and see what software is 93 or higher
and you print the test normally from the menu, not in the service mode
