Resolving Print Quality Problems
Checklist for ensuring print quality
Print quality problems can be solved by using the following checklist. list.
• Redistribute the toner in the cartridge (see p. 6.2).
• Clean the inside of the printer (see p. 6.4).
• Adjust the print resolution from the printer properties window (see p. 5.11).
• Make sure the toner save mode is off (see page 28). 5.6).
• Solve general printing problems (see p. 7.2).
• Install a new toner cartridge, then check the print quality again (see page 39). 2.2).
Resolving Print Quality Problems

If a vertical white streak appears on the page, or faded area:
• The toner cartridge is low on toner. You may be able to
temporarily extend the life of the cartridge. See section “Redistributing Toner in a Cartridge” on page 17 6.2... If this will not help improve print quality, install a new one toner cartridge.
• The paper may not be of the correct size.

In this review I want to tell you about the Samsung ML-1210 laser printer, its advantages and disadvantages, as well as the biggest problem of this model - prolonged heating of the “stove” and the elimination of this “sore”.
And so, the Samsung ML-1210 printer itself is, in principle, not bad, it prints quite high quality, the cartridge is easy to refill, the toner for it is inexpensive. The printer is compact (photo below), fits easily on the table next to the monitor.
The photo below shows the control panel of the Samsung ML-1210 printer: 1. Error indicator, indicator of the presence of paper in the printer; 2. Indicator of turning on the toner saving mode; 3. Button to reset / stop printing; 4. Button for printing a test page (press and hold for 2 seconds).
To get the cartridge, just open the front cover of the printer (photo below) and pulling the cartridge towards you to remove it.
The photo below shows the cartridge itself. I will tell you about its refueling and malfunctions in subsequent reviews in the near future.
Now we turn to the elimination of prolonged heating of the “stove”.
First of all, you need to disassemble the printer itself, for this, first unscrew the two screws as shown in the photo below.
And also two screws on the back of the Samsung ML-1210 laser printer (photo below).
Then remove the cover (photo below).
And also take out the paper feed tray (photo below) upward movement.
Then remove the top cover of the printer (photo below).
Now we can get to the laser unit, which also needs to be removed. To do this, you need to pull out two cables from the connectors and unscrew the three screws as shown in the photo below, and do not forget to remove the paper feed roller that is located under the laser unit, it is held by two screws (unfortunately, there is no photo of the roller).
In the photo below there is a laser unit, be VERY CAREFUL with it, as it can be easily damaged, but it is not cheap and it is quite problematic to find it.
The photo below shows where “the dog is buried” - this is a bushing (bearing of the right transfer shaft), it wears out over time, it is advisable to replace it, but if this is not possible, then you can try to lubricate it with conductive paste (photo below) sometimes it helps, but not for long.
After properly reassembling the printer in reverse order and replacing the bushing, the printer will warm up quickly again.
In general, over the four years of operation, I did not have any special problems with the Samsung ML-1210 laser printer - I had to replace the cartridge once, since the old one worn out two and a half years after purchase, and replace the bearing of the right transfer shaft (bushing). There was also a problem with paper jams, but as it turned out later, the problem was in the paper itself, after I bought a high-quality one, all the problems with jams disappeared.
If you have the opportunity to buy a Samsung ML-1210 printer, you can buy it, I think you will not regret it.
After a long break, I am posting a new guide to repairing Samsung ML 1210. Here is the hero of the occasion. Samsung ml1210. The printer is quite old, but, with adequate operation, it will give odds to any modern printer, and the internal structure is quite simple and reliable, like a Kalashnikov assault rifle. Many top-fed laser printers have a pick-up roller that is roughly the same so that you can repair other similar printers. For each step, a photo of what needs to be done will be attached.
Next, unscrew the screws on the back cover, 4 pieces.
We take out the cartridge; this can be done earlier.
Next, we remove the back cover, which we unscrewed and unscrew a couple of screws on the front panel:
Now we remove the side covers:
Now unscrew the laser holder:
Next, remove the paper receiving unit:
Now we carefully extract the hero of the occasion:
As you can see, the gum has worn out and lost its properties, has become "slippery", I advise you to buy a new one, it costs from 40 to 50 rubles. But you can simply remove the rubber band and move it to another place, which is what I did.
Degreased the rubber with cologne, put it back on the roller.
Putting everything in reverse order and as a result of our work, the Samsung ml 1210 printer printed us a test page:
Periodically, the sheet was not captured, but now it is not captured at all. the workshop tentatively estimated the work at 3000 rubles. After watching your training I will try it myself. Thank you.
Thanks to Damir for a clear explanation on how to repair the pick-up roller. I got, by chance, an old M-1210. I didn’t want to grab the paper, but I didn’t print badly. I was going to give it up for repairs, and then I got to your site. In one hour I took it apart, turned the rubber band, cleaned it and now it works like new! It turns out everything is quite simple, but he himself would not have guessed. I wish you health and success!
Thank you very much, Damir! I used the recommendations and for the first time in my life I climbed to repair a printer that did not pick up paper. And I succeeded!
The iron panel can be unscrewed immediately without disconnecting any plugs and the laser device. You just unscrew it and put it on your side. For example, I cleaned the gum with isopropyl alcohol and glued one layer of electrical tape under it (between it and the plastic). Everything works great.
Damir! Maybe you can tell me - the printer has not been used for a long time, although it was serviceable. Today I wanted to get him back into operation. He took out, took out the cartridge, vacuumed with a cordless vacuum cleaner (i.e. very weak) with a soft brush, put the cartridge back in, turned it on. He hummed, as usual, but the humming did not stop, then it smelled hot. Disconnected, took out the cartridge. The block in front of the cartridge that says 180'C was hot. Tried it several times - the same thing. I read on the forums that after replacing the cartridge, the warm-up time changed, but I apparently did not turn off at all, although it was warming up. It's not entirely clear with heating - I thought that the gray roller in the middle of the bottom of the printer should be warming up, and the heating unit is located at the paper exit point. What does he warm then? I suppose that I drove the excess dirt somewhere into the moving contact. Can you tell me?
Read the Information on Replacing the Paper Feed Roller and Retarding Pad on Samsung ML-1210 Printers
When the printer stops picking up paper, or starts picking up several sheets at a time, then it's time to clean or replace the brake pad and paper feed roller.
-special liquid for cleaning, for example (formula A)
We unscrew the two screws securing the rear cover of the printer and prying the latches with a flat screwdriver, remove it.
Remove the front cover with the false panel, disconnect the control board connector and completely remove the front cover.
We remove the top cover, which is fastened with two screws, after that we remove the side covers, which are fastened with latches.
Having unscrewed two screws, remove the paper feed roller located on the laser mounting frame, remove the laser frame itself by unscrewing its mounting screws.
After removing the paper guiding unit and disconnecting the latch, carefully remove the brake pad.
We carry out a visual inspection of the brake pad and the paper feed roller, if they are in good condition, then they should be wiped with a clean cloth moistened with a special cleaning liquid. If there are obvious signs of wear, it is best to replace the entire pair at once.
It is also useless to carry it for repairs, because in service centers there are completely crooked and stupid creatures, which I have already been convinced of many times. And they will not do it, and the time will stretch out, and they will take the money. And I decided that I would try it myself, if it didn’t work, then I would throw it out.
Disassembling the printer down to the printing mechanism, I found this pinch roller, and I saw that one of the two screws on which it is attached was not tightened. Just in case, I even took it off and washed it, then cleaned all the insides with a vacuum cleaner, then collected it and tried to print something. And, lo and behold, it prints like new!
Here is this video (unfortunately, I did not take a picture of it in disassembled form, and now I do not want to disassemble it).
Like this. Moral: there is no need to carry around the service centers something that is elementary repaired on its own.

Hello. How to remove the transfer shaft?) At 4200 there is a latch at the end. And then I can't understand something, I don't want to damage it.
Do I want to wash it with warm water or will it be enough to vacuum and lubricate without removing the sleeve?
In 5-10 seconds I found a service manual in Google, and in it:
3-4 Transfer Roller 1 Open the front cover. 2 Use a proper tool (“-” type screwdriver) to pull the one end of the roller slightly, then take it out.
2. Sergey_201617.12.17 15:27
(1) if it were that easy
use a minus screwdriver and pull it out.
similar to the instructions for removing the cartridge from the printer. Open the cover, use your right or left hand and remove the cartridge)
(0) here from the end there is a bushing under the board, remove it. Then, from the opposite side (where the cartridge gear is), you can gently squeeze the latches (the shaft itself is pressed down) and removed with a screwdriver (but very carefully). Or, if with minimal risk, but here you have to make out a lot. P.S. I do not recommend being zealous when washing the roller itself, then you can get a long way out in readiness (although this is "treated" too).
4. Sergey_201617.12.17 15:51
(3) Thanks for your reply. Maybe then I'll leave this venture, vacuum the shaft itself well. And lubricate the bushing on the right with conductive grease by turning the shaft
(4) I usually take off, but I clean only with a “muscle” with green (or other similar means) - I pour it on a sheet of paper (but you can also on the shaft itself, just not much), wrap the shaft, and roll it on the table like a rolling pin .Like that.
(0) Sergey! The question is, why remove the transfer shaft, there the conductive bushing is reliable, as in the Samsung SCX-4300. It is possible to wash, as in (5), in its regular place, on the sly not with a fluffy rag with MM, only first, in addition to a vacuum cleaner, a compressor, remove the toner and, if possible, any, "guano" -. and under the transfer shaft, and on the boards themselves. Desirable. before doing this, move the laser unit aside.
(5) good idea) at 4200, I took it off completely and with liquid soap under warm water and then dry it on the battery)
8. Sergey_201617.12.17 17:18
(6) I think I will do so, I will go over the entire shaft with a vacuum cleaner and wipe the MM with a rag. dries up and put the device back)
(8) I wonder what the mileage is on it? And yet, the state of the cartridge - here in it - always clean the mixing shaft from the remnants of paper dust and chalk.
10. Sergey_201617.12.17 17:37
(9) Mileage 37 thousand since 2001. The cartridge sprinkles toner, but this is not a problem, I will sort it out, clean it, wash it and refill it.
Dali, as if with a problem, captures all the paper at once, I disassembled the printer, ordered a roller and a brake one and decided to make him an audit, clean and wash the nodes.
(2) Indeed, what nonsense is it to use the service manual.
12. Sergey_201617.12.17 19:06
(11) no, not stupidity. The question is that following the description of the service manual, it will not work to get the shaft.
13. Dmitry Krsk17.12.17 20:15
(12) EMNIP in 1210, the transfer by the other side is worth compared to 4200. (correct if not right, I haven't seen them for a long time) or the bushing on the other side? I don't remember damn (
