SCX 3405W Original firmware. How to flash a samsung printer with your own hands at home

SAMSUNG SCX 3400 Firmware via USBPRNS3. This article provides general recommendations for the profession of SAMSUNG printers firmware through the USBPRNS3 firmware program.

First, we print the report: Menu # 193.4 - In TechMenu, select "configuration reports" and "On consumables".

All that interests us is what firmware versionNo Lie Letters F. In the report and CRUM number. We will sew through USBPRNS3, which can be downloaded from our file archive (Section Additional Software).

The firmware process is shown below on the screens. The program does everything automatically. You only need to enter crum.

After clicking Fixit. We are waiting for the end of the printer firmware

The printer reboots. Pull out the chip. On this, the whole process is over. We can not touch the new versions of the firmware, you do not remember it.

Another version of the firmware, for old versions:

Print reports. . In this case, print a report, pressing and holding the button Stop.

When displaying - flashes 2 times with green, Configuration Report is printed. If the stop button hold a long printed Supplies Report.

In the configuration report, we are interested in the firmware version - in this case it is 06 and what is written in quotes (we draw attention that the firmware version without letters P and F is that the printer does not sew and SCX3405 without letters, then the printer is 3405)

And consumables report

Here we need CRUM number, we have all the information we turn to the firmware.

Shes via USBPRNS3, the link is higher. The printer is connected. The driver is installed (not necessarily, but we got automatically). Turn on USBPRNS3. Go to Main. We see the following - the program determined the type of printer (3400), identified the serial.

Further actions on the screenshots:

After checking the fixt, Fixit pressed. By this time the printer can "fall asleep", "wake up" it can be pressed by the "POWER" button. Strip from below passes to the end. At this time, do not touch anything.

Office equipment often fails, and there is sometimes no time for accessing specialists. In the event that there is no possibility for any reason to ask for help to professionals, you can flash the printer at home. Companies producing modern office equipment, quite a lot. In undoubted leaders, the Korean company Samsung, US company HP (Hewlett-Packard) and Xerox.

In the age of information technologies, find the firmware file of the same Samsung is quite simple. The given instruction will tell in detail how to flash the printer of the common model - ML-2160. Often you can order the firmware file from proven specialists, together with it will send detailed instructions for the firmware with your own hands.

What will we talk about:

Printer Firmware Information

Long exploitation of office equipment Samsung can lead to the need to make a firmware. As a rule, the firmware is tied to the model and the serial number of the printer. Information about the firmware of the Samsung technique is easy to find in free access, it is enough to know the serial number of the device and the model, for example, ML-2160 or SCX-3400. After the firmware, the technique will work without interruptions and additional chips. The printer or MFP is no longer blocked.

Instructions for firmware office equipment

Many people are wondering how to flash the Samsung printer at home, because at home there are no necessary tools and the necessary files. Specialists advise to fulfill phased several steps. Carefully follow the instructions on how to flash the printer.

Information reports

The first and easiest step in the detailed instructions of the Samsung printer firmware are always the same: you need to request a configuration report. It's easy enough to do it. Load two sheets in the printer, be sure to check whether the covers are closed tightly. Press and hold the SAMSUNG button on the MFP panel or printer to the Print Screen within a few seconds. The installed indicator should blink several times, stop and, as soon as it triggers, release the button. The report is printed.

The next button will help print the consumables report. To obtain it, it is necessary to hold the print button again for a few seconds. In this case, the indicator signal should be different. You can let go after the next sequence of the indicator flashing: caught fire, went out, caught fire, went out and began to flash more intense - let go of the button.

Firmware version

After the actions produced, the printer will print two reports. Carefully examine the content of the first sheet and look for the following inscriptions: "Firmware Version" and "Machine Serial Number". The second report should contain "Serial NO".

The serial number contains Latin letters and numbers and varies depending on the type of printer or MFP, as well as manufacturer companies (Samsung, HP or Xerox).

Search for file firmware

The necessary data found in the reports should be carefully written off or make a sheet scan. After that, with these data, you need to contact the specialists, without forgetting to report the printer model, for example, ML-2160 or SCX-3400. Of course, you can find yourself and download the firmware file on the Internet, but there is no guarantee that it will not happen a software failure that will destroy your printer.

The downloaded or received file must be transferred to the computer to which the Samsung printer directly connects or other office equipment.

Preparation for the firmware

First of all, of course, you need to connect office equipment to a computer. Regardless of whether this printer is either MFP. Connection is performed via USB cable. After the connection you need to wait for the notification of the system that it was determined.

Independent firmware

The name of the firmware file will coincide with the name of the printer model. For example, the file may be called this: FIX_ML2160_V1.01.00.34.

The file itself should be transferred to the connection icon with the printer, often it looks like this: USBPRNS2.exe. Do not be afraid of the darkened monitor, as the fill is filling the firmware directly into the printer. After that, the technique independently reboots.

Important! In no case disconnect the printer yourself, wait until it completes the reboot.

The firmware process takes from 1 to 3 minutes, depending on the model of equipment and the manufacturer (Samsung, HP or Xerox). The printer will independently enter the operating mode, restoring all the settings.

You may need forced firmware loading mode in the ML-2160 model. Make it easy: Turn off the printer from the network, clamp the PRINT SCREEN button and turn on the technique. You need to detain the button for three seconds, the indicator should light up. Forced download can be applied in the case of an incorrect firmware file, or if you need to return the original version.

Completion of work

The last step in the samsung printer firmware is to remove a special chip from the cartridge. In addition to direct extraction, you can take it with a tape or insulating tape.

To complete the work, clamp the STOP button for a few seconds. Technique is ready for work, the firmware has been able to hand.

Do not forget to find information on how to flash Samsung's printer is quite simple. But independent firmware does not always be a panacea from software failures. Carefully learn information on how to flash the printer at home before starting to work.

The Samsung SCX-3400 laser MFP is a 3-B-1 device that is equipped with all the necessary functionality to work. The device supports fast printing technology, the possibility of sending faxes on a PC, has compact dimensions, as well as high-resolution prints.

The need for the SAMSUNG SCX-3400 firmware occurs when the printer is blocked due to the end of the toner in the cartridge. Such protection is installed by manufacturers in order to force users to acquire new cartridges, and not refuel the available.

On the end of the toner, the device flashes the flashing red LED.

The Samsung SCX-3400 firmware helps also provide MFP operation without chips.

How to perform the SAMSUNG SCX-3400 MFP firmware

• Turn on the power of the printer, after which we disconnect all USB devices from it. After the printer is ready for operation, a red light will turn on the panel, which notifies the need to replace the cartridge.
• Perform a printing of the test sheet. To do this, you need to quickly press the next sequence of the buttons quickly on the MFP panel: + + Stop - - Stop Stop. The device display shows the message. "UC". Press the key + until you see a message on display AA. After that click Start.. MFP will print a report on 5 pages.
• In the printed report you need to find a string Firmware Version.. Possible versions are displayed in format. 3.xx.01.yy.where yy There may be options: 06, 08, 10, 11, 12, 18, 19. The firmware option proposed in this manual is designed for versions. from 08 to 12.
• Download the archive with the files you want and unpack it. It has three files: the original firmware file, the fix file and the flashing program.
• Connect the printer to the PC and turn it on.
• Fix file drag to the flash driver. This will launch the firmware process, which will be displayed as a DOS window. The firmware takes about 1 minute.
• After the operation is completed, the printer flashes the orange indicator. Turn it off from the network.
• Remove the cartridge and remove the chip or swipe it with a tape / tape.
• Turn on the printer and re-print the report page. In the Firmware Version row, the letter F should appear near the firmware version, which means the successful installation of the fix.

Please note that this step-by-step instruction is intended only for Samsung SCX-3400/3405/3407 MFP models. If you have the device's device SCX-340XF, SCX-3405FW and SCX-3405W, then this firmware is incompatible with them.

SCX-3400 monochrome Laser MFP (as well as its modifications: SCX-3405, SCX-3407, SCX-3400F, SCX-3405F, SCX-3405FK, SCX-3405FH, SCX-3405W, SCX-3405WK, SCX-3405FW) appeared in selling in early 2012. The manufacturer positions this series of MFP as fast, simple and economical. As usual, after the end of the starting cartridge, the MFP will be blocked and the question of replacing the cartridge will occur. The cost of the new cartridge (MLT-D101S) of the Maunda and in this case amounts to about 50% of the cost of MFP. But you can save you, as always, thanks to our fix firmware. After the SCX-3400 firmware, it will stop following the chip on the cartridge and you can often attribute a refund cartridge (paying the rubles 200-500, which is 5 times the minimum cheaper than the new cartridge!), Or, if you decide on an independent cartridge refueling, you It is worth spending no more than 100 rubles per jar with a toner!

Order firmware

Table with current firmware condition:

One of the operators:

1. Full MFP model

The full model is indicated from the front:

Also, the exact model is written in the back of MFP on the sticker. If you look at the report - you can confuse "Model Name: SCX-3400 Series" - do not look at it, the full model is specified after Firmware Version in brackets (see below).

Firmware on SCX-3405, SCX-3400F, SCX-3405W, SCX-3405FK, SCX-3405FH, SCX-3405FW are different and not compatible with each other!

Attention! We warn that the firmware of the SCX-3405FW model (Wi-Fi + FAX) is 10-15% of cases terminated by the RIPCM_EMULCTRL.C 322 Ript error, more described in more detail.

2. Serial number

The serial number of the device is 15-digit, starts with the Latin letter "Z". We recommend copying the serial number through the USB Device Viewer program. You can also from the report (sample see below), the main thing is that without errors.

3. Current firmware version

To find out the firmware version, you must print a configuration report (Configuration Report), for this:

1. Turn on MFP, make sure that at least 5 sheets of paper are loaded;
2. Press the fast buttons to the MFP: "+", "+", "-", "-" (twice the "plus" button, once the button "Stop", twice the "minus" button twice the button "Stop ");
3. "UC" should be displayed on the MFP display;
4. Press the "+" button several times, until "AA" appears on the display;
5. Press the (start) button;
6. Several reports are printed, the firmware version is "Firmware Version"

For models with fax (letter F in model):

1. Turn on MFP, make sure that the paper is loaded
2. Click quickly Menu # 1934 Menu
3. Select Tech Mode.
4. Select Print All Reports

Sample configuration report:

If the firmware versions are not in the table above - most likely, we will not be able to help you with the firmware. For more information, please contact operators.

4. Crum Cartridge Chip number

A 11-digit CRUM number can be found in the Supplies Information Report (Supplies Information Report), which was supposed to be printed according to the instructions above.

Sample consumables report:

CRUM number does not always consist only of numbers, in the new chips on the 7th position there is often a Latin letter!

The most "insidious" - the letter "O", because it can often be confused with the number zero:

As can be seen, the letter is slightly wider than the digit. Also found "z" - you can confuse with the number "2", and "I" looks like "1".

Carefully check the crum number chip. One error and firmware will not work!

Firmware process

The firmware process of the SCX-3400 MFP and its modifications is standard, by universal instructions. No special equipment and knowledge is required.

It is extremely desirable that the chip is installed during the firmware in the cartridge, which:

1. Original (from the original cartridge)
2. Not "empty", i.e. value Toner Remaining in a report not 0%, and MFP itself also prints documents from a computer
3. Not used earlier when firmware another printer

Only in this case the chances of the remote firmware are maximized.

The firmware will be tied to the cartridge chip with which you flash the MFP. After the firmware you will need to take a chip, or delete it from the cartridge and save (it will be a "chip key"). Next, you operate MFPs in normal mode, refueling the old cartridge, however, if you install a new one - be sure to swipe on it chip! Otherwise, the SCX-3400 will be blocked, to unlock it will be necessary to install a "chip key"!

By default, we send fix-firmware without protection against updates (updated), which provides greater safety of the firmware process, but if MFP will offer to update the firmware in the future - you can not agree! Since if the factory firmware is established version 3.00.02.00 and above - you will not find a fix-firmware!
If you need a firmware with protection about updates (unnecessary) - Be sure to specify it in the query to the operator, but I warn it: If an error is assumed in the data, or is not complied with one of the three above-mentioned chips, and you will secure it fix-firmware with protection from Updates - the firmware may not work, and it is possible to reflash only with a special Debug cable!

New firmware 3.00.02.xx

At the end of 2013 for the MFP SCX-3400, SCX-3405, SCX-3407, SCX-3400F, SCX-3405F, SCX-3405W, SCX-3405FW appeared new versions of firmware: 3.00.02.00, 3.00.02.01, 3.00.02.02, 3.00.02.05. In these versions, the manufacturer has made such changes that the appearance of fix firmware is unlikely, there are no currently.

However, it is possible to lower the firmware version on the programmer, and then order the usual fixing firmware. This method is more suitable for those who often stitches such MFPs if you need to flash only one machine - cheaper to put on the firmware to the serviceman, which is engaged in such models and versions.

If the firmware for new versions will ever appear - we will place a prominent news on the main page and on social networks.

So, Gnusmashas once again strengthened the encryption of firmware, and released new versions of the type vx.xx.02.xx. Last week, I was already caught a new apparatus from the supplier with such a disgust.

Now not only the kernel is encrypted, but also the bootloader, and the dump from the file will not be able to do. In addition, the checksum is added, however, the Standard Algorithm is CRC32. Another joy: debug mode is cut around the most eggs, only the team is left fL. And, most importantly, added verification of the ECDSA digital signature correctness.

Based on the foregoing, we conclude: a decrease to version v3.00.01.19 is the only working version. Pick the key to sign is unrealistic, that is, the firmware on version 02.xx will never be! (if the key does not learn randomly 🙂)

We need:

1. Programmer for firmware SPI Flash (about it Read more at the end of the article)
2. Soldering station with a hairdryer
3. Tweezers
4. Hex editor
5. The original firmware on which we will lower

Let's proceed:

That's all, nothing complicated if there is a tool, work for 10-15 minutes.

Now about the programmer. Immediately I say, the scheme for PonyProg will not suit! I need support for SPI Flash, and it can only SPI EEPROM.

For those who want to make the programmer independently, I propose a few schemes: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/ckpz4rc3p8uzb//spi_prog to some files can swear antiviruses, but these are false responses. I myself have not checked these schemes, because There are miniPro.

In this way, you can humiliate all the devices on which the 25Q series flash drives are installed:

SCX-3405, SCX-3405W, SCX-3405F, SCX-3405FW, SCX-4650N, SCX-4655FN, ML-2165W, CLP-365, CLP-365W and similar
