The waste toner tank on your Samsung CLX-3160FN multifunction color laser printer collects excess toner during print processes. After approximately 1,250 full color 5 percent printouts or 5,000 standard color printouts, the waste tank fills completely and a “Replace Waste Toner” alert appears on the control panel display. When you see this alert, you must access the full, used tank via the printer’s front cover to remove the tank and replace it with an empty new tank to continue printing. Warnings Writer Bio
