When a cartridge runs out of toner during operation, the message "Install Toner Card" is displayed on the machine's display. In the future, if you do not install a smart card or replace the cartridge, you will not be able to continue printing. Firmware 3100 Xerox allows you to solve this problem in order to refill the cartridge in the future and not spend money on buying a new one. Please note that in order to complete the flashing process, you will need a cartridge chip programmer, as well as a chip desoldering tool.

Xerox Phaser 3100 MFP: firmware

Here is information about Xeroc 3100 firmware with earlier versions. About 2.07m and 2.07t firmware methods -

You can flash printers with firmware versions for versions 2.04u, 2.05w, 2.07g. In order to see the firmware version number, press [down arrow], [*], V in sequence. If you have a different software version on the MFP, you need to update it. The update is done using the Xerox Companion Suite program, which is supplied on the disk with the drivers, or you can ask me

unsoldered the micro, considered the dump, made a backup, flashed it, blocked the basket, soldered the micro to the board except for the 7th leg, turned it on, checked it, everything is ok, threw a jumper from 7 to 8, assembled it, checked it

The basket is the second chip for storing temporary data! It is located in the lower left corner of the formatter; it needs to short-circuit the first and fourth legs so that the counters do not return to the original ones when the ms is flashed! First, flash 24C16, then shorten the second ms, and only then solder 24C16 in place and check the device’s performance and, after a successful check, shorten 7 by 8!

For beginners

In this article, we want to show how to properly flash the MFP 3100. All actions can be divided into three stages: Disassembling the MFP, Soldering and flashing the microcircuit, Assembling the MFP.

Disassembly of the MFP.

First, you should remove the paper tray and detach the front cover that covers the cartridge. After that, you need to remove the side plastic cover, for this you need to unscrew 2 bolts and remove 4 latches, the first bolt is in front behind the front cover, Figure 1, the second bolt is behind the paper seal that needs to be broken (if you break through the seal, then you automatically remove the printer (MFP) with warranty) Figure 2, two latches are on the bottom (they must be pressed) Figure 3, two latches are on top Figure 4. Unscrew 2 bolts, press on the bottom latches, pry off the top latches and remove the side cover.

So, you have removed the side plastic cover, and you see a metal protective cover that needs to be removed (Figure 5). To remove it, you need to unscrew 3 bolts, the first in front, Figure 6, the second from the bottom, Figure 7, the third bolt in the back, Figure 8.

You carefully remove the metal protective cover and see the board on which you need to solder and flash the microcircuit, Figure 9.10.

The first stage, namely the disassembly is completed, we proceed to the next stage: Soldering and flashing the microcircuit.

Soldering and firmware microcircuit.

First you need to turn on the MFP and find out the version software(software) and MINIBOOT version. Software can be G U W F M T and others. ... MINIBOOT are 2.05; 2.07 ... When the printer is turned on, press the menu button and press the asterisk button, a list will appear in which you select the desired sections Figure 11,12,13.

In order for the printer to work, you need to reset the counter of printed pages, which is located in the 24C16 chip. We will work with her. You need to carefully solder this microcircuit with a soldering iron, it is better to work with a hairdryer. The soldering iron must be grounded to prevent static shock to the board. You should work at a temperature of 260-300 degrees, if you solder at high temperatures, then the board may overheat, when the board overheats, the adhesive holding the tracks loses its property and the tracks fly off Figure 14. If this happens to you, then you can solder to the duplicate outputs Figure 14 fifteen.

After you have soldered the 24C16 chip, you need to flash it in accordance with the software version (software) and the MINIBOOT version. The firmware is done by a microcircuit programmer, you can use a regular programmer with 2 resistors. Also, you can not flash the microcircuit, but solder a ready-made flashed another microcircuit. You can purchase stitched chips in our online store (chips for Xerox 3100). So you have the desired flashed chip and you need to solder it back, you should do it carefully. Before soldering on the microcircuit, you need to raise the seventh leg, solder everything except this leg into place. Now you need to turn on the printer (MFP) and print a sheet of paper, make sure that the toner is 98%, after that you need to turn off the machine and continue soldering. It is necessary to solder the seventh and eighth legs of the microcircuit together as shown in Figure 16.17. We do not solder the seventh leg to the board!

After soldering, you need to clean the surface with alcohol from flux, rosin. The result should be as shown in Figure 18.

If you want the device to not display the message “Toner low, Toner is running out”, you need to do the following operations with the microcircuit shown in Figure 19.

A jumper is made between the first and fourth legs, for example, as shown in Figure 20.

If you have software versions (software) “T” and “M”, then you still need to have a bite to eat 8 legs

The second stage, namely the soldering and firmware of the microcircuits, is completed, we proceed to the next stage: Assembling the MFP.

Assembling the MFP

Let's start the assembly: The assembly goes in the reverse order of disassembling the MFP.

We install the metal protective cover in place, fasten all the bolts (Figure 22).

We put on the plastic side cover, fasten all the latches, fasten 2 bolts. We put on the front cover, insert the paper tray Figure 23. Turn on the printer and make sure that the MFP is ready, which means we did everything right.

Examples of disgusting soldering are not ours !!

Refill Xerox phaser 3100 MFP cartridge

quite simple: you need to unscrew the screws on the left side of the cartridge. To do this, you need a special screwdriver with a 6-pointed asterisk. If one is not at hand, these screws can be cut for a flat screwdriver. After removing the side cover of the cartridge, you need to open the plug, which is clearly visible and fill in the toner. Suitable toner Xerox PHASER 3120 or Samsung ML-1710 BULAT. The main problem is not this.

Since recently, office equipment manufacturers, including Xerox, have been trying in every possible way to protect their cartridges from the possibility of refilling them, after installing a refilled cartridge, users encounter an unexpected nuisance: the message "Install toner card" appears on the Xerox 3100MFP display. The device is blocked.

The EEPROM 24C16 chip is located on the main board on the right side of the Xerox Phaser 3100MFP. EEPROM - electrically erasable programable read only memory.

The program for flashing the 24C16 chip for the Xerox Phaser 3100 MFP.

Ready firmware for EEPROM 24c16 MFP Xerox Phaser 3100 mfp in Ponyprog format can be downloaded here: download firmware for EEPROM 24c16. After flashing this EEPROM, your device will not be blocked by toner until the counter counts 12,000 prints, i.e. You will be able to refill the cartridge three or four times without buying a toner card. After 12,000 prints, the machine will lock again. Then you will need to repeat the flashing procedure using the same fill.

As you can see, the gas station itself Xerox cartridge The Phaser 3100 MFP is not very difficult, but frankly, the procedure for flashing the 24C16 chip is time-consuming and painstaking. Not everyone dares to do such experiments with their rather expensive device. At present, the original Xerox Phaser 3100mfp 106R01460 refill kits for 3,000 prints have already appeared on sale. This kit includes: a toner container for 3000 prints, an external sticker, a new plug that closes the toner hopper, an activation card (smart card) of the cartridge, and instructions for refilling the Xerox phaser 3100 MFP cartridge.
True, the cost of this kit is about $35-$40, although it is about 3 times cheaper than buying a new cartridge. The choice is yours...

If the device has version 2.07m, then there is a similar solution, but it was decided not to upload it to the public, but to distribute it for a fee (write to the mail, who is interested) in order to somehow restrain its distribution on the network. Distribution in the network will inevitably lead to plugging this "hole" with a copier, as was already done in version t. This solution is also suitable for Konica-Minolta PagePro 1480MF 1490MF, Philips MFD 6020(6050), OKI B2500MFP.

The solution for version 2.07t is made, but not sold, in order to avoid putting it on the net, as was the case with version m. We say special thanks to one poster on his blog. The only option available to you is:

if the device has version 2.07t, then at the moment, the solution for the Xerox 3100 MFP with and without fax, version 2.07t and miniboot 3.01 is to resolder (or reprogram) the chipset 24c16 and 29LV wired for version 2.05w with miniboot 0.01 (Provided service of sending a set of already programmed microcircuits on professional equipment with subsequent data verification). If you live in Russia, then write to the address [email protected]- The set will be sent the next day after payment. The cost of one set is 500 rubles. When ordering, be sure to tell which device you need the kit for (with fax or not, because the flash is different), your full address (including the postal code) and the last name, first name, patronymic of the recipient of the parcel - otherwise the parcel will not be given to you by mail. Shipping is free. When ordering from five sets, the cost of each is 400 rubles.

Also, the problem with the T version can be solved by installing a new smart card and, after resetting the device, block the basket and 24c16 as shown at the beginning of the article (if jumpers on the microcircuits were installed before, then they must be removed and everything returned to its original form, otherwise resetting the smart card will not work). Naturally, this method new map works on all other versions. After blocking the microcircuits, the counters will be reset to zero after the device is turned off.

Attention!

Now a set of microcircuits can also be ordered for residents of Ukraine. If you live in Ukraine, then write to the mail - fliper0468(no spam)mail.ru. Prompt shipment within one day after payment! The prices are different.

The presence of a set of programmed microcircuits is a good insurance in case something went wrong with the device, everyone who is closely involved in the repair of office equipment and 3100 in particular should have such sets. Of course, you can purchase blank microcircuits and program them yourself, but not everyone has programmers for about 10,000 rubles. plus a socket for a couple of thousand, for such cases our service for sending these kits is suitable.

Please pay attention:

If, after altering the device, the screen displays FLASH ERROR - FLASH PLUG INIT, then this means that the device cannot read 24s16. This is due to poor-quality soldering or (much less often) a malfunction of this chip.

If after soldering the 29LV chip, black squares are displayed on the screen, this means poor soldering (or less often a malfunction due to overheating during soldering) of this chip. Also, due to not missing 29LV, an inscription may appear waiting file.
Sometimes the device writes - reading the card is temporarily suspended, turn off the device for a day. After that, turn it on, the inscription should disappear.

It is possible that after soldering a 29LV flash with version W to a device that previously had version T or M, a sheet with a background comes out when copying:

This happens because, starting from version M, other scanner lines are installed in the devices than in previous models. The solution to the problem is to perform the "calibration" item of the scanner from the menu, after performing the calibration the result is:

There may be such a situation that calibrating the scanner may not help, then you need to do the following, as soon as the printer has started working after soldering 29LV, raise the version of the device using the suite to M or T.

Another unpleasant moment is that there may be such a situation - the device prints well from the computer, but copies badly:

First you need to calibrate the scanner (from a simple menu and from the service menu), reset the settings, but often this does not help. I get out of the situation in the following way - I replace the photoconductor in the cartridge with a photoconductor from HP 1100 (and not necessarily from HP1100), with a gear shift, of course. This procedure takes 5-10 minutes, the same copy of the device after replacing the photoconductor:

For Xerox 3100 MFP smartcards version 2.07t and below.
and cards OKI MB260/280/290 and Philips MFD 6020W, 6050W, 6080.

You can order / buy cards

Xerox 3100 cards work with all devices, BUT! Some Xerox 3100 machines with version 2.07m do not see them.

This will be fixed by flashing the device to next version 2.07t

The firmware can be obtained from the Xerox website, or downloaded from the link

For non-fax machine Xerox 3100S

Now our map is guaranteed to work.

There are no problems with OKI MB260/280/290 and Philips MFD 6020W, 6050W, 6080 printers.

How to restore the card.

ATTENTION If the card is modified (a diode is installed, see Fig.),

you don’t need to touch / solder the jumper. (Even if it exists) Flash the 24c04 microcircuit and the corresponding file and that’s it.
The card is ready to go again.

If the map is not completed

1. Remove the jumper.

2. Flash the chip 24s04

3. Restore the jumper.

4. Check item 3. call a contact.
Between points A and B. (should be 0)

Edited map.

From now on, all cards are sold modified.

In the 24c04 microcircuit, we fill in the firmware from the file that corresponds to this particular card.
File, take

There will be questions write.

We feed the smart card to the device.

Version 2.07t eats the smart card at any time.
Whether the MFP is locked or not.
Those. If you insert a smart card into a machine that is ready to print, it will prompt you to replace the toner immediately.

2.07m - works with the card only when it is already blocked by the toner and asks for the card.

After feeding the card, turn off the device and remove the right sidewall.

This is what the job site looks like after removing the right sidewall and metal screen.

you will need to modify two microcircuits.

Act one

Action two
Solder the jumper as shown in the figure.

Act Three
We bite the leg of the microcircuit.

Epilogue
We collect, check, record meter readings, print, look at the increased counters, turn off, turn on, look at the counters.
The readings returned to the state after revision.
ATTENTION!!! NOT TO ZERO!!!
But each time after turning off the power, the counters and % of the toner will be restored to the values after refining. Toner 99%, the number of sheets .., how many he printed there before revision. Basically, it doesn't matter anymore. It will work reliably, the card will no longer be asked.

After we restore the smartcard. processing the next device.

In the event of a breakdown of one or another equipment, many wondered which service center to choose. Now the list of companies that are engaged in repair is quite large and does not cease to grow. Therefore, the choice is quite large.

In this article I will try to give some tips on what you need (or do not need) to pay attention to when handing over equipment for repair. After all, the amount of money, time and nerves spent by you directly depends on the right choice.

1. Do not pay attention to the respectability of the premises for receiving equipment, the number of personnel and other trifles. You have to pay rent for the extra square meters, and the reception girls have to pay a salary. So the prices for services need to be somewhat overestimated. Of course, there are exceptions, but they are few. I do not urge to give your favorite laptop or printer to the basement to an incomprehensible person who is both a master, an inspector and a director of a company. But a small firm, in which one, but an intelligent person works at the acceptance, does not need to be swept aside immediately.

2. Specify whether you pay for diagnostics if the master could not repair the device or if you refused to repair it. The requirement to pay for diagnostics in case of failure is quite normal, the master spent his time working with your equipment. For example, I do not charge for diagnostics only if I cannot repair the device or the repair costs more than half the price of a new one.

3. Specify whether you pay for the spare parts ordered by the master in case the item could not be repaired. If yes - run from this service. You should not pay for the errors of the master, just because he did not correctly identify the breakdown and ordered the wrong spare part.

4. It will not be superfluous to inquire about the maximum repair time. Also stipulate that you would be contacted and announced the full cost before the start of the repair. Otherwise, you risk getting a bill, for example, 80% of the price of a new device. And, since the repair is over, it will be very difficult to prove anything.

5. Carefully read the receipt for acceptance for repair. If you have stipulated some conditions, but others are indicated in the receipt, your verbal agreements have no force. Also pay attention to the description of the defect, appearance and device configuration. If something is indicated incorrectly, this will enable the service center to return the device not in the configuration in which you handed it in, with mechanical damage or with another defect. For example, you gave a laptop with a defect "No sound", and the receipt says "Not working". The service center can give you your laptop, which no longer turns on.

6. It will not be superfluous to ask for a list of spare parts and their cost before the repair begins and compare with prices on the net. In this case, a markup of up to 40 percent is allowed. Many parts come out of warranty or may be damaged during installation. You also need to consider shipping costs. Therefore, some margin for the cost of the SC must be left. But if prices differ by 2-3 times - it's worth considering.

You can also look at reviews on the Internet about a particular service or find out which service centres available in your region. For example, drive into the search "Repair of printers in Minsk." Just do not forget, the negative will be necessary. It is necessary to evaluate not the presence of negativity, but its quantity.

In any case - make the right choice and good luck to you!

Greetings, dear visitors. Quite often I am asked how to extend the life of a Canon cartridge or print head.

Let me make it clear, first of all, we are talking about inkjet cartridges for Canon printers. Such as CL-511, PG-510, CL-446, PG-445, CL-441, PG-440 and others. That is, we are talking about ordinary inkjet printers and MFPs that have two cartridges. For example MP280, MP230, MG2440, E404, MG3540 and others. But this also applies to Canon printers using the print head and ink tanks.

Let's see how these printers print. I immediately warn you, I will state the principle of printing in a very simplified way.

The cartridge has an absorber - a sponge in which the ink is located. From this sponge, they are fed into nozzles (nozzles). Nozzles are tubes of very small diameter. Each tube contains one or more thermocouples. During printing, the thermal elements heat up, the ink boils (an air bubble is obtained) and “shoots” onto the paper. Again, I have described very simplistically.

What happens if there is no ink in the nozzles? Thermocouples will still get hot. And the ink in the nozzles is still used as a coolant. Overheating will occur - the tubes (nozzles) are deformed and / or part of the thermoelements will fail.

After that, the cartridge will print poorly in some colors, or will not print at all.

I think the answer to the question "How to extend the life of the cartridge?" obvious - it is necessary to ensure that there is always ink in it.

But what about those who refill cartridges? After all, after the first refueling, it no longer shows the ink level. There is a simple rule. If you need to print something, but you are not sure that you have enough ink - . It will not be worse. And, perhaps, this will save him.

If you expect that thanks to this advice, your cartridge will work forever - then you are mistaken. It will definitely burn. Why? Yes, because, according to the manufacturer, it is disposable (the statement does not apply to printheads using ink tanks). The main task of the manufacturer is to make sure that he is guaranteed to print the ink filled from the factory, and then, as quickly as possible, fails. Yes, the manufacturer wants to do business on consumables, he also wants to eat :)

But hopefully this article will help your cartridge last longer :)

Flashing the Xerox Phaser 3100 MFP printer is a service that implies a certain "crack" if you want to upgrade the software.

The purpose of the firmware is to prevent the printer from detecting the type (refilled or new) of the cartridge.

Is your printer showing "Out of Toner" and refusing to print? Refilling the cartridge did not solve the problem and the printer continues to display the message "The cartridge is empty. Replace with a new one."? This means that the lock has worked and the printer will not allow printing without resetting the counter.

There is an exit. We are flashing the Xerox Phaser 3100 MFP printer, thereby preventing it from identifying a new cartridge installed or refilled.

How to order firmware for the Xerox Phaser 3100 MFP printer

The service "firmware for the Xerox Phaser 3100 MFP printer" is performed by our specialists both in our office and on the road in Moscow.

Decided to bring the printer to us?
