Scanning and copying documents. The model uses MLT-D111S and MLT-D111L cartridges with a resource of 1000 and 1800 pages, respectively. The cost of the original from Samsung is from 3,500 rubles for the first model and from 4,500 rubles for the second. Considering that the cost of the printer itself is within 10 thousand, the question of finding a replacement for the original becomes relevant.

By analogy with inkjet printers The thought immediately arises of refilling the cartridge with ink. In case of laser printer it is a dry ink powder called toner. But manufacturers also provided for this option and installed a special chip on their devices that will block printing if you add toner without purchasing new cartridge. After all, a business selling consumables and related products is often more profitable than selling the equipment itself. The client will not be able to use his expensive printer if there is no ink in the cartridge.

But skilled technicians have found a way to bypass the manufacturer’s protection and deceive the printer by replacing the original one. software. This process is called flashing. You can flash or reflash the Samsung Xpress M2070 MFP by installing a special program and performing simple setup steps. You can do this once, after which you can easily refill with toner without any problems.

What is flashing and why is it needed?

If flashing is a replacement for factory software, then firmware is both the replacement process and the program itself installed on a computer. Often these terms are used as synonyms for the same procedure.

Instead of this process, the following methods are often used:

• replacing the chip at every refill: non-original cartridges for the Samsung 2070 are sold with a replaced chip, which the printer perceives as original. They are cheaper than the original, but more expensive than just toner.
• reprogramming the chip before refueling: similar to replacement, just using special means changes are made to the factory one. But not all cartridge models are supported and everything does not always work well, so the method is very dubious.

Thus, the firmware Samsung printer 2070 is the most profitable and in a simple way save on consumables. The main thing is to carry out the algorithm correctly, then in the future you will no longer have to think about the refueling problem.

IMPORTANT. Replacing the m2070 firmware will void the manufacturer's warranty. In addition, if performed improperly, the device may fail. If you are not confident in your abilities, you can contact a specialized workshop. Although there is no guarantee that experienced professionals work there.

Flashing procedure

The Samsung 2070 printer chip records data on the number of sheets printed. After a certain amount, it gives a signal to the device, and then blocks the ability to print files. Even if you refill the toner, the situation will not change. The firmware will allow you to break the connection between the m2070 and the chip and use it without hindrance even after many refills.

Firmware - special program, developed by specialists. It can be downloaded for free on the Internet, but it is better to order it for a fee, guaranteed for your m2070. The purchase will cost around 500 rubles. Not only the model of the equipment is important, but also what type this moment the firmware is installed, the chip number on the cartridge and serial number. Each device has its own chip number, and the correct firmware must be developed for a specific device. Otherwise, you risk being left without a printer.

The exact model can be found on the sticker on the back of the printer, and other information can be obtained from the configuration report. If the cartridge is already blocked, then the Samsung 2070 report can be forced to print using the following method.

1. You need to go to the service menu by quickly pressing the buttons in succession: “Menu, Back, Left, Right, OK, Stop, Menu.”
2. Go to the “Report”, “Configuration” menu, select “Consumption information”. materials."

The m2070 firmware version will be in the “System firmware version” line, and the chip number in the “Serial Number” in the form “CRUM-ххххххххххх”, where instead of crosses there is a set of numbers. This is the information you need to purchase Samsung 2070 firmware.

After receiving the purchased file (or downloaded for free), you need to enter the forced firmware mode:

1. With the device turned off, press and hold the Stop button.
2. Turn on m
3. When the Download mode message appears, release and immediately press Stop again.
4. The Wait mode message should now appear.

The archive with the firmware will contain two files: one has a name starting with one, and the second is called usbprns2.exe. Do the following:

1. Drag the first file onto the second one with the mouse.
2. A black window will open and flashing the Samsung m2070 printer will begin.
3. Wait for it to reboot.
4. You can remove the chip from the cartridge; it is no longer needed, but do not throw it away, as it may be useful if any problems arise with the device.

If Samsung firmware 2070 is successful, it will no longer show the ink level, more precisely, it will always be 100%. You will become aware of the toner running out when printing documents: white streaks will appear and the quality will deteriorate. Thus, there is no longer a need to buy expensive cartridges from Samsung. If the cartridge suddenly becomes blocked again, then most likely you will have to reflash the chip on the MFP board, which requires special skills and equipment. But, if you did everything correctly, such a problem should not arise.

Printing reports on an unlocked MFP

Let's figure out how to print such a report when your The MFP has not yet been blocked.

To do this we go to [ MENU] > [System settings] > [Reports] > [Configuration] > [Seal] > [YES]

In the received report, look for the line System Firmware Version - this is the version of the software installed on your device. In the example, the line we need is highlighted in yellow!

To print a report on consumables - zlet's go to [ MENU] > [System settings] > [Reports] > [Consumables] >[Seal] > [YES]

In the received report, look for the line Toner information > Serial No > CRUM - In the example, the line we need is highlighted in yellow!

Printing reports on a locked MFP

Printing reports is possible from the service menu; to do this, press the following key combination on the control panel of your MFP -

[ Menu ] [ Back ] [ Left ] [ Right ] [ OK ] [ Stop ] [ Menu ]

1. C download the firmware file or create it using a special firmware generator.

2. Connect your MFP via USB cable to your computer.

3. Install the driver for your device (you don’t have to install it, just cancel the installation process, it is important that the computer “sees” your MFP)

4. The first stage drag the file from the archive with the firmware First to bootloader usbprns2, the update process will start (the display on the printer will change)

The process of flashing the Samsung Xpress M2070 MFP has begun!

5. Wait for the automatic reboot.

6.Second stage, you need to enter your MFP into forced mode, to do this you need to turn it on with the Stop/Reset button held down, if you successfully enter the forced mode, the display will show - Waitimage

7. Now drag the file from FIX firmware for bootloader usbprns2

8. Wait for the automatic reboot.

If the MFP itself rebooted and became ready, congratulations to you!

You managed to reflash your MFP yourself, all that remains is to seal the chip on the cartridge and you no longer have to worry that your faithful friend will one day be blocked and stop working, and it’s also important to forget about the expensive replacement of chips!

Black and white laser MFPs Xpress M2070 went on sale in 2013. The MLT-D111S cartridge is used (the declared resource is only 1000 pages), the cost of which is from 2600 to 2900 rubles. The cartridge included in the kit (starter) is, as usual, only half full; in reality, after 300-400 printed pages, the “Replace cartridge” error appears. To clear this error and continue printing you need to reflash the M2070.
