How to Fix Transfer Belt Error on Samsung CLX-2160 Printer?

To address the transfer belt error on your Samsung `CLX-2160`, start by performing a hard reset. You can do this by pressing the Menu button followed by the sequence #, 1, 9, 3, 4, and then the Menu button again. Make sure to enter this sequence quickly. If successful, you should see the Tech Mode menu appear. From there, navigate to the Data Setup option and look for Clear Counts. Enter the password `1934`, then select Transfer Belt and press OK. After completing this, power off the printer for about 20 seconds and then turn it back on. If the error persists, check for any debris or scraps of paper that might be lodged in the paper path, as these can sometimes cause issues. Since you've already replaced the transfer belt, ensure that it is installed correctly. If it’s not seated properly, it can trigger the error message. Carefully remove the transfer belt from the drum unit and reinstall it, making sure it’s aligned correctly. If you’ve done all this and the error still appears, it might indicate a deeper issue, such as a defective transfer belt or a blown resistor in the unit. If you suspect a resistor issue, you may want to look at a video tutorial that can guide you on locating and checking that part. Keep in mind that if the transfer belt count still shows zero after these steps, it may be worth consulting a professional technician for further diagnosis.
