Black and white laser MFPs Xpress M2070 went on sale in 2013. Used cartridge MLT-D111S (claimed yield only 1000 pages), which cost from 2600 to 2900 rubles. The cartridge from the kit (starter) is, as usual, only half full, in reality, after 300-400 printed pages, the "Replace cartridge" error appears. To remove this error and continue printing you need to reflash the M2070.

Instructions for firmware M2070

1. After paying for the fix firmware, you will be sent a link to the archive. Download it (~15 Mb) and extract it to any folder. Make sure the MFP is turned on and has a stable connection.
2. First you need to flash the file, in the name of which the word First. To do this, in the normal mode, drag the file to the usbprns2.exe loader with the mouse. A black window will appear with the inscription Downloading and dots, or it may appear and immediately disappear, this is normal.
3. The display of the MFP will indicate the process of downloading the firmware. Wait for 100%, then the M2070 should automatically reboot (the display will show "Initializing" and you will hear the engine running).
4. After the reboot, turn off the MFP and turn it on in forced mode, for this:
   • Hold the "Stop" button and, while holding it, press the power button.
   • When the display shows "Download Mode Press Stop Key" - quickly release the "Stop" button and press once again.
   • "Wait Image" will appear on the screen.
5. When the display says "Wait Image" - drag the file whose name starts with FIX (Second) onto usbprns2.exe and wait for the automatic reboot.
6. After the next reboot, remove the cartridge and seal the chip (there are four yellow contacts on the right side) with ordinary tape. Install the cartridge and test printing documents from the computer. If it prints, and the "Status" indicator is green - congratulations, the firmware process has been completed successfully!

Scanning and copying documents. The model uses cartridges MLT-D111S and MLT-D111L with a resource of 1000 and 1800 pages respectively. The cost of the original from Samsung is from 3500 rubles for the first model and from 4500 rubles for the second. Given 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 immediately the thought of refilling the cartridge with ink arises. In case of laser printer it is dry ink, a powder called toner. But manufacturers also foresaw this option and put a special chip on their devices that will block printing if you add toner without buying 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 native software. This process is called flashing. You can flash or reflash the Samsung Xpress M2070 MFP by installing a special program and executing simple actions by setting. You can do this once, after which you can easily refill the toner without any problems.

What is flashing and why is it needed

If flashing is a replacement for factory software, then firmware is both a 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:

• replacement of the chip at each refueling: non-original cartridges with a replaced chip are sold for Samsung 2070, which the printer perceives as native. They cost less than the original, but more expensive than just toner.
• reprogramming the chip before refueling: similar to replacement, just using special tools, changes are made to the factory one. But not all cartridge models are supported and not always everything works well, so the method is very doubtful.

Thus, Samsung 2070 printer firmware is the most profitable and in a simple way save on consumables. The main thing is to correctly execute the algorithm, then in the future it will be possible not to think about the problem of refueling.

IMPORTANT. Replacing the m2070 firmware will void its manufacturer's warranty. In addition, in case of inept execution, it threatens to damage the device. 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 the number of printed sheets. 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 refueling.

Firmware - special program developed by experts. It can be downloaded for free on the Internet, but it's better to order it for a fee for your m2070. The purchase will cost around 500 rubles. Not only the model of the equipment is important, but also what this moment installed firmware, chip number on the cartridge and serial number. It is the chip number that each device has its own, and the correct firmware needs to 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 the rest of the information can be obtained from the configuration report. If the cartridge is already blocked, then the Samsung 2070 report can be forced to print in the following way.

1. Need to go to service menu by quickly pressing the buttons in sequence: "Menu, Back, Left, Right, OK, Stop, Menu".
2. Go to the menu "Report", "Configuration", select "Information on flow. 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-ххххххххх", where instead of crosses there is a set of numbers. It is this information that is needed to purchase the Samsung 2070 firmware.

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

1. With the machine turned off, press and hold the Stop button.
2. turn m
3. When the message appears download mode, 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.
2. A black window will open and the Samsung m2070 printer will start flashing.
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 come in handy if there are any problems with the device.

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

How to flash samsung printer Express

Samsung Xpress is the latest series of printers from this manufacturer, which was released in 2016. In the manufacturing process of this series of printers, innovative technologies and modernized equipment were used. However, despite all the advantages of these devices, any user may need to flash the printer of this series.

Printer firmware is not a very complicated matter, but the manufacturers of this equipment recommend that you do not carry out such a procedure on your own, but contact Samsung printer service centers, which employ qualified craftsmen.

How to flash a Samsung Xpress m2020, m2070, m2070w printer at home

1. Find out the serial number of the printing device.

You can find this information on the back cover of the printer. Also, this data is in the report: on the control panel, press the Menu button and arrow > to the left, find the system settings (System Setup), press Ok. Use the button > to the left to find the report (Report). Next, confirm the choice Ok and use the left button > find the configuration or information about consumables (Configuration or Supplies Info). By clicking Ok, you will print the report you need.

If you can’t figure it out on your own, then leave a request for repair by going to the site where Samsung printer repair services in Moscow are listed.

2. The next thing to do is to determine the version of the current firmware. We can do this by printing a machine configuration report. The line you need will be called "Firmware version".

3. Go to the manufacturer's website in the item "Support". In this section you will find the updated firmware version. Attention: at this stage of work, you need to be extremely vigilant and beware of virus applications. When you find desired program, you need to download it, and then unzip the folder.

4. Double click the mouse to open the startup file for changing the serial number Change Serial Number (SN). In this program, you need to specify the serial number of your printer.

5. When all the data is successfully updated, click the "OK" button, then close the application and restart the printing device.

7. If the changes were successful, we return to the archive again and take the firmware file in it latest version and move it to usbprns2.exe by drag and drop. After this procedure, you will see a window in which the process of flashing the printer will be displayed. It is important not to use or manipulate the printer during the update period.

8. After rebooting the device, in order to finally confirm the firmware, we will need to output the configuration report again.

It must be borne in mind that you need to ask the printer or MFP again with the original chip in the cartridge with a toner level of at least zero.

Check if your printer is working properly.
