Choosing Compatible Cartridges

Expert Tip
Before installing a new CLT-404S cartridge, gently rock it horizontally five to six times from side to side to distribute the fine toner powder evenly across the internal roller for uniform print density.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I resolve light or uneven print density when installing a new K404S or colour cartridge?
Gently rock the CLT-404S cartridge horizontally five to six times before removing the protective seal. This redistributes the fine toner powder inside after storage and ensures even density across the page from the very first print.
Do all four CLT-404S toners need to be replaced at the same time?
No. The Samsung Xpress SL-C480 monitors each colour channel separately, allowing you to replace individual K404S, C404S, M404S, or Y404S cartridges only as they empty.
What happens if a colour toner runs out while I am printing a Black and white document?
The Samsung Xpress SL-C480 requires all four toners to have active chip readings to operate, even when printing purely in Black. Keeping a full set or multipack on hand prevents unexpected printing stops.
