Samsung SF-5100 Toner Cartridges
DOC-0307
First released in July 2001, Samsung SF-5100 fax machines are all based on the Samsung SF-5100 engine, which is a modified version
of the Samsung ML-1210. The SF-5100 runs at 6-8 ppm with a maximum resolution of 600 dpi.
The SF-5100 cartridge looks similar to the ML-1210 (Lexmark E210), but is different enough to warrant it’s own separate instruction.
One very interesting thing is that although the cartridges are physically different, if a Samsung ML-1210 (Lexmark E210) machine is
modified as shown in the ML-1210 instructions, the SF-5100 cartridge can be tested in it. For some of the physical differences between
the cartridges, see Figure’s 1 & 2. We will repeat the Lexmark E210 machine modification instructions at the end of this article.
As with the ML-1210 cartridges, these cartridges are unique in a number of different ways, the first is that the SF-5100 cartridge does
not have a wiper blade. The ML-1210 has a combination PCR cleaner and very flimsy wiper blade. The SF-5100 has the same PCR
cleaner but no blade. As these cartridges are designed to have a 100% transfer rate, this is not a problem. The used cartridges I have
seen have all had very clean PCR cleaners with no toner at all in the waste section. These cartridges do not have a drum cover, and
come new with a piece of heavy paper taped around the cartridge. (See Figure 3) The SF-5100 also does not use a seal. (All new
cartridges opened so far have shown some toner leakage that would have shown on any prints. Unlike the ML-1210, the SF-5100
cartridges do NOT have the "ONE WAY" security screws on the top cover.
