      EDC Mode uses a small piece of software on your laptop to communicate via the USB connection to the printer. Earlier levels of firmware allow use of EDC Mode. Later production allows only SmartPanel or Web Interface access.

      Don't overestimate the usefulness of EDC mode. If there is a system error you will not be able to use EDC mode. It's generally not very useful.

      You should have no difficulty finding the EDC software or SmartPanel software. SmartPanel is generally a better diagnostic tool. What sort of problem are you trying to diagnose? I've worked on a lot of the CLP-315/CLP-315W/CLX-3175FN series machines. =^..^=
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

              EDC won't help with that, neither will SmartPanel. SmartPanel will display "Paper Jam 1". The diagnostic modes for this machine are next to useless. The only way to test out that particular sensor is to meter out the 5vdc output from the exit sensor. You can try to bend a couple of paper clips to use as leads to reach pins #1 & #3 at the sensor or at the HVT connector. Anything over 3.2 vdc is a high reading, anything below 3.0 is a low reading. (Typically ranges from 3.6vdc high to 0.3vdc low)

              Or you could just trust me. I've changed over 75 of these sensors, and have never seen another cause. It is a lot easier to diagnose this problem on a CLP-315 (the printer version). You can pop the top off and pin out the sensor all you like. On the CLX-3175 its considerably harder to get to the pins.

              If you still want the software just google "EDC Samsung" or "Smart Panel Samsung CLX-3175". www.nodevice.com is a good source for most printer related software. =^..^=

                      It doesn't matter why. It won't help you test sensors. I hope I haven't mislead you. EDC software will not help diagnose a bad sensor, and may not function at all on later levels of firmware. Please don't waste your time with it. =^..^=

                          i removed all panel , left , right and top i see my fuser perfectly but i m wondering where is that ''Exit sensor'' ? i searched all over the web to try to find out a picture of that sensor ...nothing. Also, i ordered the part from Global Electronics ...
                          0604-001393 PHOTO-INTERRUPTER 1 $1.61and i hope it is the right thing....

                          thank you

                                      SAMSUNG CLX 3175 continuously looping reset

                                      After sending some multiple recipient fax, it suddenly froze, once restarted, it keeps looping a restart with following error messages:

                                      Warming up
                                      FAX SSM...
                                      Interna Error

                                      and again and again

                                      Any suggestion on how to reset it to factory defaults?

                                      Thanks, Guido

                                          If it's not booting up properly, you've got two possibilities, and the first one probably won't work.

                                          1) Upgrade or reload firmware. If it hasn't completed bootup it won't take firmware.
                                          2) Repl PBA main controller.
                                          If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                                          1) demonstrate that you've read the manual

                                              Thanks a lot, blackcat.
                                              Where can I dl the firmware to replace? And how do I put it in, via a USB stick or via usb cable and a software?

                                                  I have gotten firmware from the Samsung service portal. I'm guessing that you're not a dealer and don't have the proper login.

                                                  It may be available from the Samsung public site. Do a little Google searching. =^..^=

                                                      CLX-3175 Jam1, now Jam0

                                                      Blackcat

                                                      I have a printer that was getting a persistant Jam 1. I replaced the top set of rollers (recommendation by tech support) and now for some reason I am getting Jam0. I downloaded the service manual and it also pointed me towards this EDC software to try to issolate the bad part/sensor. I found this thread (very helpful) but I have a few more questions:

                                                      1) Any idea what could have happend that would cause my Jam 0 issue by replacing the top set of rollers?

                                                      2) What can I do to fix the Jam 0 issue. Could you post the PN of the sensor I should be replacing and a link to a tech ref that I will need to replace the sensor(s).

                                                      Thank you in advance!
