The Samsung SCX-4100 Toner Cartridge is a monochrome laser multifunction printer, and the toner cartridge used in this printer serves a critical role in producing printed documents. Here’s an overview of what the toner cartridge in the Samsung SCX-4100 does:

1. Toner Application: The primary function of the toner cartridge is to provide toner, a fine powder containing pigments and polymers. Toner is the medium used to create text and images on paper in a laser printing process.
2. Electrostatic Image Formation: In a laser printer, the imaging process begins with the creation of an electrostatic image on a photosensitive drum or belt. This is usually done by applying a laser to selectively discharge certain areas of the drum.
3. Toner Transfer: The  in the cartridge is attracted to the discharged areas on the drum, forming the desired text or image.
4. Transfer to Paper: The charged  on the drum is transferred onto the paper. The paper is given an opposite charge to attract and hold the toner particles.
5. Fusing: The paper with the applied toner passes through a fuser unit, which applies heat and pressure to melt and fuse the toner particles permanently onto the paper.
6. Final Print: The result is a printed page with the desired text or image.

When the toner in the Samsung SCX-4100 Cartridge is low or depleted, the printer typically provides a notification, and you’ll need to replace the cartridge following the manufacturer’s guidelines.
