How to resolve the blank pages printing issue for Samsung SF-650 printer?

Blank pages are usually due to a defective cartridge or clogged printhead.

• Check to ensure to remove any protective tape from the Samsung SF-650 toner cartridge. Most cartridges have a yellow or orange piece of tape that helps to cover the vent hole during transit. This tape must be removed before printing. In case of installing the cartridge with the tape still attached, toner/ink will not dispense from the cartridge, giving a blank page.
• Run a printhead cleaning: This is one of the easiest ways to solve a clogged printhead problem. The cleaning process usually takes a couple of minutes. Once cleaning is completed, print a diagnostic page. If the test pattern is crisp, then the paper can be printed. But if the quality is still poor, let the printer sit for about ten minutes before running a second cleaning, since this allows the ink/toner to soak on the printhead. It might take a couple of printhead cleanings to get a cartridge properly primed, especially if the machine has been sitting for a while.
