CLX-3160FN
As a color laser multifunction printer, the Samsung CLX-3160FN represented the CLP/CLX line in the mid-2000s. That letters mean this version adds fax and wired Ethernet networking compared with the standard CLX-3160. Its natural home was home offices and very small businesses taking their first step into color laser printing.
Its consumable is the CLP-K300A set — CLP-K300A in black, CLP-C300A in magenta, with cyan and yellow to complete the quartet. We stock compatible CLP-K300A toner as well as genuine Samsung OEM cartridges, and every order ships fast from Clever Supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Need some guidance — does heat damage toner cartridges meant for the CLX-3160FN?
Keep spare CLP-K300A cartridges sealed in their original packaging, stored upright in a cool, dry room — that is all the CLX-3160FN's toner asks for. For offices, a small locked cabinet keeps the CLX-3160FN's toner organized and accounted for. Two minutes of proper shelving protects your entire CLP-K300A investment.
Quick question: what happens if I ignore the imaging unit warning on the CLX-3160FN?
Replacing the imaging unit on the CLX-3160FN is a user-serviceable job — it slides out much like the toner cartridge. Note the installation date on the new imaging unit to track its service life on the CLX-3160FN. The CLX-3160FN's separate design is a cost advantage over the printer's lifetime.
Need some guidance — which lasts longer in a CLX-3160FN: standard or high-yield toner?
High-yield CLP-K300A is the same cartridge family as the standard — the CLX-3160FN cannot tell them apart physically. Heavy users of the CLX-3160FN often cut their per-page cost noticeably by moving to high-yield. Start with your actual page count and let the math, not habit, choose the yield.
