CLX-3186N
The CLX-3186N joined Samsung's CLP/CLX stable in the early 2010s as a color laser multifunction printer. That letter means this version adds wired Ethernet networking compared with the standard CLX-3186. It was pitched squarely at home offices and micro-businesses looking for affordable color laser output.
This printer takes the CLT-K407S toner cartridges, including CLT-K407S for black and CLT-C407S for magenta. We keep compatible and genuine OEM CLT-K407S cartridges on the shelf, and orders leave our warehouse fast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward question: what cartridges does the CLX-3186N take?
Ordering for a CLX-3186N comes down to one code: CLT-K407S. When in doubt, pull the old cartridge out and compare its code to the new one — a match means it fits. Once you know CLT-K407S, you can reorder confidently for the life of the CLX-3186N.
First-time toner buyer: does the CLX-3186N accept both yield versions of CLT-K407S?
Choosing a yield for the CLX-3186N is about how often you want to change cartridges, nothing more technical. For light home use, the standard CLT-K407S may be plenty; a high-volume CLX-3186N owner will change cartridges far less often with high-yield. Start with your actual page count and let the math, not habit, choose the yield.
First-time toner buyer: what is the protective seal on my new CLT-K407S for the CLX-3186N — do I remove it?
Give the new CLT-K407S a gentle side-to-side rock before installing; it distributes the toner evenly for the CLX-3186N's first pages. Write the install date on the new cartridge's box flap to track CLT-K407S life on your CLX-3186N. Seal out, gentle shake, slide in — the whole ritual for the CLX-3186N.
