Model and driver source
This guide is for the multifunction printer model Samsung SCX-3405W. The download button opens the official Samsung support page in this window. The manufacturer’s page is authoritative for the available driver packages and their current compatibility.
Check the SCX-3405W configuration and connection
SCX-3405W provides monochrome printing, copying and flatbed scanning over Hi-Speed USB 2.0 or 802.11b/g/n wireless. W lacks wired Ethernet, fax, ADF, USB-memory printing and automatic duplex. The shared manual limits manual duplex to Windows. Do not apply FW/HW menus, phone-line or document-feeder jam procedures. The PC must reach the printer on the same approved LAN; a matching SSID/radio band alone does not establish connectivity. Model features pp10–12
Current files: distinguish Windows 10 and 11
On 12 October 2026, the exact HP SCX-3405W page selected for Windows 10 (64-bit) lists SCX-3400 Series Print Driver V3.13.12.02:38(24.9 MB, 17 July 2019), No Installer V3.13.12.02:38(20.6 MB, 28 June 2019) and Scan Driver V3.21.60.09(23.2 MB, 1 September 2017) separately. Distinguish print and scan components.
After actually switching to Windows 11, the observed list showed only three software entries: Set IP, Easy Printer Manager V2.00.01.36 and Easy Wireless Setup V3.70.18.0; the print/scan files above were not displayed. An OS selector or utility listing is not a print/scan support guarantee. Do not assign Windows 10 files to Windows 11 or ARM without confirmed requirements for that OS, CPU and connection. Exact HP downloads
The exact Samsung page separately lists older Windows/Mac/Linux files and a security patch. Its displayed print version V3.13.12.02:36 differs from the filename ending .38 and HP’s displayed .38; preserve each source’s label. Host utilities, patches and firmware are not replacement drivers. Current macOS/Linux/ARM compatibility and actual installation were not verified. Samsung model listing
- Connect USB directly when the selected installer requests it; check a sound data cable, port and selected queue.
- For wireless, compare current IP, permitted router access, PC port and actual connectivity. Do not defeat guest-network isolation or disable the firewall generally.
- Test PC printing, flatbed copying and scanning separately, comparing with device reports to narrow the failing path.
Three Stop/Clear device reports
Type A panel p25 documents Stop/Clear held about 2 seconds until slow Status blinking, then released for Configuration Report; about 4 seconds until fast blinking, then released for W’s Network Configuration Report; and about 6 seconds, then released for Supplied Information Report. These are different reports, using Stop/Clear rather than WPS. Do not prescribe Menu → System Setup → Report on W’s panel. Exact buttons/reports p25
Compare the report’s current IP with the PC print port. Shared p141 gives 4–5 seconds for non-LCD devices, while the W panel p25 specifies about 4 seconds/fast blinking; use the actual button and indication. Reports can contain IP/MAC and a WPS PIN, so keep them private. If reports/copies fail too, start with device/media/toner; if only PC printing fails, check queue, connection and driver. Shared network report
Ten indicator groups and first checks
| Indicator | Meaning/check |
|---|---|
| Status off | Offline indication; check power, actual connection and PC status. |
| Status green blinking | Receiving data/printing, not automatically an error flash. |
| Status green on | Online/usable indication; separately confirm the job result. |
| Status red blinking | Minor-error wait or low toner; read the PC Printer Status/Smart Panel detail. |
| Status red on | Multiple causes include toner life, cover, no paper, jam or major error; not solely a driver fault. |
| Toner orange blinking | Low toner; prepare a replacement. This is separate from red Status. |
| Toner orange on/off | On means near estimated end-life; off indicates normal capacity. Estimates depend on conditions. |
| WPS blue | Blinking means connecting, on means connected, off means disconnected from wireless; separate from USB printing. |
| Power blue/Eco green | Power blue on means power save; off can mean ready or powered off. Eco green indicates Eco mode. |
| Front/Back ID-copy indicators | These indicate which ID-card side to place on the flatbed, not wireless/driver fault codes. |
Distinguish the numeric display from LCD message tables
P25 describes Type A’s numeric display as the copy-count display. P101 explicitly excludes SCX-340x/340xW from the character-error-message feature and directs users to PC Printer Status/Smart Panel. Do not map F/FW LCD text, numeric faults or ADF actions onto W’s numeric panel. Record the actual PC message, lights and failing job; refer persistent faults to official support. No W numeric-fault table was invented from these sources. W character-message exclusion
Eight print-failure cause checks
| Cause | SCX-3405W check | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Feed, jam or cover | Check media/front cover and actual pp95–97 path; do not use ADF-original-jam steps on W. | Paper |
| Toner level or seating | Compare orange Toner/red Status with actual compatible-cartridge seating and quality. | Indicators |
| Wireless discovery or current IP | Compare network report, PC port and router access; do not prescribe wired-LAN installation. | Wireless |
| Paused queue or first failed job | Common PC checks: actual queue, first failed job and USB data cable/port. | Queue |
| Wrong model, OS or print file | If device output works but only PC printing fails, match SCX-3405W, actual OS/CPU and the package requirements. | Open this model’s driver guide |
| Faint output, black lines or blank page | Compare Configuration/copy/PC output, media, toner and Eco/toner-save settings. | Quality |
| Printing works, scanning fails | Check flatbed original, selected scanner, scan package, PC registration/activation and connection separately. | Scanning |
| Device output also fails or faults recur | Preserve actual indication and report/copy results for official service; no blanket firmware/factory-reset prescription. | Fault scope |
Feed and interior jams use different paths
P95 illustrates the tray path; pp96–97 show the interior path. Remove slowly without tearing and avoid hot fuser areas. Place originals individually on the flatbed; inaccessible or recurring jams need service. Actual jam paths pp95–97
Separate WPS connection from printed reports
Where the router permits WPS PBC, p161’s non-LCD method holds WPS about 2–4 seconds until Status blinks fast, then uses the router PBC button. The wait is up to 2 minutes; WPS stays on after connection. This differs from Stop/Clear report printing. A long WPS press while already connected can disconnect the network, so do not repeat it indiscriminately. Use the approved setup method where WPS is not permitted. Non-LCD WPS procedure · Disconnect conditions
Compare device output with PC quality settings
If reports/copies are faint too, compare media, toner and contamination in the glass/print path. If only PC output is faint, check that queue’s Eco/toner-save/resolution settings. A life estimate does not explain every fault; compare actual patterns/PC status and use the manual’s power-disconnect/cooling safety procedure for cleaning. Print-quality checks
W’s Scan to key, PC registration and separate scan file
Place the original face down on the flatbed and select SCX-3405W/USB or network in the actual scan application. P24/64 describe W’s Scan to key; check activation, profile and save path in Easy Printer Manager → Switch to advanced mode → Scan to PC Settings. W lacks the Menu/OK character-LCD procedure, so do not copy F/FW menus. Compare registered PC ID/password where that setup needs them. The documented WIA method is limited to Windows USB. A print driver or Windows 11 utility listing does not guarantee current scan support. W Scan to/PC activation · PC scan settings · WIA USB requirement
