*Average A4-/letter-sized page count based on 5% coverage of individual colors on each page. Usage conditions and print patterns may cause results to vary.

**Image counts based on one color on each page. If you print documents in full color (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black), the life of this item will be reduced by 25%.

To purchase replacement parts, contact your Samsung dealer or the retailer where you bought your printer. We strongly recommend that items be installed by a trained service professional, except for the toner cartridges (see 5.3), the imaging unit (see 5.4), and the waste toner container (see 5.6).

If you use refilled toner cartridges, print quality may be reduced.
