Remanufacturing the <strong>Samsung</strong> Xpress <strong>M3015</strong>DW<br />
<strong>MLT</strong>-<strong>D118</strong>S toner cartridge<br />
By Mike Josiah and the Technical Staff at Uninet<br />
The <strong>Samsung</strong> Xpress <strong>M3015</strong> series of printers are based on a 30ppm, 600dpi engine. The first page out is<br />
stated to be under 8.5 seconds, and all “W” models so far come with Wi-Fi, <strong>Samsung</strong> Mobile print, Google Cloud<br />
Print and NFC (near-field communication) features built in.<br />
All machines released so far come standard with 128MB<br />
memory and have a duty cycle of 12,000 pages per month. There<br />
are two cartridges in this engine - the toner (<strong>MLT</strong>-<strong>D118</strong>S/L) and<br />
the drum cartridge (<strong>MLT</strong>-R116). The standard yield toner (S) is<br />
rated for 1,200 pages, and the high yield (L) is rated for 4,000<br />
pages. The drum unit is rated for 9,000 pages.<br />
The toner cartridges come with an orange plastic<br />
protector on them. It’s highly recommended that you save and<br />
re-use the OEM cover until aftermarket covers become available<br />
(see Figure 1).<br />
