FAQs
What is the page yield of this drum unit?
This unit provides a yield of up to 9,000 pages, depending on print density.
Is this a genuine Samsung product?
No, this is an Alpa compatible replacement designed to function effectively with Samsung printers.
Can I touch the drum surface during installation?
No, you should avoid touching the imaging roller to prevent oils from your hands from damaging the print quality.
What should I do if the drum is damaged?
If the photosensitive surface is scratched or dented, the unit will likely produce recurring marks on every page and should be replaced.
Will using this void my printer warranty?
In most regions, using compatible supplies does not automatically void your printer warranty, but it is recommended to check your printer manufacturer's specific terms.
Troubleshooting
Printer displays 'Replace Drum' error
The printer memory may still register the old drum's life; perform the reset procedure specific to your printer model via the settings menu.
Vertical lines appear on prints
This often indicates debris or dust on the drum surface. Gently clean the drum with a dry, lint-free cloth or run the printer's internal cleaning cycle.
Faint or light print quality
Ensure the toner cartridge is properly seated and check if the toner levels are low, as the drum requires sufficient toner to produce dark output.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the drum, power off your printer, open the front access door, and remove the existing drum unit by pulling the handle. Carefully slide the new Alpa MLT-R116 unit into the tracks until it clicks into place. Ensure your printer model is one of the following: SL-M2625, SL-M2625D, SL-M2626, SL-M2825, SL-M2825DW, SL-M2826, or SL-M2675.
Care Instructions: Keep the drum unit away from direct sunlight or bright office lighting, as the drum surface is photosensitive. Do not touch the green or blue imaging roller, as skin oils can cause permanent print defects. Always store the unit in a cool, dry place if not immediately installed.
