The Imaging Unit includes a single Imaging Unit. Only replace the Imaging Unit when told to replace the unit for a specific reason.

NOTE: The Imaging Unit Kit has a yield of approximately 60,000 pages; this can vary depending on type of use / coverage.

CAUTION: Do not use warm water or cleaning solvents to remove Toner (Dry Ink) from your skin or clothing. This will set the Toner and make it difficult to remove. If any Toner gets on your skin or clothing, use a brush to remove the Toner, or wash it off with cold water and mild soap.
