For Samsung 506 toner, identify both the colour letter and the final capacity letter. A quote for \u201c506 toner\u201d should state the exact cartridge, not leave you guessing which colour or yield is included.<\/p>\n

High-capacity 506L colour references<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

These are original-cartridge reference figures from the Samsung CLP-680 consumables manual hosted by HP<\/a>. They use ISO\/IEC 19798 testing; actual output varies. Do not assume every compatible or refilled cartridge has the same yield.<\/p>\n

506S and 506L are not the same capacity<\/h2>\n

The manual also lists standard-capacity 506S cartridges. Keep the final S or L when comparing products, and confirm the specification of the item quoted. CLT-506L is a family reference: K, C, M or Y identifies the individual colour.<\/p>\n
