A.Paper and other supplies

This appendix provides information and specifications for the media you use with your Xerox DocuPrint 96, 4635, or 180 printer. Instructions for ordering supplies are also provided.

Consumable supplies (those that are depleted during operation of the system), such as paper, dry ink, developer, fuser agent, etc., must be ordered for your printer. It is important that an adequate supply of these items be on hand for installation, and that your supply be maintained afterwards.

Paper and other throughput stocks

The success of any print run is greatly dependent on the proper selection, care, and handling of the stock used.

Selecting paper

You need to select your paper carefully. If you do not use the proper paper, you increase the probability of paper jams and misfeeds. The stocks you use must meet the specifications set forth by Xerox for operability in the printer. For additional information about paper specifications, refer to Helpful Facts about Paper, delivered with your printer.
