PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES

Other supplies

This section describes the supplies other than paper that are necessary for installation and afterward. Your sales representative will help you place your initial supply order.

Dry ink

Dry ink (also called toner) is the black powder which forms the image on the printed page. There are three cartridges of dry ink in each carton. You should keep at least one extra cartridge on hand at all times. The disposable cartridges are easily changed with no mess. The consumption rate of Xerox dry ink is approximately one cartridge per 60,000 pages. Use only dry ink that is specified for use in the 96, 4635, or 180 printer, as described in the consumable supplies table.

MICR dry ink MICR dry ink is the magnetic black powder which forms the image on the printed MICR document. There are three cartridges of MICR dry ink in each carton. The consumption rate of Xerox MICR dry ink is approximately one cartridge per 60,000 pages. Use only MICR dry ink in your 96/4635/180 MICR printer.

The dry ink used with the 96/4635/180 MICR system is designed for MICR printing and does not function well when used in non-MICR systems. The same procedure used for non-MICR printing systems is used to add the dry ink to the 96/4635/180 MICR printer.

Note: Dry ink (toner) yields are based on 7% area coverage. Your yield may vary, depending on coverage.

Caution: Use only MICR dry ink in the 96/4635/180 MICR printer.

Do not use standard dry ink. MICR dry ink cannot be reused.

Fuser agent

Fuser agent (the lubricant for the printer fuser) is a consumable item required by the 96/4635/180 printers. You should keep at least two boxes (each box contains one bottle) on hand for installation by the service representative. The consumption rate of Xerox fuser agent is approximately one bottle per 250,000 pages. For product information, refer to the consumable supplies table in this appendix.

Developer

Developer is not consumed by the printer but does have an effective life of approximately 1,000,000 pages per carton (600,000 per carton for MICR developer). Both kinds of developer are guaranteed by Xerox for 600,000 pages per carton. Developer is a required item and must be kept on hand.
