5.Inks

Dry ink is the black or colored powder that forms the image on the printed page. This chapter describes the procedure for adding dry ink to the printer. This chapter also describes the procedure to change the Customer Changeable Unit (CCU) that allows additional colors to be used.

Adding dry ink

You do not need to monitor the amount of dry ink remaining in the bottle at any given time; the system monitors it for you.

As dry ink levels get low, the system performs more frequent print quality adjustments. Eventually, when the dry ink level is too low, the system cannot perform print quality adjustments.

When the Attention light is a steady yellow and a message displays on the printer control console indicating that the printer is low on either black or color dry ink, add dry ink at your earliest convenience. If you do not add dry ink, eventually, the Attention light turns a modulated yellow, and the printer will stop printing. The printer will not resume printing until you replace the dry ink bottle. When the message BLACK DRY INK BOTTLE IS EMPTY or COLOR DRY INK BOTTLE IS EMPTY appears on the printer control console, the graphic display indicates the location of the dry ink bottle.

Note: Do not discard damaged, unused dry ink bottles. Return the bottles to Xerox for exchange (for credit in the USA).

Caution: To prevent dry ink spillage, remove the cartridge only when directed to do so by a message on the printer control console
