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 the dry ink level gets 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, the Attention light turns a modulated yellow, 
and the printer eventually stops 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 bottle only when 

directed to do so by a message on the printer control console.
