Inks

Dry ink is the black powder that forms the image on the printed
page. This chapter describes the procedure for adding dry ink to
the printer.

Adding dry ink

When the printer is low on dry ink, the message DRY INK
BOTTLE IS EMPTY appears on the printer console. The graphic
display indicates the location of the dry ink bottle.
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.
If you do not add dry ink, the printer eventually stops printing. It
does not resume printing until you replace 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 console.
To add dry ink:
1. Open the printer doors and locate the dry ink area on the left
side of the printer.
