XEROX DOCUPRINT 4850/4890 IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
A.
This appendix provides information and specifications for the media
you use with your Xerox DocuPrint 4850 or 4890 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.
The success of any print run is greatly dependent on the proper
selection, care, and handling of the stock used.
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 your System Overview Guide and to Helpful
Facts about Paper, both delivered with your printer.
Your 4850 or 4890 printer accepts the following standard size cut-
sheet papers:
•
US Letter: 8.5 by 11 inches / 216 by 279 mm
•
US Legal: 8.5 by 14 inches / 216 by 356 mm
•
A4: 8.27 by 11.69 inches / 210 by 297 mm
Use a good quality, xerographic-grade paper. For best results, use
paper that is 20-pound or 80 gsm (grams per square meter) bond,
xerographic grade. Xerox 4024 Dual Purpose Paper provides optimal
performance in the printer. Refer to the consumable supplies table,
later in this appendix.
Use paper within these parameters:
•
Lightest: 20-pound or 80 gsm bond
•
Heaviest: 110-pound or 200 gsm index.
