A Supplies
This appendix provides information and specifications for media
used with your Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS
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.
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 Helpful Facts about Paper, delivered with
your printer.

• 7 by 10 inches / 178 by 254 mm (with 7-inch kit option)

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.)
