RECOMMENDED MATERIALS

Recommended Materials
DocuColor 40 was designed to provide optimum performance with
Xerox 24 lb Image Series LX, and Rank Xerox 90 g/m2Colotech.
Other materials can be used with varying degrees of success. Some
materials will run better if specific guidelines are followed.
When using materials shown with this symbol, you should expect
possibly higher jam rates than when using 24 lb Image Series LX, or
90 g/m2Colotech paper. Some of these materials will also cause
image quality problems (e.g. mottle) with certain images.
If you are uncertain of the ability of a specific material to perform well
in your DocuColor 40, purchase and test a small quantity of the
material to be sure image quality meets your expectations. Your
Xerox Sales or Service Representative may also have helpful
information on recommended materials.
For information regarding non-Xerox recommended products,
contact your Xerox Sales or Service Representative. Your
Representative can reference you to the Paper Advantage Series,
Part Number 610P63510.
