Dry Ink (Toner)

The Xerox Nuvera EA Digital Production System uses EA dry ink only. The EA (Emulsion Aggregation) dry ink is a latex-based material that flows easier than conventional dry ink, resulting in less toner being used to provide the same density print. It offers a smoother, flatter laydown of dry ink surface that also creates a very high quality print.

 

Replacing the Dry Ink Container

When the machine has reached the limit set for the dry ink container, an alert will appear in the system messages portion of the user interface. Double-clicking the alert will launch a new window, giving details about the action needed.

The Xerox Nuvera EA Digital Production System has 2 dry Ink containers. Each container lasts up to approximately 200,000 images. You can replace the empty container while the system is running since approximately 10 minutes worth of dry ink is available for continued printing.

The procedure for changing the dry ink is the same for both containers.

The label on the inside of the left print engine door indicates the toner type to be used based upon the cap and label color. It also shows how to remove and replace a dry ink cartridge.

 

To replace a Dry Ink Container

Double-click the system alert to see the location of the Dry Ink Container, details on the action needed, and instructions on how and where to return the used Dry Ink Container.

NOTE: If you install an invalid dry ink cartridge, a fault code will ask you to "remove the invalid toner container".

1. Open the front access covers and identify the correct container.
2. Move the Dry Ink Container latch to the left.
3. Remove the used container by pulling the container outward. Keep the output hole of the old container pointing up to avoid spilling any residual dry ink.
4. Prepare the new container for installation. Before removing the orange seal, shake the container end to end five times. This mixes up any dry ink that may have settled.
5. Remove the orange seal.
6. Insert the new container. Make sure:
   • the intake core punctures the container's inner seal
   • the container is completely seated
   • the arrow on the container lines up with the arrow on the printer housing
7. Package the used container for return. Use the box and prepaid return label to return the old unit to Xerox.
