Xerox makes no guarantees or warranties, either expressed or implied, concerning the performance, use, consistency or replacement of non-Xerox branded media or throughput products. Customers should inquire directly of their paper distributor or manufacturer for any guarantees they may offer. When purchasing a
particular media product for the first time, customers are advised to purchase small quantities to insure that expectations are met. For guaranteed best performance, use digitally optimized paper and specialty media from Xerox Supplies.
The Non-Xerox Tested Media List contains non-Xerox branded paper and specialty media. Xerox has tested many media products on the Xerox iGen3 Digital Production Press and based on such testing have published this list of tested media products which may or may not, at the time of and based upon such testing, meet Xerox performance criteria. No subsequent testing
has been done and therefore no determination can be made as to whether or not such products would currently fail or pass Xerox performance criteria.
