Are your Xerox® Supplies genuine?
Look for the Xerox Authentication Label.

Don’t be fooled.
Sellers of counterfeit or tampered supplies often confuse
or mislead you into thinking you are buying genuine
Xerox® supplies. Offers or advertisements that appear too
good to be true, most likely are.
Don’t be negatively impacted by inferior print quality, damage
to the printer, additional service costs and potential health and
safety risks.
Is it genuine Xerox®?
Look for a special security label. This authentication label
is a small, Xerox®-branded holographic label used to verify
the authenticity of the product as “genuine Xerox®”. It has a
unique serial number and multiple layers of security to
prevent counterfeiting.
