5. Product differences/user considerations

Your Xerox 4635 Laser Printing System (LPS) has many unique standard and optional features which distinguish it from other Xerox LPS. Your 4635 LPS is capable of running most jobs created on other Xerox LPS, and can create jobs to print on other LPS. The ªLPS compatibility and comparisonº section of this chapter points out the unique qualities of your 4635 LPS, and helps you evaluate whether your 4635 LPS running software version 3A is a suitable backup printer for another Xerox LPS.

In order to ensure your jobs are created and produced with the highest quality, there are many things you need to consider. The ª4635 user considerationsº section of this chapter addresses such items.

This chapter contains the following major sections:

·LPS compatibility and comparison

·4635 user considerations.

LPS compatibility and comparison

The tables in the sections that follow identify what you need to consider when using your 4635 LPS for printing jobs created on other Xerox LPS with different software versions. They also point out those features which are unique to your 4635 LPS. The tables are not designed to address compatibility issues in an all- inclusive manner. Use them to make a high-level check when you want to know if your 4635 will process and print a particular job.

Each table addresses a different area of consideration from PDL commands to paper sizes and stocks. Often there is no need for any further checking because the tables provide the answer.

Other times they show you where further investigation is needed, or suggest specifically what you should check, either on your 4635 LPS or in the print job. You may need to refer to another manual in your 4635 LPS reference set for detailed guidance on running a particular type of job or altering a job to make it compatible with your 4635 LPS.

In order to evaluate whether your 4635 running software version 3A can be used as a suitable backup printer for a print job created on another Xerox LPS running a different software version, you must consider many factors. The following is a basic job compatibility checklist to help you begin the task of determining if a job will run on your 4635 LPS.

·Are font character sets required by the job loaded on the 4635 LPS?

·Are forms required by the job loaded on the 4635 LPS?
