1.Introduction to the graphical user interface

This chapter gives an overview of the graphical user interface (GUI) and provides instructions on how to use it to interact with the system.

With the user interface you perform operator and system administration tasks through a dynamic set of windows. Either a mouse or certain keyboard combinations are used to move between windows and select options. You enter commands through windows on the display screen.

The graphical user interface screen

After you power on the Host Channel Unit (HCU), if appropriate, and the Sun workstation, the Printer Controller monitor displays three windows:

IPS main window

IPS Console window

IPS Print Engine Monitor window.

The IPS main window is the largest window on the screen. The main window displays the current system setup, the current system status, and any jobs that are running. This window also provides access to menus and subwindows from which you can configure and operate your system.

The IPS Console window displays messages that warn you of Printer Controller problems. The window also indicates the host job name as it is started and received by the system. This window initially displays below the IPS main window on the left, but it can be moved where desired.

Note: High frequency service indicator (HFSI) messages may appear occasionally in this window. These messages do not indicate any problem, merely that you should advise your service representative to check the indicated areas during the next service call.

The IPS Print Engine Monitor window shows printer error messages, indicates the printer status and displays printer and DFA messages. (This window initially displays below the IPS main window on the right, but it can be moved where desired.)

Figure 1-1 shows these windows on the screen of the Printer Controller monitor.

4090 IPS, 4050 IPS specifications

The Xerox 4090 IPS and the Xerox 4050 IPS are two of the most advanced digital printing solutions offered by Xerox, catering to the needs of high-volume printing environments. Both models are designed to enhance productivity and deliver exceptional print quality, making them ideal for commercial printing houses, universities, and corporate environments.

The Xerox 4090 IPS, for instance, boasts a robust design capable of handling large print jobs with ease. Its standout feature is its high-speed printing capability, reaching up to 90 pages per minute. This speed is complemented by the advanced imaging technology that guarantees sharp text and vibrant images. The 4090 IPS utilizes a laser printing mechanism, which contributes to its ability to produce fine detail and consistency across various media.

On the other hand, the Xerox 4050 IPS offers slightly lower speed at 50 pages per minute but compensates with additional versatility. It supports a diverse range of media types, including heavy cardstock, envelopes, and labels, making it a perfect choice for businesses requiring varied print outputs. Both models feature a powerful processor and an extensive memory capacity, ensuring seamless print processing even for complex documents loaded with graphics and images.

Both printers come equipped with Xerox’s Intelligent Print System (IPS) technologies, which optimize print workflows for efficiency and manageability. This system allows for easy integration into existing network environments and supports various file formats, enhancing compatibility across different platforms. In addition, the user-friendly interface and touchscreen control panel simplify navigation and job management.

Security features are also a priority in both models. They include secure print functionalities and options for user authentication, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected during the printing process.

In summary, the Xerox 4090 IPS and 4050 IPS deliver outstanding performance through their high-speed printing, exceptional print quality, and adaptability to various media types. Coupled with innovative technologies designed for efficiency and security, these printers are well-suited for organizations needing reliable and high-quality printing solutions. Overall, both the 4090 IPS and 4050 IPS represent a significant advancement in digital printing technology, setting a high standard in the industry.
