2. Starting and stopping the system

This chapter describes how to start and stop your printing system. It addresses the proper methods of powering the system on and off, starting and stopping print jobs, shutting down the system, and dealing with power failures.

Powering on the IPS system

When you power on the IPS, it is important to perform all procedures in the correct order, including some tasks required before powering on.

Before powering on Before powering on the system, make sure the following has been done:

The Printer Controller and monitor are connected to dedicated power receptacles.

The printer cable is connected securely to the connector on the back of the Printer Controller. If the cable is not connected, make sure the printer and Printer Controller are powered off. Then connect the cable.

Caution: Do not connect the printer cable to the Printer Controller when either the Printer Controller or the printer is powered on; you could destroy the interface card in the Printer Controller.

Press the Power switch on the printer to the On position so that the printer powers on automatically when the Printer Controller is powered on. The Printer Controller automatically boots the IPS software when it is powered on.

Make sure all feeder trays are in Ready position: closed, with adequate paper loaded. Otherwise the IPS cannot initialize, and it reports “Not ready” to the host.

If this occurs, correct the tray condition, then reboot the workstation. (Refer to “Rebooting the Printer Controller,” later in this chapter.)

Always allow at least ten seconds between powering off the printer and powering it back on again. This pause prevents possible damage to the sensitive components in the processor.

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.
