SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Specifying the maximum simplex value

This section describes the procedure for specifying the number of simplex pages that the system prints in duplex mode before clearing the paper path and switching to simplex mode. This capability allows you to switch between duplex and simplex mode within a single job, with less degradation to the throughput speed.

When the IPS is printing in duplex mode and encounters a simplex page, the system may need to clear the paper path of all duplex sheets before changing to simplex mode. This clearing process may delay throughput. You can postpone this clearing process by printing simplex pages in duplex mode and specifying the number of pages, after which the system changes to simplex mode. Until the number of simplex pages you specify is sent, any simplex pages are printed in duplex mode with a blank page on the back, thus providing the appearance of simplex.

Note: When you print simulated simplex, the blank back pages are counted as billable pages by the billing meter.

Note: The print engine also performs simulated simplex independent of the IPS system controller. Blank back pages created by the print engine are not counted as billable pages by the billing meter. The print engine performs simulated simplex when the job changes plex every six pages or less.

To specify the maximum number of simplex pages to be printed in duplex mode:

1.From the Configuration menu, select Maximum Simplex. The Maximum Simplex window displays.

Figure 4-3.Maximum Simplex window

2.Enter the value for the maximum number of simplex pages you want printed in duplex mode and press <ENTER>, or click the arrows to select the value. The range of values is 0 to 20 pages. The default is 10; the recommended value is 10.

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.
