DOCUPRINT IPS OVERVIEW

Document types

You can create several different types of documents using AFP and then print them on DocuPrint IPS printers. This section describes some of these documents and how the Xerox value-added features can be used.

Policy production

Insurance policies can be very complicated documents to produce. You may choose to use different stocks of paper for different policies, or even within the same policy. With the printer’s ability to incorporate multiple paper stocks in one policy package–including ID cards–in a single run, the DocuPrint 4890 IPS or 4635 IPS printers allow you to create such complicated policies with ease.

The computer system assembles the policy, generates the AFP data stream, and prints it on a DocuPrint 4890 IPS printer, duplex or simplex, with highlight color at up to 92 images per minute, at costs comparable to black and white printing. These components combine to produce a finished policy that can be shipped directly to customers, agents, and the home office with little or no human intervention.

EOBs with check

Handling insurance claims can be a costly and complicated process. Sending an explanation of benefits (EOB) separately from a reimbursement check can confuse the customer, which may lead to customer service questions or complaints. To solve this problem, you can create a document that integrates the EOB with a check by extracting data from a host recordkeeping system and client database from platforms such as an IBM S/390 or AS/400.

The AS/400 supports a variety of tools that create AFP forms and documents. You can then transmit the fully-composed print streams to the DocuPrint 96 MICR, 4635 MICR, and 180 MICR IPS printers from the AS/400.

With a Xerox MICR printing system, you can securely generate checks from blank check stock at the same time as you generate EOBs or cover letters. Your application can issue “pulls” from the various input bins for the appropriate stocks. For information on the security features with IPS, refer to “Security features”.

A variety of inline post-processing and finishing solutions are available from the Xerox finishing partners, allowing you to mail these documents in one envelope. These applications are supported on the DocuPrint IPS printers via Document Feeding and Finishing Architecture (DFA).

What effect does all this have on your business? Savings to your company as a result of reduced check printing and storage costs and improved customer satisfaction, which in turn reduces your customer support costs!
