DOCUPRINT IPS OVERVIEW
DOCUPRINT IPS SOLUTIONS GUIDE
For this application, you could use the DocuPrint 4850 IPS or 4890 IPS printers. These printers accept the AFP IPDS data stream and print the policies, duplex or simplex, normal or tumble, with full-pagehighlight color, even in stapled booklets, at up to 92 images per minute. The printed policies are then ready for immediate processing by automated distribution equipment
