1.System overview

This chapter introduces the DocuPrint NPS/IPS printing system and describes its major and optional components. It also provides information on how highlight color is used in printed documents.

Functional overview of the NPS/IPS

The NPS/IPS printers support the processing and printing of PDL and ASCII jobs from network workstations, as well as IPDS jobs from an IBM host. Supported PDL formats are PostScript levels 1 and 2, HP PCL 5c, HP PCL 5e, and TIFF.

Your organization may print only IPDS jobs, network PDL jobs, or jobs from both environments.

DocuPrint 4850, 4890, and 92C NPS/IPS printers support:

Printing in various shades and tints of a highlight color plus black

Printing in highlight color (black plus one color) at a rated speed of up to 50 ppm at 300 dpi (4850); 92 ppm at 300 dpi (4890); and 92 ppm at 300 or 600 dpi (92C)

Printing simplex and duplex

Processing and printing of network PDL jobs and IPDS jobs without soft boot to switch modes

Multiple weights, sizes and types of paper (refer to the “Supplies” appendix for details)

Optional high-capacity feeder

Optional high-capacity stitcher/stacker

Optional bypass transport for enhanced finishing and output to third-party finishing devices (4850 and 92C)

Sixth Sense, a diagnostic tool that provides system assessment and problem analysis.

The Xerox 4890 is a high-performance digital printing system designed for large volume printing environments, specifically targeting commercial printers and in-plant print operations. This machine is renowned for its exceptional output quality, speed, and versatility, making it a popular choice for businesses that require reliable and efficient printing solutions.

One of the standout features of the Xerox 4890 is its impressive print speed, capable of producing up to 90 pages per minute (ppm). This rapid output allows organizations to meet tight deadlines and handle large print jobs with ease. Its advanced digital imaging technology ensures that every print job is delivered with exceptional clarity and detail, producing sharp text and vibrant graphics that meet the expectations of even the most discerning clients.

The 4890 utilizes a range of innovative technologies that enhance its functionality and ease of use. One such technology is the Integrated Print Server (IPS), which allows for seamless integration into existing workflows and simplifies the management of print jobs. The IPS is designed to handle various file formats and supports advanced printing features such as variable data printing, which is essential for personalized marketing materials and communications.

Additionally, the Xerox 4890 is compatible with the Network Print Server (NPS), enabling organizations to expand their printing capabilities. The NPS facilitates network connectivity, providing users with easy access to the printer from multiple devices across the office or production floor. This promotes collaboration and streamlines the printing process, making it easier to manage jobs efficiently.

The Xerox 4850 also complements the 4890 by offering similar functionality in a slightly different print format. Both machines are designed with scalability in mind, enabling businesses to expand their printing capabilities as their needs evolve. They support a variety of media types and sizes, allowing for diverse printing applications ranging from brochures to banners.

In summary, the Xerox 4890, along with its complementary models like the 4850, provides a comprehensive solution for organizations seeking high-quality, high-speed printing capabilities. With its advanced features, innovative technologies, and robust performance, it stands out as an ideal choice for businesses aiming to enhance their print production efficiency while delivering exceptional output quality.
