Electrical connection

The printer automatically detects the presence of the bypass transport and third-party finishing devices when it is powered up. The system also begins monitoring the interlocks (physical links) between the bypass transport and the finishing device. It then starts interface communications.

After a sheet of paper passes through the bypass transport to the external finishing device, the printer loses all record of it. Communications between the printer with bypass transport and the finishing device consist of command and status signals.

Command signals NPS/IPS can send three command signals to third-party finishing devices:

Cycle up: The printer is powered up and signals the finishing device to power up

Sheet exit: A sheet of paper has entered the finishing device

End of set: The last sheet of a print job set has been sent

Status signals The third-party finishing device can send five status signals to the NPS/IPS:

Sheet delivered: A sheet of paper has been successfully delivered to the finishing device.

Set delivered: A print job set has been successfully delivered to the finishing device.

Offline: The finishing device has no power or is not connected to the NPS/IPS.

Full: The finishing device is full and cannot accept more sheets.

Faulted: The finishing device is jammed or faulted and is not ready to accept sheets of paper

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.
