Network printing environment

Xerox Client Software: Provides a print command for submitting jobs and specifying print options. The functionality of the print command is dependent on the TCP/IP software installed on the workstation.

Xerox DocuPrint Document Submission Client software for the Macintosh: Provides a graphical user interface for submitting jobs and specifying print options.

Xerox DocuPrint Print Submission software for Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000: Provides graphical user interfaces for submitting jobs and specifying print options.

Internet Printing Protocol for Windows 2000: Allows job submission over the Internet.

In many cases, the workstation can be set up for more than one method of job submission.

The application software provides the capability to print the document using a page description language (PDL). The application produces print data in one of the supported page description language formats, for example PostScript level 2.

Communicating with the network

After the print data has been prepared for printing and combined with print options data—either by the application software or by a print job submission utility—the print job is sent over the network.

The printer supports TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and Novell NetWare network communications protocols.

Client workstations require a network software utility that submits the job using the appropriate network protocol. This software must be installed and running for jobs to be submitted successfully to the printer. Once this software is installed, its operation is transparent to the user.

The Macintosh uses Printer Access Protocol (PAP) to communicate with one or more DocuPrint printers. For convenience, your internet may be divided into zones. A zone can be any logical grouping of individual workstations and printers. Your network administrator defines your zone when setting up the network.

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.
