Network printing environment

The job status command (lpq) is available at client workstations unless your TCP/IP network communications utilities do not support it.

Xerox Client Software provides commands for listing the status of the job and for listing the queue. These commands are available for jobs submitted using Xerox Client Software.

AppleTalk provides job status information at the client workstation through the print monitor function. Workstation users can also determine the status of a virtual printer.

NOTE: Job status is also available by establishing a telnet connection to the Printer Controller to access the user interface from your workstation. Printer and additional status information is also available. You can also use a Web browser to obtain job status. See the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for more information.

Ethernet LAN

Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the printer over the Ethernet LAN using either the TCP/IP, AppleTalk using EtherTalk Link Access Protocol (ELAP), or Novell NetWare as the network protocol.

Regardless of printing or transmission protocol, the Ethernet connection to the Printer Controller must be compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard.

Token Ring

Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the printer over a Token Ring network using TCP/IP, Novell NetWare or AppleTalk network protocol.

Regardless of the printing transmission protocol, the Token Ring connection to the Printer Controller must be compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.5 standard.

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.
