This chapter provides an overview of the features and functions of the Xerox DocuPrint 4850 IPS and the 4890 IPS. The Xerox DocuPrint 4850 IPS and 4890 IPS are cut-sheet, duplex highlight color printers that are fully compatible with the IBM AFP architecture.
Page 12
Data is printed at production speeds: • 4850 IPS: Up to 50 impressions per minute • 4890 IPS: Up to 92 impressions per minute. A full-color graphical user interface on the Sun workstation enables interaction with the IPS.
Page 13
• Highlight color — The 4850 and 4890 IPS have the capability of printing in one highlight color plus black. A number of inks are available for adding color to documents: red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, brown, cardinal, royal, ruby, and violet.
Page 14
• 300 dpi resolution — The 4850 and 4890 IPS provide high print quality at 300 dpi resolution. They can receive data at 240 or 300 dpi; 240 data is converted to 300 by the controller.
Refer to the Xerox DocuPrint IPS/NPS Dual Mode Switching Instructions and other Xerox DocuPrint IPS documentation for more information. Sixth Sense is a unique suite of diagnostic tools that allows Xerox customer service engineers, analysts, and consultants to serve customers more effectively.
Printer controller — The printer controller (also called the system controller) accepts IPDS data from the host, processes the data, and sends the data to the printer engine using the IPS operating system. The controller provides the printer with print data and commands, and receives status information from the printer.

• Grain long (parallel with the long side of paper). Paper is usually fed into the printer with the long side as the leading edge. When you purchase paper, buy long-grain paper. Make sure the grain is parallel with the long side (long-grain) for the most reliable feeding and stacking.
Plan ahead and keep at least a day’s supply of paper in the same area as the printer to allow environmental stabilization prior to printing. For more detailed information on paper for Xerox printers, refer to Helpful Facts about Paper, provided with your printer. Figure A-1.

If the entry never changes status to “Printing,” either the queue or the entry is in a “Hold” state, or OS/2 is unable to contact the printer to initiate printing. If the entry enters a “Printing” state then disappears, but no output was produced on the IPS printer, check to see if the output was printed elsewhere.
TCP/IP for OS/2 and the IPS printer may improve printer performance. If the printer is on a LAN that also has a large number of other devices attached to it, the high levels of traffic on the LAN can cause printer speed degradation.
