Document types

DOCUPRINT IPS SOLUTIONS GUIDE
You can create several different types of documents using AFP and
then print them on DocuPrint IPS printers. This section describes
some of these documents and how the Xerox value-added features
can be used.
Policy production
Insurance policies can be very complicated documents to produce.
You may choose to use different stocks of paper for different policies,
or even within the same policy. With the printer's ability to incorporate
multiple paper stocks in one policy package–including ID cards–in a
single run, the DocuPrint 4890 IPS or 4635 IPS printers allow you to
create such complicated policies with ease.
The computer system assembles the policy, generates the AFP data
stream, and prints it on a DocuPrint 4890 IPS printer, duplex or
simplex, with highlight color at up to 92 images per minute, at costs
comparable to black and white printing. These components combine
to produce a finished policy that can be shipped directly to
customers, agents, and the home office with little or no human
intervention.
EOBs with check
Handling insurance claims can be a costly and complicated process.
Sending an explanation of benefits (EOB) separately from a
reimbursement check can confuse the customer, which may lead to
customer service questions or complaints. To solve this problem, you
can create a document that integrates the EOB with a check by
extracting data from a host recordkeeping system and client
database from platforms such as an IBM S/390 or AS/400.
The AS/400 supports a variety of tools that create AFP forms and
documents. You can then transmit the fully-composed print streams
to the DocuPrint 96 MICR, 4635 MICR, and 180 MICR IPS printers
from the AS/400.
With a Xerox MICR printing system, you can securely generate
checks from blank check stock at the same time as you generate
EOBs or cover letters. Your application can issue "pulls" from the
various input bins for the appropriate stocks. For information on the
security features with IPS, refer to "Security features".
A variety of inline post-processing and finishing solutions are
available from the Xerox finishing partners, allowing you to mail these
documents in one envelope. These applications are supported on the
DocuPrint IPS printers via Document Feeding and Finishing
Architecture (DFA).
What effect does all this have on your business? Savings to your
company as a result of reduced check printing and storage costs and
improved customer satisfaction, which in turn reduces your customer
support costs!
