Compatibility with the 4850 LPS enables you to use your
•
4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS as a suitable backup for your 4850
HighLight Color LPS. This allows you to use your
4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS to process and print highlight color
jobs in black and shades of gray.
Limited compatibility with the 4135 LPS enables your
•
4050/4090/4450/4650 to process the data stream from your
4135 LPS. When your 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS encounters a
4135 unique feature, it ignores the feature and processes the
job. A message at your system controller terminal notifies
you of the unsupported feature and gives you the
opportunity to continue or end the task.

Electronic printing is the integrated production of documents on
demand, using digitally stored documents and graphic images,
computerized composition techniques, and electronic printing
systems such as the 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS.
Electronic printing allows you to use a variety of printing
applications and produce complex documents ranging from
books and lengthy reports to invoices, statements, forms, and
listings.
Electronic printing has several important advantages over
traditional printing methods:
Minimizes the use of preprinted forms in listings, statements,
•
invoices, and so on. You can create forms electronically,
using a wide range of design elements such as lines, boxes,
graphic images, and a variety of fonts. You can then
automatically merge the forms with variable data.
Electronic printing lets you create documents and forms in a
•
shorter time with greater control over the result, including
the ability to make last-minute changes.
By giving operators and programmers the capability to
•
program the print job processing, repetitive jobs are handled
easily and consistently, and the output potential of the
printer can be maximized.
The programming capability, combined with a variety of
•
hardware configurations, makes it possible to produce
documents with cover-to-cover control. For example, you
can print different pages of a report on different paper
stocks, and the output can be collated or stapled. Electronic
printing eliminates the separate handling and finishing
process of traditional printing.
