4850/4890 IPS hardware features
The 4850/4890 IPS systems provide numerous features that can be
accessed with standard AFP compatible software products. The
following features are available and can be enabled or configured
using the graphical user interface on the printer controller:
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.
When a colored ink is installed in the IPS, you can combine
black and the additional color under software control to:
Create darker shades by mixing black and a color
Create lighter tints by letting the white of the paper show
through between the black or colored dots.
Up to four input trays Two addressable input trays are
standard with the printing system. Two additional feeder trays
are available as options. These trays can be used to configure
print jobs in the most effective manner. For example, the trays
can be used to provide nonstop printing of a complex job that
requires multiple paper stocks, or only a few paper stocks, but
using the continuous loading capability of the input trays. A
different tray can also be selected for each copy of a specific
page in a print job; for example, to provide different paper colors
for specific pages.
Feeder tray capacities, based on 20-pound or 80 gsm (grams
per square meter) bond, are:
Tray 1: 1000 sheets
Tray 2: 500 sheets
High-capacity feeder trays (3 and 4): 1000 sheets each.
Advanced paper handling The IPS can handle paper
stocks ranging in size from 8 by 10 inches / 203 by 254 mm to
8.5 by 14 inches / 216 by 356 mm, including A4, and in weight
from 20-pound or 80 gsm bond to 110-pound / 200 gsm index.
