The high speed and high reliability of the IBM Infoprint 4000 Advanced Function Duplex Printing System is now enhanced with even better print quality. The new Infoprint models (ID5/ID6) offer you a choice of 480/600 dpi switchable resolution. Even at the high throughput of 1,002 impressions per minute, you can choose the optimum output resolution to print 240, 300 or 600 dpi input datastreams. Coupled with IBM-exclusive Print Quality Enhancement (PQE) techniques, the new system provides sharper, clearer text and business graphics.
The system's expanded functionality and user-friendly controls's expanded functionality and user-friendly controls can improve your ability to meet production deadlines for statements, policies, reports, and other documentation.
Create high-value statements efficiently
Leveraging the excellent print quality of the Infoprint 4000, you can create attractive, highly readable statements by customizing content to appeal to the interest of the individual customer. With this ability to produce high impact statements, you can help enhance your company's image and boost competitive advantage.
Capitalize on a leading-edge controller
The new, more powerful Advanced Function Common Control Unit (AFCCU) helps ensure speedy, reliable throughput, outstanding connectivity and versatile pre- and post-processing interface capabilities.
The enhanced control unit provides black and white grayscale support1 for Advanced Function Printing (AFP) color objects (images, graphics and text). This new capability can help:
- Save application development costs by creating a single AFP application for high-quality printing on both AFP color and black-and-white printers
- Maximize customer relationship management and audience segmentation opportunities with color or black-and-white statements
- Gain the flexibility to schedule statement printing across color and black-and-white printers at peak times
Improved operational control
To improve operator productivity, output quality and printer utilization, Infoprint Operations Architecture includes:
- Operator Control: Define and store optimum print settings such as "contrast" and "fusing temperature" for each form, to help ensure consistent print quality and reduce the guesswork of manual settings
- Forms Management: Improve forms handling and paper path management with the ability to handle forms up to 28 inches in length and provide better fusing quality for a variety of forms. Expedite job separation and post-processing operations with more visible job-end marks and perforation marks for perf-less paper
- Form Identification: Minimize reprint costs by verifying that the correct form is loaded for a print job 2
- Simple Network Management Protocol: Increase printer utilization by monitoring printers remotely or by automatically receiving printer alert notifications, such as "out of paper" or "out of toner"
- Fidelity Manager: Improve print quality and operator productivity by running a test job that automatically synchronizes the optical density (darkness) of front and back sides of a page
Navigate with ease
Improve productivity and ease of use with the Enhanced Operator Console, which includes a keyboard and a mouse. A large, touch-screen, flat panel display provides a clear, intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI)3
- Reduce the number of steps an operator must perform to complete a task by simplifying current Infoprint 4000 menus and customizing "hot keys" for frequently used functions
- Improve operator productivity by monitoring printer and consumables usage status in graphical form
- Control the tasks that operators are allowed to perform with customizable privileges
- Access many "Help" functions in graphical form for easier interpretation and gain efficiency by using hypertext links to cross-reference related "Help" function text
Protect your investment
As your business grows and changes, IBM can help you meet your output requirements with upgrade options. Currently installed wide models of IBM 3900 or 4000 Simplex or Duplex printers can be upgraded to the new Infoprint 4000 Duplex Printing Systems.
EuroReady
This product, when used in accordance with its associated documentation, is capable of correctly processing monetary data in the euro denomination and of respecting the euro currency formatting conventions (including the euro symbol).
Add value to statements for high impact
- Create more appealing statements for your customer. Cross-sell products or services, build loyalty, reinforce brand image and help reduce costs. Boost customer service and retention.
- Optimize statement readability with the enhanced print quality of the new Infoprint 4000, which can deliver crisp, clear text, even in small font sizes.
- Present graphics and relevant information more effectively with improved print quality. Include content designed to communicate data "at a glance" investment pie charts, utility usage bar charts and selective marketing graphs or pictures.
- The Infoprint 4000 combines high resolution with exceptional throughput to give you flexible, high-value statement production.
