Prerequisites

In order to use highlight color with the Infoprint 4000 and Infoprint 4100, you must:

• Use one of the following models that supports highlight colors:
  • Infoprint 4000 Models ID1/2 with Feature 4445
  • Infoprint 4000 Models ID3/4 with Feature 9945
  • Infoprint 4000 Models ID5/6
  • Infoprint 4100 Models HD1/2
• Install the RPQ for highlight color for Infoprint 4000 Models ID1/2 and ID3/4.
• Install the Enhanced Operator Console with Version 11.3 code or higher, if it is not already available.
• Order an individual customer changeable developer (CCD) for each color you use.
• Put black toner in Printer 1 and color toner in Printer 2. Otherwise you cannot use tractorless forms (if you are printing black on side 1 and color on side 2), Side 1/Side 2 Verification, and the Forms Identification (Barcode) feature.
  Note:
  Tractorless forms are not supported if you are printing simplex jobs.
• Create jobs that use highlight color correctly. Observe the following constraints:
  • Highlight color can be on the same side as black toner by submitting the job as a simplex job with Highlight Color #1 specified. If the printer is threaded for a duplex job, you need to rethread it. Refer to Threading the printer (side 1 to side 1) for more information.
  • If you want to print highlight color on the back side of a duplex job, you don't have to make any changes to already existing black jobs. The front side will print in black and the back side will print in color.
  Refer to Planning the application for information about creating jobs to use this feature and to Threading the printer (side 1 to side 1) for information about threading the printer.

The following limitations apply:

• Auto-align is only available when the color CCD is located in Printer 2 of a duplex system. Auto-align is not supported in a simplex system.
• Data verification between black and color data is not available. For this reason, IBM does not recommend printing sensitive customer data in color toner.
• Although it is possible to print both 1-D and 2-D barcodes with color toner, not all barcode scanners and readers will be able to properly decode a color barcode. For this reason, it is not recommended to print bar codes with color toner.
• CCDs are not interchangeable between different printer engines or models. A CCD is dedicated to one serial numbered printer engine. Additional CCDs can be ordered to print other color or MICR applications.
• Once a CCD is loaded with one color toner, it cannot be changed to another type of toner.
• Tractorless mode is only supported for duplex applications when the color CCD is located in engine 2. Simplex applications with a highlight color are not supported in tractorless mode.
• Custom colors are not available.
• The AFCCU cannot detect which, if any, color CCDs are installed. It is the operator's responsibility to determine if the CCD installed matches the application being run.
• There is no AFCCU detection of color, meaning the AFCCU does not know which toner (black or color) is installed.
• Infoprint Fidelity Manager, also known as Densitometer, (FC 4832 or 4833) is not supported.
• Side 1/Side 1 Verification is not supported.
• No Print on Demand (POD) jobs (statements printing only).
• CE printhead alignment is required.
