More substrates. Less space.
The Xerox 495 ® Continuous Feed Duplex Printer. Incorporating a suite of
high-performance features, this versatile printer provides invaluable support for
effi ciency and productivity in mission-critical operations with:
Continuous high-speed, high-resolution •
printing at 500 ipm (two-up duplex)
and 600 dpi, enabled with fl ash-fusing
technology
IPDS compatibility to provide a seamless plug- •
compatible solution
Other advantages:
Substrate technology enables printing •
on stocks with glues and adhesives
Media retains its moisture and electrostatic •
attributes better due to reduced exposure to
heat and no pressure contact
Reduced likelihood of media damage allows •
fi nishing equipment to work more reliably
Elimination of fuser oil allows output to •
be more compatible with a variety of
fi nishing applications
Touch-screen ease for
all operations
The built-in control panel uses a color touch
display to enhance visibility and operability.
Operations like start-up, setting input data,
logical page specifi cation and editing can
be performed. With our software, high-speed
RIP is achieved and print data format is
compatible with the industry-standard IPDS.
Simplex, duplex printing
with single printer
With the short paper path, duplex continuous
form printing has never been this easy. Using two
imaging drums in one machine, the reverse side
of the page is printed with the fi rst drum unit
while front-side imaging is performed with the
second drum. The image is fl ash fused and then
fi xed once for each side.
The short duplex paper path uses less paper
and minimizes set-up time when compared to
the traditional duplex approach, which uses
two separate print engines.
Multiple substrates
The Xerox 495 Continuous Feed Duplex Printer
handles a wide variety of applications—from
paper widths of 6.5" to 18" and paper weights
of 64 gsm to 157 gsm, to specialty papers like
labels, ID cards, RFID transponders and tags.
High-speed printing at 500 ipm
(two-up duplex) U.S. letter
Speeds up to 500 ipm enable the Xerox 495 ®
Continuous Feed Duplex Printer to process high
volumes consistently.
High productivity with long unattended runs
is possible using roll-feed unwinders and
automated post-processing fi nishing devices.
The results are improved turnaround time and
operational effi ciency.
Better image quality with
higher resolution—600 dpi
With the Xerox 495 Continuous Feed Duplex
Printer, high-density printing with 600 dpi
resolution allows photos, halftones, small
fonts, superscripts and fi ne lines to be printed
clearly, quickly. Superior image quality refl ects
the use of small-particle toner and the non-
contact fl ash-fusing technology. This new,
cleaner technology ensures even the smallest
characters are always legible.
Improved performance with
fl ash-fusing technology
Flash-fusing technology reduces paper heat and
shrinkage and retains proper paper moisture.
High-intensity fl ash lamps heat the toner.
Because the toner is fi xed without the fuser
contacting the paper, wide varieties of papers
can be printed—from normal paper to specialty
substrates (plastic card and labels).
Flexible connection
with PLB Interface
The Print Line Bus™ (PLB) enables communica-
tion with up to 10 devices by connecting each
device in the print line. The PLB allows you to
monitor the pre- and post-processing equipment
and the printer through the GUI, providing an
end-to-end solution for improved productivity.
Small footprint
The Xerox 495 Continuous Feed Duplex Printer
requires half the space of traditional duplex
printing (using two simplex printers). This
provides customers who have limited space
with the ability to have complete duplex
redundancy and backup in the same footprint.
Workfl ow solutions to help
you build your business.
Xerox FreeFlow ® solutions enable you to
connect with your customers, reduce costs
and make possible new applications. FreeFlow
streamlines and automates workfl ow
processes—saving time, labor and waste while
shifting quality, productivity and effi ciency into
overdrive. Built on industry standards, FreeFlow
integrates with and extends your existing
workfl ow to deliver measurable business benefi ts.
FreeFlow Print Server provides faster processing
and VI caching support for personalized text
and high quality graphics and images, so your
printer runs at rated speeds. FreeFlow Print Server
security features like Monochrome Specialty
Imaging Text provides MicroText and Correlation
Mark, making your application processing and
hard copy output secure. Easier to use GUI
makes integration into cut-sheet print shop
environments more fl exible and productive.
From proven success in production environments
to extensive support of nearly every major print
data stream, you can move beyond the native
IPDS of the printer to enable PostScript, PDF,
PCL and TIFF applications.
