Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is the difference between the 4500ps and the standard 4500 printer?
  The DesignJet 4500ps features an upgraded hardware architecture that includes double the standard memory (512 MB) and a built-in Adobe PostScript 3 RIP engine. This allows it to natively decode, interpret, and accurately print complex PDF, EPS, and PostScript graphics files without lagging your computer.
• How many rolls can the media carousel hold and does it select them automatically?
  The system holds 2 full-sized media rolls up to 42 in. wide simultaneously. It leverages automated roll-switching, meaning when a print job targets a different paper size or grade, the plotter feeds and cuts the active media and swaps to the other roll automatically.
• What connectivity interfaces are included on this specific model?
  The base Q1272A platform features an embedded HP Jetdirect Fast Ethernet network card alongside 2 high-speed IEEE 1394 FireWire interfaces. Wireless Wi-Fi configurations would require separate localized bridging routers.
