Capable of printing at 226 feet per minute (fpm) or 493 images per minute (ipm) two-up, simplex on 81⁄2x11˝ paper, and 986 ipm when in the duplex configuration, the Xerox 490/980 will reportedly be the fastest device of its kind.

It prints at 600 dpi resolution and is said to maintain its rated speed when printing in color or black-and-white, regardless of the number of colors used or the weight of the paper. The system is anticipated to have a price of approximately $1.8 million per engine ($3.6 million for duplex configurations).
