resolution is 'map units per pixel'. (in this case, 'pixels per pixel').
maxResolution is most zoomed out. You got that part right on your layer.

so now you need to add: 
  maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(0,0,4000,5083)

next to your maxResolution: 16.

Neither: a bounds.

No problem. Large learning curve.
