for Canon. The
latest addition to the Canon ColorPASS family, the new
ColorPASS-Z6000, enables users to achieve new levels of
functionality and productivity beyond the scope of previ-
ous entry-level production controllers.
Featuring a powerful Pentium®proces-
sor and Windows®XP operating sys-
tem, Canon ColorPASS color servers
support all the latest CLC 4000 fea-
tures and accessories, and drive the
engine at its rated speed to make
short work of the most complex files.
Their super-fast CPUs rapidly process
large files with sophisticated graphics.
The optional Advanced Controller Kit for use with the
ColorPASS-Z6000 allows you to connect a keyboard, mon-
itor, and mouse for pinpoint control right at the system.
Simple Network Integration
The first step is simple network integra-
tion. NetWise™3 makes CLC 4000 instal-
lation a plug-and-play process. Its open
architecture enables automatic switch-
ing between TCP/IP, AppleTalk,®and
IPX/SPX™for seamless integration into
any network scheme. For environments
requiring truly high-speed data commu-
nications, the new ColorPASS controllers come standard
with gigabit Ethernet capabilities.
NetWise 3 even allows you to send files as E-mail attach-
ments to printers from any remote location. Need to
capture or incorporate existing hard-copy images into
electronic files? Fiery Remote Scan lets you easily scan
multipage hard-copy documents for integration into your
digital workflow.
Powerful Job Management
Speaking of control, Canon ColorPASS color servers feature
Command WorkStation 4.1 for Windows and the new
Command WorkStation LE 4.0 for Mac, powerful job manage-
ment
software solutions that allow you to monitor and man-
age all jobs and servers from a single screen. The improved
UniDriver for Windows provides user-customizable short-
cuts, pop-up menu information, and draggable watermarks.
The Job Properties window of Command WorkStation now
features UniDriver-like functionality to manage job program-
ming through a single screen. Manipulate files with PitStop
software, and translate reader spreads into paginated book-
letform with DocBuilder Pro. Preview jobs before printing,
and archive them afterward for future use without re-RIPing.

New Revenue Opportunities
Need the versatility to generate customized documents for
one-to-one marketing? ColorPASS technology lets you offer
services you never could before. Add more value to your
customer relationships through cost-effective, full-color
variable data printing. ColorPASS color servers support the
Fiery FreeForm™2 VDP utility, as well as PPML— the indus-
try-standard language for executing variable data printing
tasks without proprietary hardware or applications.
Advanced Color Controls
Both novice and color-critical users alike will appreciate
the full spectrum of color management and calibration
tools provided by ColorWise 3. Offering great out-of-the-
box color, this feature-rich color management software
provides advanced users with a wide range of capabilities,
such as downloading ICC profiles of other printing devices
and editing or customizing color curves. These help
achieve consistent color from all applications and platforms.
Plus, users have access to advanced utilities like Auto
Gray and ColorCal,®scanner-based calibration tools ideal
for environments where color consistency is critical.
Aren’t they all?
Color-intensive production environments can further
enhance job control and color accuracy with Fiery’s
Graphic Arts Package, a set of optional power tools for
color professionals that deliversprecise control for any
color-critical application. Use the Spot-On®feature to
modify CMYK values to closer match their PANTONE®
equivalents; select Auto Trapping to ensure proper regis-
tration and fit of adjacent colors; control Halftone dot
values; generate Unlimited Separations to proof jobs
beyond traditional four-color process printing; simulate
paper stocks to judge the effect media will have on inks;
and place jobs in Hot Folders to simplify workflows using
predefined settings.

Cluster Printing Solution
Need greater bandwidth to support document production
over several machines? T/R Systems MicroPress for Canon
clusters multiple color and black-and-white solutions into
a powerful production output management system using
one controller. Execute job splitting to speed completion
while retaining access to a number of advanced job and
color management capabilities thatstreamline processes
in production-level environments.
Outstanding Performance
After your job is processed, and all color and document
settings have been made to your specifications, rest
assured that every image will leap off the page, thanks to
Canon’s legendary image quality. Finer, Brighter (FB) Toner
provides a color space larger than that of most competitive
devices and commercial presses, so it can achieve subtle
blends, smooth gradations, and crisp text. Automatic
Image Refinement technology boosts CLC 4000 output res-
olution to the equivalent of 800 x 400 dpi for the sharpest
possible images, while Automatic Registration Adjustment
self-calibrates for improved image registration.
ButCLC 4000 value doesn’t stop there. When it’s time to
putimagesto paper, the CLC 4000 really shines. Its four-
way, 4,850-sheet standard paper supply offers expanded
size and weight capacities so you can execute any job
in-house. Feed 12" x 18" heavyweight and coated stocks
up to 253gsm through the new 3,500-sheet Paper Deck-R1
or the 250-sheet Stack Bypass. Both 550-sheet paper
drawers are user-adjustable for sizes up to 11" x 17" and
in weights of up to 105gsm. Plus, its Stackless Automatic
Duplex technology allows you to produce booklets and
other two-sided documents on heavyweight media up to
163gsm from the Paper Deck. For manual duplex jobs, the
optional Stack Bypass Alignment Tray provides improved
front-to-back registration.
Hard-copy Reproduction
Sometimes, you’ll need to reproduce existing hard-copy
originals. Leverage the CLC 4000’s 400 x 400 dpi full-color
scanner as a 100-sheet Automatic Document Feeder with
the optional RDF-E3. Productively scan one- or two-sided
originals as large as 11" x 17" at 40 pages per minute. A
complete spectrum of color and image manipulation fea-
tures is at every user’s fingertips for the accurate repro-
duction or modification of existing hard-copy images. And
as always, every CLC 4000 copy delivers brilliant color
images and reveals fine details—even skin tones that
other solutions find hard to reproduce.

Professional Finishing
When you’re ready to finish the job, no one comes close to
matching Canon’s finishing capabilities. For environments
that utilize off-line finishing equipment, two Stacker options
are available. Users can let long jobs run unattended with
the 2,500-sheet High-capacity Stacker TS-100, while the
new 3,000-sheet Offset Stacker-B1 is designed for users
who require offset capabilities.
The Nagel Finisher is an ideal fit for growing production
environments. With DocBuilder Pro imposing pages on
the front end, and the powerful combination of the Nagel
Booklet-maker and Trimmer on the back end, you’ll have
a complete solution for the professional production of
saddle-stitched and trimmed booklets up to 64 pages
(16 sheets). And, because the Nagel Finisher handles
stock weights greater than the duplexing capacity of the
CLC 4000, you can use it as an off-line finishing device
for manual duplex jobs produced on the CLC 4000, or
to complement other printing equipment.
From the start of your job—scanning, imposing, managing
color—straight through to the finished saddle-stitched,
trimmed, and folded booklets, the CLC 4000 is the most
versatile, affordable solution for your growing production-
level needs. And it’s from Canon, the name you’ve come
to trust for industry-leading color output solutions.
