1. Introduction
The Canon imagePRESS C7000VP Customer Expectations Document contains
information about the features and capabilities of the Canon imagePRESS
C7000VP. This document should be used as part of the presale, and
preinstallation planning process to help clarify the requirements and responsibilities
associated with owning and operating the imagePRESS C7000VP. It is also
recommended that those interested in purchasing the imagePRESS C7000VP
have, and familiarize themselves with, the information in this document prior to
making their purchase.
2. Product Overview
The Canon imagePRESS C7000VP is designed to produce the highest color
image quality in the marketplace, and maintains high-durability, productivity, and
value. This high-quality digital press also upholds output printing and copying
speeds of 70 ppm for both color and black-and-white LTR size documents.
The imagePRESS C7000VP has full color image quality, various media support
with the largest image area and highest color consistency and durability. As a
printer, the machine is capable of printing up to 1200 x 1200 lpi and dpi. As a
copier, the imagePRESS C7000VP can enhance the digital resolution of your
document by scanning in up to 600 x 600 dpi, and outputting the image in up to
1200 x 1200 dpi interpolated resolution. This results in higher quality characters,
smoother corners, and cleaner gradient transitions. Text appears sharper and
graphics appear extremely clear and detailed.
The imagePRESS C7000VP is designed with new technologies, such as the
oil-less V toner, E drum, Twin Red Imaging Laser Beam scanner, Twin Sleeve
Developer Unit, and Real Time and Post Fusing calibration to achieve unparalleled
image quality, color consistency, and media versatility.

2.2 Offset Press vs. Digital imagePRESS
Offset printing is a technique that transfers (or “offsets”) an inked image from a
plate to a rubber blanket, and then to the printing surface. This enables the offset
press to maintain a consistent and high image quality over long print runs because
the plate never touches the paper. The process requires a substantial investment
in equipment and setup time to achieve these results.
Adigital press uses an electrostatic process to produce “offset-like” image quality
at a fraction of the cost of an offset press. In the imagePRESS C7000VP digital
press, the drum is imaged; the toner is applied, and then transferred to the AITB
(Advanced Imaging Transfer Belt). The AITB then transfers all four toner colors to
the paper in one single pass. The small toner particle size captures a greater color
gamut space, closer to that of an offset press.
2.3 Image Stabilization Control
The quality of printed images is affected by changes in the environment, such as
temperature, humidity, etc. in which the machine is installed. It is also affected by
the deterioration of image formation parts through extended usage. The
imagePRESS C7000VP performs image stabilization control to ensure stable print
quality over an extended period of time.

IMPORTANT
•Canon USA strongly recommends that dedicated and properly grounded outlets
be provided for the devices mentioned above. The ground connection serves to
provide the internal electronics with a reference voltage. Faulty or poor ground
sources will cause this reference voltage to fall into a range that no longer serves
as a reliable reference voltage. The internal logic and programming of the
imagePRESS C7000VP will not perform reliably because there is an insufficient
difference between the internal operating signal voltages and the poor ground
reference signal. A qualified electrician can measure and provide the ground
source that the imagePRESS C7000VP or any computer controlled office
equipment requires.

5. Environmental Factors and Requirements
Operating Temperature: Between 68°F (20°C) and 80.6°F (27°C)
Operating Humidity: Between 30% and 70%
Atmospheric Pressure: 810.6 to 1,013 hPa (0.8 to 1.0 atm)
Noise (sound level): Standby: 74 dB; Copying: 82 dB
Ozone Emissions: 0.01 ppm (parts per million) or less (initial startup)
0.035 ppm or less (after a short break-in period)
NOTE
It may be necessary to use a humidifier or dehumidifier to attain the proper
humidity levels for optimal machine performance.
5.1 Temperature and Humidity Conditions
During operation, the permissible humidity range is 30% to 70% RH (Relative
Humidity) with a room temperature of 68°F to 80.6°F (20°C to 27°C).
There is a risk that paper feeding and image quality may be affected if the machine
is used in a location that does not meet these specifications.
The machine should not be installed in locations with significant shifts in
temperature or humidity. Areas containing water, or equipment, such as a heater,
stove, or portable air conditioner should be avoided unless proper environmental
control is available.
The permissible humidity range for storing paper is 30% to 70% RH (Relative
Humidity) with a room temperature of 68°F to 80.6°F (20°C to 27°C). Storing paper
in a location that does not meet these specifications may affect paper feeding and
image quality. For example, if the humidity is too high, paper curling and paper
jams will increase. If the humidity is too low, paper may shrink, lose resistance, and
toner will not adhere to the paper as well.
5.2 Temperature Gradient
Using an air conditioner during the winter, or if a sudden temperature change
occurs, may have an adverse affect on image positioning. Sudden temperature
changes may cause the paper to bend or contract, and cause a machine
malfunction due to condensation. To avoid these issues, control the temperature
gradient so that it does not exceed 18°F/H (10°C/H).

Version 7 imagePRESS C7000VP Customer Expectations Document Page 16
5.3 Ventilation
Ensure that there is an air exchange rate of at least 1.5 times per hour, and at least
3,885 ft3(110 m3) of space in the location where the machine will be installed.
This machine generates a slight amount of ozone during normal use. Although
sensitivity to ozone may vary, this amount is not harmful. Ozone may be more
noticeable during extended use or long production runs, especially in poorly
ventilated rooms. It is recommended that the room be appropriately ventilated,
sufficient to maintain a comfortable working environment, in areas of machine
operation.
5.4 Elevation Limitations
Install this machine at an elevation below 13,123’ (4,000 m) and at an air pressure
of less than 607.8 hPa.
5.5 Lighting
We recommend installing the machine in a location with at least 500 lux
(29 1/2” (75 cm) above the floor) for normal operation and maintenance.
5.6 Sunlight
Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, use curtains to
shade the machine. Be sure that the curtains do not block the machine’s ventilation
slots or louvers, or interfere with the electrical cord or power supply.
5.7 Ammonia
Avoid installing the machine where ammonia is emitted. In a sufficient amount,
ammonia will attack the surfaces of the machine’s paper feed and image quality
components, thereby shortening their useful life and increasing the need for
periodic and remedial maintenance.
A professional assessment of the air quality in the room in which the machine is to
be installed is recommended prior to its installation.
