2.2 High-Resolution Imaging System for Copied and Printed Images
The imagePRESS C910/C810/C710 provides a high-resolution imaging system.
This system renders images at a 2,400 x 2,400 dpi print resolution (600 x 600 dpi
maximum for long sheets only), which delivers the highest level of speed and
image quality. Object-optimized imaging also helps to achieve superior print
quality. Text and lines are processed with a high priority given to resolution, and
images and graphics are processed with a high priority given to gradation. This
high-resolution imaging system coupled with the Density Fine Adjustment mode, a
feature that refines thin, fine text, and lines while the device is rendering images at
2,400 x 2,400 dpi, minimizes faint output and delivers quality prints.

imagePRESS C910/C810/C710 Customer Expectations Document
Version 5 imagePRESS C910/C810/C710 Customer Expectations Document Page 12
2.3 Image Stabilization Control
The quality of printed images is affected by changes in the environment, such as
temperature and humidity, in which the machine is installed. It is also affected by
the deterioration of image formation parts through extended use. The
imagePRESS C910/C810/C710 minimizes these issues, stabilizes image
production, and maintains color consistency with features, such as Automatic
Real-Time Multiple Density Patch Calibration, Auto Gradation Adjustment, and
Auto Correct Color Tone.
2.3.1 Automatic Real-Time Multiple Density Patch Calibration
Real-Time Density Patch Calibration helps to maintain color consistency by
making automatic, real-time adjustments during print runs without operator
intervention.
2.3.2 Automatic Gradation Adjustment
Automatic Gradation Adjustment is a function that helps to automatically adjust
toner density. Select from two modes:
•SAPT (Same for All Paper Types) – customers only need to execute the
automatic gradation adjustment for one media type, and then the machine
automatically adjusts for the other two process speeds.
•BPTG (By Paper Type Groups) – execute automatic gradation adjustment for
all three process speeds, if necessary.
Customers can also register custom media for the automatic gradation
adjustment, if they cannot prepare the Canon recommended calibration paper
(Hammermill Color Copy Digital 28 lb). For more information on the Automatic
Gradation Adjustment modes, see “Adjustment for Image Quality and Finishing
(Calibration),” in the e-Manual included with the machine.
2.3.3 Auto Correct Color Tone
ACCT (Auto Correct Color Tone) is a unique Canon technology that creates a
correction value to enhance color consistency for mixed colors. ACCT is now
available when any print controller is attached.

Version 5 imagePRESS C910/C810/C710 Customer Expectations Document Page 13
2.4 Customer-Defined Image Quality Adjustments and Recommendations
Customer-defined image quality adjustments enable the customer to enhance the
productivity of the machine. There are several ways to maintain color consistency
for each job. The recommendations below aim at reproducing optimal images
under variable factors (i.e., changes in the environment).
To achieve the best image quality, the following factors are recommended.
All Controllers
•Tighter control of the temperature and humidity will result in tighter color
consistency in the device.
•The device must be maintained properly, which includes performing preventative
maintenance as scheduled.
•The customer can also maintain proper color calibration on the device by
performing an Automatic Gradation Adjustment once a day. For optimal quality,
the customer should perform an Auto Gradation Adjustment whenever a change
in print quality is noticed and when dither pattern adjustments are made. It is
strongly suggested that the customer uses one media for the Automatic
Gradation Adjustment daily. The media for optimal color control should be
consistent with Hammermill 28 lb color laser.
•Some customers may want to incorporate a Color Management workflow that
consists of not only the above, but also utilizes the Color and Imaging features
included with the attached print controller.
PRISMAsync Only
Optimal quality is maintained through the calibration of media families in use.
Additionally, each halftone can be calibrated per media family for an environment
that requires the highest degree of color control.
Best Practices: While working, Color Management must be implemented with
consistency. This, along with a stable environment and a well-maintained system,
makes the customer’s ability to reproduce color more efficient.

2.5 PRISMAsync Print Server
The PRISMAsync Print Server for iPR C910-A2 can power the imagePRESS
C910, C810, and C710. There are two versions of the PRISMAsync Print Server:
PRISMAsync Print Server (full) version (for all imagePRESS C910, C810, and
C710 machines) and PRISMAsync Print Server LP (Light Production) version (for
the imagePRESS C810 and C710 only).
The full PRISMAsync Print Server version is designed for print operations and
in-plants that require full-color management and workflow functionality. This
PRISMAsync Print Server ships standard with the Operator Panel, Operator Panel
Attachment Kit, Operator Attention Light, and X-Rite i1 Basic Pro 2
Spectrophotometer.
The PRISMAsync Print Server LP version is designed for smaller print operations
and in-plants that do not require the full-color management and workflow
functionality of the full PRISMAsync Print Server, but want to maintain a common
workflow and printer interface between the digital presses in their fleet. The
PRISMAsync Print Server LP ships standard with the Operator Panel, and
Operator Panel attachment kit.

2.5.3 PRISMAsync System Backup
To backup the PRISMAsync system settings and licenses, a technician must use
the USB key included in the PRISMAsync box.
To backup the PRISMAsync’s firmware, a technician must use a specific type of
USB stick (available for purchase), as described in “USB Stick,” on p. 52.
The USB key and USB stick are the same types of physical hardware (flash
drives); however, they are both used for different purposes.
It is strongly recommended that technicians make a backup of the system after
installation, major system changes, or upgrades on the provided USB key.
The USB key must be left with the PRISMAsync Print Server.
2.5.4 PRISMAsync Firmware Updates
It is recommended that a technician use a specific kind of USB stick to upgrade
or restore the PRISMAsync Print Server firmware. The USB stick is NOT
included in the PRISMAsync box.
The USB stick used for upgrading the controller firmware must adhere to specific
technical requirements. For the USB stick’s technical requirements, see
“USB Stick,” on p. 52.
IMPORTANT
•Before downloading new firmware on the USB stick, the USB stick must be
formatted (all contents on the stick erased). During the firmware update
process, the current firmware on the PRISMAsync Print Server is erased and
replaced by the newly installed firmware. Therefore, it is highly recommended
that the technician backup the PRISMAsync system settings and licenses on
the USB key first. Then, after the firmware is updated (using the USB stick), the
installed licenses and settings can be restored using the USB key.
•Once the USB stick has been used to update firmware on the PRISMAsync
Print Server, it cannot be used again until the format process is repeated.
•The USB key and USB stick should not be used interchangeably.
•Using a USB stick that does not meet the specific technical requirements, may
result in an error when backing up the system settings or an error when
installing firmware.
