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.
A digital press uses an electrostatic process to produce “offset-like” image quality
at a fraction of the cost of an offset press. In the imagePRESS V1000 digital press,
the drum is imaged; the toner is applied, and then transferred to the ITB
(Intermediate Transfer Belt). The ITB 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.

Revision 4 imagePRESS V1000 Customer Expectations Document Page 12
2.3 PRISMAsync Controller
The imagePRESS V1000 can be powered by the PRISMAsync Color Print Controller.
The PRISMAsync controller seamlessly enables the customer to streamline their
workflow and turnout more work in less time with the following features:
•Scheduler - Plan-ahead functionality for multiple jobs simultaneously. The
scheduler only shows an estimated job completion time, not the actual time it may
take to complete a job. The actual job completion time may vary, depending on
mixed media jobs, mixplex jobs, selected Finishing settings, and color adjustments.
•A waiting and scheduled jobs queue and printed jobs archive.
•One queue and job management for printing and copying.
•Streaming (spooling, RIPing, printing, and cleaning up simultaneously).
•Multiple standard and customizable workflow profiles.
•Media-based operation with PRISMA media catalog.
•PRISMAsync controller settings are accessible via a Web browser.
•Professional high-speed and accurate color processing achieved with the Adobe
ACE (Adobe Color Engine) color management module and dedicated GPU
(Graphics Processor Unit).
•Calibration per media family and halftone.
•Spot color editing, including CMYK value definition for spot color tints.
•CMYK curve editing per media family and halftone.
•RGB editing – Adjust the brightness, contrast, and color to reach the quality of the
scanned or printed image.
•USB printing and Scan to USB functionality. To use the Scan to USB function, the
Scanning license must be activated, and the optional Color Image Reader-M2
must be attached to the machine.
•Unlimited color preset definitions for reuse.
•Workflow automation via SMB, LPR (Line Printer Request) queues, and PDF/PS
hot folders, as well as driver templates.
•Standard E-Shredding and Scanning licenses. To use the Scanning function, the
optional Duplex Image Reader must be attached to the machine.
•Standard X-Rite i1 Spectrophotometer.
•Perfect binding support with the optional Perfect Binder using PRISMAprepare and
Advanced Imposition software.
•Forward jobs directly from one PRISMAsync engine to another PRISMAsync
engine
•Support for Adobe APPE (V4.2) for Native PDF Printing

Canon imagePRESS V1000 Customer Expectations Document
Revision 4 imagePRESS V1000 Customer Expectations Document Page 13
2.3.1 PRISMAsync V8.3 Features
The latest PRISMAsync controller includes the following new features:
•Engine Color Calibration & Management Automation (CMS Automation) –
CMS Automation allows users to combine multiple color management tasks
(Auto Gradation Adjustment, Cross Shade Adjustment, Media Family Calibration,
G7 Verification) into one customizable action, ensure all tasks are in the proper
order with the correct media, and show results on the display and via a
downloadable report.
•“Advanced Imposition Layout” Option – Using the new option, operators can
set standard and custom imposition layout patterns for non-variable data jobs
directly at the local UI:
•Fold imposition
•Same Up
•Cut & Stack
•Manual gutters (across sheet)
•Align & Shift (across sheet)
•Print/Trim Marks
•Multiple Job Edit – Users can apply the same job parameters to multiple jobs
at the same time using an Automated Workflow.
•Edit/View Automated Workflow (AWF) settings at UI – Automated Workflow
can be set at the engine in addition to in the Settings Editor.
•Double Punch - When the Multi Function Professional Puncher is connected,
the Double Punch job parameter can be set at the operator panel.
•M1 Measurement – Improved light measurement is made when reading patches
with the i1 Basic Pro 3 connected.
•Secure JMF - An increased level of security is introduced by extending the JMF
support settings group to enable configuring JMF over HTTPS.
•JMF Status Improvement - In addition to DeviceStatus and Status details, the
new and always-unique “StatusDescription” helps operators understand the
cause of an issue and how to address it.

2.3.3 PRISMAsync Optional Software
This section describes software packages that are separately licensed for the
PRISMAsync controller.
•DPLink
•Simplified Chinese Fontset
•Traditional Chinese Fontset
•Japanese Fontset
•Korean Fontset
•Advanced Imposition
IMPORTANT
•E-Shredding has an impact on product performance. Depending on the E-
Shredding settings (number of overwrites) and the complexity of the processed job
data, an impact of 10% to 40% can be expected on product performance.
•Starting with system software version 7.3, E-Shredding passes use a maximum of
three (3) passes. With E-Shredding enabled, the disk space threshold is reduced
to give operators more time to remove jobs before a “disk full” situation occurs.
NOTE
PRISMAprepare and Advanced Imposition are required to support the Perfect
Binder-F1 with the PRISMAsync controller.
2.3.4 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. 62.
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 controller.

Canon imagePRESS V1000 Customer Expectations Document
Revision 4 imagePRESS V1000 Customer Expectations Document Page 16
2.3.5 PRISMAsync Firmware Updates
It is recommended that a technician use a specific kind of USB stick to upgrade or
restore the PRISMAsync controller 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. 62.
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 controller 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
controller, 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.

2.4 Notes on the Engine’s Storage Drive
Always turn OFF the machine by activating the automatic shutdown sequence. For
the imagePRESS V1000, the automatic shutdown sequence is initiated by turning
OFF the main power switch. For more information, see the Canon imagePRESS
V1000 User Manual. Never remove power during the shutdown sequence. This may
negatively impact the performance and life of the engine’s storage drive, and destroy
any data being processed at the time of shut down.
IMPORTANT
Make sure to replace the solid state drive with Canon Genuine Service Parts (not
store bought) at the same time. Canon U.S.A., Inc. does not guarantee operation
if non-Canon Genuine Service Parts are used.

2.5 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, these factors are recommended:
•Tighter control of the temperature and humidity results in tighter color consistency
in the device.
•Maintain the device 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 use one media for the Automatic Gradation
Adjustment daily. The media for optimal color control should be consistent with
Hammermill 28 lb color laser paper.
•Some customers may want to incorporate a Color Management workflow that
consists of not only the above, but also uses the Color and Imaging features
included with a print controller.
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.
IMPORTANT
After the machine is installed, setup, and adjusted to the customer’s preferences,
it is strongly recommended that owners of the imagePRESS V1000 print and store
samples of the machine’s image quality. These samples should serve as a
benchmark, against which subsequent image quality can be referenced. Samples
should be made by using as many applications, media, and paper types the owner
intends to use on the imagePRESS V1000.
