Introduction

About the VarioPrint i-series MICR
The VarioPrint i-series MICR are sheet-fed inkjet color production printers printing at 300 ipm or
200 ipm. The printer platform combines new reliable applications with proven inkjet productivity,
and premium quality output.
The VarioPrint i-series MICR steered by PRISMAsync Print Server offers digital workflows—black
and white, highlight color, and full color—into one effective and productive platform.
iQuarius technology with the proprietary aqueous ink and MICR offers true sheet-fed inkjet
printing on a broad set of uncoated, inkjet coated, and offset coated media. The printer platform
has a flexible architecture which enables product and functionality extensions in future.
Working with the VarioPrint i-series MICR, is more than working with the printer alone. The most
important standard software applications are the following.
About the VarioPrint i-series MICR
10 Chapter 1 - Introduction
VarioPrint i-series MICR

•The VarioPrint i-series MICR remote printer driver enables you to start and submit print jobs
from the desktop applications you use.
•The controller PRISMAsync Print Server ensures you to get the most out of your printer.
PRISMAsync Print Server is used for a wide range of Canon color and black and white sheet-
fed printers.
•The web-based PRISMAsync Remote Manager shows the job processing and the print queues
of the printer remotely on your workstation. All upcoming events can be monitored from a
distance. You can edit job properties or re-route jobs from a PRISMAsync printer to an other
PRISMAsync printer.
•The PRISMAsync Remote Control app on your smart phone helps to stay informed about the
print production on the VarioPrint i-series MICR. Even at a distance.
•The web-based Settings Editor is the tool where you configure the printer according to new or
changed requirements.
In addition to these standard applications, the following optional software applications can be
part of the platform of the VarioPrint i-series MICR.
•PRISMAprepare and PRISMAproduction
The job submitting software PRISMAprepare and PRISMAproduction create a uniform
workflow with the VarioPrint i-series MICR. So you can realize end-to-end job automation,
media catalog synchronization, and all-in-one job preparation.
•PRISMAprofiler
PRISMAprofiler has been developed for inkjet printers like the VarioPrint i-series MICR. Color
experts can use this profiler to make optimal use of the color management of the VarioPrint i-
series MICR.
•PRISMAlytics Dashboard
PRISMAlytics Dashboard is a cloud service that delivers fact-based printer information. Printers
that use the PRISMAsync Print Server send real-time production information, such as printing
times, idle times, and the usage of media and consumables to the Dashboard. Key
performance indicators and improvement areas help you to optimize and streamline the
production across your printer fleet.
•PRISMAsync Simulator
With the PRISMAsync Simulator you can print jobs without an actual printer. The print results
are used for job production overviews and job cost calculations.

Users of the printer
Target group with respect to safety information
A user of the printer is with respect to safety an "ordinary person." The roles of the ordinary
person with respect to the printer can be different. The roles of the target group are described
below.
Target group of the VarioPrint i-series MICR printer
Print environments where the VarioPrint i-series MICR printer is installed differ in many aspects.
Therefore, it is difficult to describe the user roles that are applicable to all print environments.
The VarioPrint i-series MICR has several default user accounts:
• system administrator
• Professional Services operator
• Professional Services TIP operator
• service operator
• key operator
• central operator
• maintenance operator
• operator
The system administrator is responsible for the user authorization and user authentication. The
system administrator gives you the access rights that correspond with the tasks you must
perform on the printer.
Target group of this operation guide
This operation guide is developed to support users that are responsible for the job management,
workflow management, color and media management, print quality and color validation, and
printer maintenance.
The system administrator is responsible for the security, the connectivity, the user authorization
and authentication, and several workflow configurations. These tasks are not part of this
operation guide.
