PRISMAsync

Introduction
The PRISMAsync controller converts print data, submitted via the LAN, to output on paper.
Although some print settings can be defined for print jobs (like number of copies or staples), print
data definition takes place outside the printer system.
The PRISMAsync based printer enables some basic operation on the jobs:
• Queue manipulation, such as moving jobs to the top of the queue or deleting jobs offer the
operator the opportunity to do some last minute 'micro-planning'.
• Job settings can be edited (e.g. number of copies) for last minute changes on jobs.
The PRISMAsync based printer supports printing on custom media sizes, i.e. media sizes that are
not part of the set of media types installed at production time, but that become defined in the
field.
The PRISMAsync based printer can stack, jog, punch, fold and bind loose sheets of all supported
media sizes. It can staple, stack and jog A4/Letter-like sheets and supports the imagePRESS
C7010VPS series finisher options. The printer enables the operator to configure the media defined
in each tray, such that print data can be printed correctly.
The PRISMAsync based printer uses a Media catalogue to match the media concept used in the
printer with the actual media types typically used by the customer. The operator can modify the
Media catalogue to contain the required media types. Print jobs can be self-contained, i.e. the
generated output is independent of the currently configured Media catalogue.
When an error occurs (such as a paper jam), the system assists the operator in resolving the
error. After an error is resolved, printing can continue. The printer takes care of job integrity, i.e. it
ensures that the final result generated by the printer matches the specification, regardless of
errors occurring during the printing process.

[1] PRISMAsync context
The PRISMAsync is part of the imagePRESS C7010VPS series.
For the imagePRESS C7010VPS series, the PRISMAsync provides the mechanisms for printing in
both 600 and 1200 dpi. Job control and data processing for print, scan and copy are handled by
the PRISMAsync controller.
This manual provides a description of the interfaces towards the imagePRESS C7010VPS series.
Job workflow management
Introduction
The life cycle of every individual print job typically consists of a number of stages. For a
successful job life cycle, the job will be spooled, ripped and printed. In the figure and table below,
a job life cycle is displayed with the use of a time line.

Scheduled jobs queue
Job stages
Print jobs that are sent to the 'Scheduled jobs queue' are printed automatically. The 'Scheduled
jobs queue' can hold jobs in various stages of their life cycle. The initial order in the 'Scheduled
jobs queue' is (when only prints to the 'Scheduled jobs queue' are made):
• Printing jobs (0 or 1)
•Ripped jobs (0 or more)
• Ripping jobs (0 or 1)
• Spooled/spooling jobs (0 or more)
You can use the Settings Editor to select the print workflow mode for each connection protocol
separately.
Receive-then-Print-while-RIP
In the Receive-then-Print-while-RIP mode the ripping job is present at the top of the 'Scheduled
jobs queue', printing for that job will start in parallel with ripping. This is detailed in the figure
below. The bold text in the figure below indicates the differences with the figure in the
Introduction on page 17.

[3] Time line for job stage transitions for Print-while-rip model
NOTE
Ripping in the Receive-then-Print-while-RIP mode will only start when the whole job is received.
Streaming
To be capable of printing extremely large print jobs in a productive way, the print path in the
Controller is tuned to support streaming behaviour:
• RIP while Receive, so that ripping can start before the whole job is received.
•Job(s) are accepted and spooled (independent of used protocol).
• Limited number (max 2000) of pages are ripped ahead.
For streaming jobs internal data is cleaned-up while printing. Therefore only one copy-set will be
printed. The production of multiple copies of a same (digital) original is therefore the
responsibility of the sending host or server. To delete a printing, streaming job, it must be
stopped on sheet boundary first. The attributes of a streaming job cannot be edited.
If on the imagePRESS C7010VPS series the history is enabled, streaming jobs end up in the
History queue. However, the streaming job cannot be copied to the 'Waiting jobs queue' for re-
print.
Scheduled jobs queue
18 Chapter 2 - PRISMAsync
imagePRESS C7010VPS series v2.2

Waiting jobs queue
Jobs in the imagePRESS C7010VPS series can be kept in ‘Waiting jobs queue’. The 'Waiting jobs
queue' contains jobs that have to be kept on the system for some time. It is not yet known when
they should be printed. Jobs in the 'Waiting jobs queue' are never printed automatically. User
intervention is required to start jobs from the 'Waiting jobs queue' to the 'Scheduled jobs queue'.
You can change the attributes of a job in the 'Waiting jobs queue'.
As soon as a new job is received in the 'Waiting jobs queue', the job ticket (when present) will be
interpreted and the job will be made visible. Spooling continues in parallel.
NOTE
If the history is enabled, printed jobs end up in the History queue.

Media selection
Introduction
This chapter describes the system behaviour of the imagePRESS C7010VPS series concerning
media selections. Described is the definition and selection of media types at the application side
(driver, application), at the server side and at the printer.
The 10 selecting media attributes, the colour specific (media family) attributes and the engine
specific media attributes are very important attributes which determine the output result.
• Media family
The media family is used to select the output profile for the colour management processing.
• Media Type (surface)
The Media Type (surface) and the Media Weight determine the fusing setpoints of the print
engine.
The following media attributes have to be filled in by the operator for proper media handling
by the print engine
• Surface type: used by the engine to make the correct internal settings
• Grain direction: the direction of the grain of the paper. This item is used by the engine to
make the correct internal settings.
• Engine specific media attributes
Engine specific media attributes also influence print quality and handling. These attributes are
described in the Canon user manual.
See paragraph "Engine specific media attributes" for the naming of the engine specific media
attributes in the Settings Editor.
Generic media attributes
In the imagePRESS C7010VPS series, a media type is defined by 10 media attributes. These
media attributes are inspired on the PostScript pagedevice attributes.
See the table below for the 10 media attributes. These 10 attributes are used for selecting a tray
for a media type that is specified for a job.
Media attribute Type Allowed values
Name String Free string
Type String Free string
Width Integer Measurement unit is 0.1 mm
Max width = 3302
Height Integer Measurement unit is 0.1 mm
Max height = 4877
Weight Integer 0 ... 999, or 0 for unknown
Colour String Free string
PrePunchMedia Integer 0 ... 999, or 0 for unknown
TabMedia Enum None / tab-inclusive
Inserttype Boolean True / false
CycleLength Integer 0 ... 999, or 0 for unknown
You cannot add media to the media catalogue that are larger than the maximum width and
height. The Settings Editor then adds the media to the media catalogue with the maximum
allowed width and height.
